The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
Skingrad
1 of 8: Go to the Castle Skingrad County Hall and ask Mercator Hosidus about aid for Bruma. (If Hosidus got killed on a Mages Guild quest, talk to Hal-Liurz instead.)
2 of 8: Wait while Hosidus goes and gets Count Janus Hassildor for you.
3 of 8: NOTE: While the count is talking to you, you may notice the tell-tale fangs that mark him as a vampire, but you needn't worry about that now.
4 of 8: When you ask the count for aid for Bruma, he'll say that he can't send any aid while Skingrad is being threatened by the nearby Oblivion gate.
5 of 8: The Oblivion gate he refers to is NE of Castle Skingrad, up on a hill just NE of Bloodcrust Cavern.
6 of 8: It'll take you to a copy of Oblivion World 4, so see its hints for details.
7 of 8: When you get back, return to the Castle Skingrad County Hall.
8 of 8: Have Hosidus or Hal-Liurz summon the count as before, then talk to the count about aid for Bruma to get it arranged.
