Rebuilding the Blades

Rebuilding the Blades is a quest available in . This will not appear by this name in the journal. Instead, there will be a miscellaneous quest to "Bring a follower to Delphine." Delphine has requested the Dragonborn to bring her three followers who will then take an oath and be inducted into the Blades.
==Objectives==
#Bring a follower to Delphine (three times)
#Ask Esbern about dragon lairs
==Walkthrough==
After completing the main quest Alduin's Wall, the Dragonborn can talk to Delphine and ask "So this is all the Blades? Two people?", at which point Delphine will say that eventually the Blades will be rebuilt. The Dragonborn can offer to bring new recruits to the Blades. Talking to Delphine while having a follower will allow that follower to be inducted into the Blades.
Miscellaneous followers (except Serana), mercenaries, housecarls, Companions, college students, and Dawnguard members can join the Blades. Non-humanoid followers, quest-exclusive followers, Dark Brotherhood members, and Serana cannot join the Blades. A maximum of three followers can be recruited.
Once a follower becomes a Blade, they will move to Sky Haven Temple and are no longer found at their original location when dismissed. The only exception is Derkeethus, who will be at his original location due to a bug. 
Once three followers are sworn in to become Blades, the "Dragon Hunting" quest becomes available which involves slaying a dragon at a random dragon lair with the new recruits. 
Should a Blade recruit die, they cannot be replaced by inducting another follower. As such, choosing an essential character (such as Erandur, Frea or Mjoll the Lioness) to become one of the three Blade recruits is a strong strategic choice.
A Blade member's combat morale depends on the character's faction and/or class. Some characters will fight until defeated while others will flee from battle when their health is low.

==Trivia==
*It is possible to begin this quest without killing Paarthurnax by talking to Delphine after the completion of "Alduin's Wall."
*Mercenaries can follow the Dragonborn for no charge if recruited into the faction.
*Recruits who die by any means cannot be replaced by inducting new members.
*Winterhold is the only Hold that does not have a Housecarl that can be recruited into the Blades.
*Since all Blades recruits are given the heavy armor set of the Blades along with the shield and the one-handed weapon Blades Sword, followers that are skilled in Heavy Armor, One-Handed, and Block will benefit most from the new gear, while followers without these skills may be handicapped.
==Bugs==
*Armor given to Blades inductees prior to their induction may be removed from their inventory.
*Housecarls who are chosen to become Blades will say "I will be back at your house if you need me, Thane.", though they will return to Sky Haven Temple.
*Occasionally, Blades inductees will return to the place they where recruited despite Delphine having accepted them.
**Loading a save game before recruiting the previous Blade follower, which is only possible if the inductee if not the first to be recruited, will fix the issue.
*Esbern may not respond properly to the Dragonborn's attempts to interact, and instead only say "Did you say something?"
*When recruiting Mjoll the Lioness, Aerin can still follow her around, keeping him at Sky Haven Temple for the rest of the game.
**He will also follow Mjoll when sent by Esbern to slay a dragon.
