The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
The Wandering Scholar
1 of 8: After you finish Oreyn's "Azani Blackheart" quest and get promoted to Warder, talk to Azzan about "Contract" and "Elante of Alinor."
2 of 8: He'll send you to the Brittlerock Cave (location 16 on the Gold Coast map) to help a scholar explore the area and find a regular old Daedric shrine (not the kind you can get a quest from).
3 of 8: Talk to Elante, who's just inside the cave, about the Daedric shrine.
4 of 8: Then follow her closely as she heads forward. She isn't one of those immortal "unconscious-only" people, so you'll need to put forth some effort to keep her from getting killed.
5 of 8: TIP: Run ahead and clear out at least some of the Daedra before talking to Elante and getting her to follow you.
6 of 8: After you reach the shrine area, keep following Elante around until she gives you a skill book and says that you can go now.
7 of 8: Either go back the way you came or find the door to the Brittlerock Lower Passages area and leave that way (more combat and loot).
