The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints

Allies for Bruma

  • 1 of 5: At some point during the doing of the three previous main quests, Jauffre will tell you to speak to the rulers of every city (except Bruma) to see if you can gather a few allies for Bruma's defense.
  • 2 of 5: NOTE: You don't technically have to do all of this quest, or any of it. You could just talk to Martin and get going on the "Defense of Bruma" quest right away, but it's a really good idea to gain at least some allies first.
  • 3 of 5: There are eight cities that you can visit while seeking allies, each of which has its own hint section below.
  • 4 of 5: After you've completed all of those cities (or as many as you're ever going to), report back to Jauffre.
  • 5 of 5: NOTE: If you've already talked to Martin and gotten the "Defense of Bruma" quest, he and Jauffre will be in Bruma's Great Chapel of Talos.
