Quest: Aid for Bruma
This is a multi-objective quest. Your goal is to speak to the leaders of each of the other major
cities in Cyrodiil, as well as the Elder Council in the Imperial City, and ask them to aid Bruma with
extra troops so that they can withstand more Daedric assaults. Obviously enough, most of the
leaders of the cities have their own problems, so you shouldn't expect this to be a simple matter
of just talking to different people and having that be that.
Elder Council
Speaking to the lead counsellor (Orato?) doesn't actually lead anywhere; he explains that the
Imperial army is tied up in the provinces, and asks you to go to the cities and gain their aid
directly. Since you've already been doing that, resist the urge to strike him down and simply walk
away.
If you go to the leaders of Anvil, Skingrad, Chorrol, Bravil, Leyawiin, and Cheydinhal, they'll all tell
you the same thing: they'd like to help, but they've got their own Oblivion Gates right outside of
town. In order to win their support for Bruma, you'll have to head into each of the gates, grab the
Sigil Stones, and shut them down. You should've done this a few times by now, so just get into
the central towers (which can sometimes be a tall task), scale them, and shut the gates down,
then return to the various Counts and Countesses to enlist their aid for Bruma.
Some of these planes are a bit more difficult than the others; we've described them below.
Cheydinhal: The Wayward Knight
Cheydinhal's gate has a subquest that goes along with it, so we'll go ahead and discuss it here. If
you speak to Amminus Gregori outside the Oblivion Gate, he'll tell you that the Count's son passed
through the gate with a group of wannabe adventurers and hasn't returned. If you're heading into
the gate anyway, maybe you could keep an eye out for the kid?
Inside the gate here, you'll pass through two sets of Daedra caves, lovingly called "The Bowels",
before you reach Farwil and his much more sensible friend Bremman, all that remain of the
Knights of the Thorn. Farwil won't hear any talk of retreat, and insists that you lead the way to the
citadel of the plane so that you can capture the sigil stone and shut the gate down. There are a lot
of Dremora in the citadel here, so you'll probably need their help; just try to rest every so often to
let Farwil and Bremman get their health back. The goal is to keep them alive, so save often and
reload if they happen to bite it. Both of your wards can move quite quickly, though, so be careful
not to hit them in the back when they run past you towards an enemy.
