The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
Fingers of the Mountain
1 of 11: Speak to Teekeeus in the Chorrol Mages Guild about "Recommendation" and "Earana" to get this quest.
2 of 11: NOTE: You can talk to other people in the guild building about Earana to learn why she and Teekeeus are at odds.
3 of 11: Exit the guild and use the quest arrow on the local area map to locate Earana.
4 of 11: When you talk to her, agree to assist her in the "small matter" she mentions.
5 of 11: She wants a book called "Fingers of the Mountain" that can be found in some ruins called Cloud Top.
6 of 11: Return to Teekeeus in the guild and talk to him about the book to learn that he wants it, too.
7 of 11: Go to the Cloud Top ruins (location 27 on the Colovian Highlands map) and look around.
8 of 11: The book you want is on the charred remains that are on the ground next to the "stump" of a large pillar.
9 of 11: Return to Chorrol with the book and decide who to give it to.
10 of 11: Since Teekeeus is the one you need the recommendation from, it makes the most sense to give it to him.
11 of 11: The quest is now over, but you can go talk to Earana to start a sort of "sequel quest" in which you can learn a new spell.
