How do I start the "Daedric Relic" quest?

[JMO]

Can anyone tell me (from my description below) f there's a step I missed? In the very least does anyone know what the quest ID is? I cannot seem to find it in my googling.

I went to the Midden Dark. Found the Incident report and key. Examined the glove. No quest started. I don't see anything in my list (not even my miscellaneous quests) related to it.

As a test I went up to the Arcaneum and I can open the chest and the rings appear to be in there but again, no quest steps seem to be progressing. Isn't that supposed to happen?

I should add I'm using Skyrim SE, no mods but with Anniversary Edition content updates

According to UESP, there's no actual way to start the quest. The items you need to start it are there, and everything occurs as it's supposed to; however, the quest stages are empty, so it doesn't have a journal entry.

You could try just googling how to find them. But honestly I felt like it wasn't worth the trouble of finding them. The reward is a map. Have to find the treasure to get lots of loot that isn't anything really special or useful.

OK great. Thanks. I'm not really having any trouble figuring out what to do. But with the lack of little quest-step announcements, I was worried that I was missing something.

You weren't missing anything and yes it's not hard to figure out what to do from the in-game hints.

Believe it or not, it's one of those rare 'problems' in Beth games, rather than hard core quest, which one solves for ones self, as one would in real life.

I know, totally against the usual dumbed down game that is Skyrim, I've often thought it was left in the game by mistake.

I found it a breath of fresh air - a return to real gaming where hands were not held. But then mages, who are the most likely to stumble across it, are supposed to be intelligent.

One of the under-rated and oft missed highlights of Skyrim no less.
