Go to Castle Anvil, speak with Countess Millona Umbranox. Ask for Aid for Bruma, she is willing to help, but not with an Oblivion Gate just outside the city walls. If you have closed the gate already she will lend support. Head on back to Castle Anvil after closing the Oblivion Gate and speak with Countess Millona Umbranox, picking Aid for Bruma to complete this part of the quest.  

===The Oblivion Gate===  

Just northwest of Anvil is the Oblivion Gate. Once in the Wastes of Oblivion follow the path southwest. Continue along it southeast, and when it you reach the fork in the road, take the southwest path. Never mind the two towers, keep your eyes on the west wall from this point on. There is a doorway kind of camouflaged into the wall called Nether Tunnels, head on in.

Take either tunnel to be on your way, it doesn't matter which, and head southwest. The door, Oblivion Cave, shouldn't be to hard to find. Inside, follow the north path and head down the northeast tunnel after that, head down this route and enter the Oblivion Cave. This leads back out to the Wastes of Oblivion.

Back outside take the northeast route. At the end of the path is a doorway to The Red Gnash Channels. Inside again, take the northwest trail and follow it until you see opening along the northeast wall. Go in and follow the path to its end, where a doorway leads back to Wastes of Oblivion.

Take either Rending Halls doorway and follow the path to a room. There is an opening along the north wall, enter and follow it until you reach The Flesh Spire doorway. Head up the ramp until coming to a door along the south wall leading to Dead Halls. Go up the path and until you find a small room. North will be a path which will bring you up, take the path, at the top is another room accompanied by a couple doors along the south wall which will bring you to The Flesh Spire.

Finally, follow this spire all the way up until you reach the final room, Sigillum Sanguis. Go up the path inside and enter the room along the inside walls. Go up the spiked staircase on either side of this area and then up the red ramp. You are at the top of the tower now, head to the center and remove the Sigil Stone.

Go to Castle Bravil, speak with Count Regulus Terentius. Ask for Aid for Bruma, he too is willing to help, but not with an Oblivion Gate just outside the city walls. If you have closed the gate already he will lend support. Once the Oblivion Gate is shut, head on back to Castle Bravil and speak with Count Regulus Terentius, choosing the Aid for Bruma option to complete this part of the quest. He sends his Guard Captain.

Straight north from the Oblivion Gate you will notice a gate blocking the path to all those towers straight ahead. We must open this to proceed to the towers. Take the west and follow until you find the bridge heading north. Along this path the path will you will see a mound with bloodied claws coming out the top with a fire on it as well. There is a door at the base of it leading to the Caverns of the Abused, head in.

Inside follow the tunnel to the first room, where you will find a doorway leading back outside on the north wall and a tunnel deeper into this area in the southeast corner, take the tunnel down. You will come to another room, this time with a hole in the ground which is emitting a orange glow into this room, drop down. Down here head east down the tunnel to a door that opens to Blood Well. Head up using the Corpse Masher and once it stops ignore the door leading back outside and head to the top of this tower. Activate the Gate Control and head back down and now exit to Waste of Oblivion.  

*'''Note:''' Hitting this Gate Control is irrelevant now since where you exit to leads to the tower you were needed to get to in the first place. But since that is what we thought to we would be doing, why not finish the job?  

Cross the bridge, and begin southeast. Look, the gate. Head north from the gate and you will see the entrance into The Lust Keep called, The Tower Portal. Inside, are two Rending Halls doorway, go through the '''west''' one. Head up the path to the room at the top. There is another pathway north in this room leading up and a Citadel Hall Door down the hall on the east wall, if you took the east doorway to this area, go through the Citadel Hall Door, otherwise ignore it as it only links the two paths. Take the north path, at the top of the path is a The Lust Keep.  

Take this path all the way to the top ignoring the doors to the Corridors of Dark Salvation. Once you reach the top you'll notice two platforms emitting a orange called Runed Portal to The Lust Keep, use it. This will bring you to the platforms above you. Be prepared for a little fight. Take either door to the Sigillum Sanguis. Go up the path inside and enter the room along the inside walls. Go up the spiked staircase on either side of this area and then up the red ramp. You are at the top of the tower now, head to the center and remove the Sigil Stone.

Go to Castle Chorrol and into the great hall. Talk to Countess Valga and ask about Aid for Bruma. She too is willing to help, but not with an Oblivion Gate just outside the city walls.

In Skingrad you will first need to locate Mercator Hosidus and ask him for Aid for Bruma, he'll summon the count for you.
