Lifting the Vale
Find just about anyone and ask them about 'Rumors' this will give you a new topic, ask about 'Akaviri Artifacts'. Follow your quest marker until you find Tolgan, talk to him and then follow your quest marker to find Countess Narina Carvain in the castle from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. Talk to her and when you have a long list of things to ask her about, ask about 'Draconian Madstone'.
Now ask about 'Draconian Madstone' again and accept her offer. Next ask her about 'Diary' to get a map marker for Dragonclaw Rock, north east of Bruma. Follow your quest marker to get there.
Once you get there, you need to go to due west of the landmark, watch for a statue. When you get to the statue you will get a quest update, now go north and you should find Serpent's Trail. If you're having problems finding this place it is just above the last 'L' in the word Ferall north of Bruma.
Go inside the cave, just make your way through the cave and you will eventually get a quest update when you encounter a skeleton, if you look at it you can see a piece of parchment, Akaviri Orders, go ahead and take it.
Just keep making your way through the cave and then you'll eventually come out the other side, when you do you will get a quest update. Now just follow the path until you get another quest update. The entrance is to the north west, just keep following the path and you will find the entrance.
Once you're inside you will have a quest marker, just follow it. You'll go through a couple of areas, eventually ending up in the Fangs of the Serpent, you'll be dodging traps and you'll come to a bridge that is raised, to the north corner of the start of the bridge, there is a handle, activate it to lower the bridge. Keep following your quest marker.
When you get to the targeted area, you will find a ghost, the Akaviri Commander Mishaxhi, talk to him and then give him the orders. Now a secret passage will open up, go in and the Dragonian Madstone is on a pillar, take it.
Now just follow your quest marker until you get outside. Once you're outside, fast travel to 'Castle Bruma' and then follow your quest marker to the countess, she is in attendance during the day, when you can talk to her and tell her you have the Madstone to complete this quest.
A Brotherhood Betrayed
When you enter Bradon Lirrian's house, you will see a body and some guards, one of the guards will come up to you and this quest will be activated. Ask the guard about 'Raynil Dralas', the guard will have to trust you before you can continue, once his disposition is around 75 he will tell you.
After that you need to talk to Erline Lirrian, chances are she is in her home with the guards and the body, talk to her. Now we have to talk to some townfolks outside about 'Raynil Dralas'. Just keep asking people about 'Raynil Dralas' until you find out he may be at Olav's Tap and Tack.
Go to Olav's Tap and Tack and speak to Olav, ask him about 'Raynil Dralas' and he will give you a key to Raynil's room. Now follow your quest marker into his room, when you are in there, there is a dresser against the north wall, behind the dresser is a book, Gelebourne's Journal, take it.
Go back to Olav, talk to him and ask him about 'Gelebourne'. Now follow your quest marker back to Carius Runellius, talk to him and ask him about 'Gelebourne'. Follow your quest marker back to Olav's Tap and Tack, then wait 1 hour.
When Carius appears, talk to him and he will give you a map marker for 'Boreal Stone Cave' which is west of Bruma, fast travel to your nearest map marker and then follow your quest marker to get there.
Once you get there go inside, you won't have a quest marker, so just go into the cave, you will encounter Raynil, don't attack him, let him approach you and talk to you, then kill him.
After you've killed Raynil, loot his corpse and take Bradon's Key, Gelebourne's Key and Raynil's Key. Now open the water logged chest in the west end of the first main room marker by your quest marker. Take the amulet and then get out of the cave, then fast travel to Bruma.
Once in Bruma, follow your quest marker to find Erline, talk to her and ask about 'Mundane Amulet'. There will be quite a bit of talking, a break in the conversation and then you will get a magic amulet from Erline and this quest will be complete.
Two Sides of the Coin
While wandering around Bruma you may overhear conversations about Arnora and Jorundr, or you may get the topic from asking about rumors, either way, when you have the topic, ask just about anyone about 'Jorundr' to activate this quest.
Follow your quest marker to find Arnora, talk to her and ask her about 'Jorundr' and then about 'Stolen Gold'. After speaking with her, follow your quest marker to find Jorundr in a prison cell, you will have to ask the guard to let you visit a prisoner.
When you talk to Jorundr ask about 'Stolen Gold' to find out he doesn't trust you, no matter what your disposition is with him. You'll need to get arrested, the easiest way is to steal an item infront of a guard, or pick pocket one of them.
Once you're in the cell with Jorundr, talk to him and ask about 'Stolen Gold'. After that you'll need to serve your time, or break out of prison. If you serve your time you may end up losing some points to some skills. After you're out and you have all your stuff back, follow your quest marker to Arnora.
Talk to Arnora and ask about 'Stolen Gold'. Now the quest will split into 2 different paths, doing it Jorundr's way by killing Arnora, or doing it Arnora's way and lieing to Jorundr. If you want to kill Arnora, read the next paragraph, if you want to do it Arnora's way skip the next 2 paragraphs.
Tell Arnora that you're going to do it Jorundr's way, then kill her, loot her corpse and take her key, you don't need the amulet she is wearing because its a fake, go downstairs and in the north west corner of the basement room is a locked chest that needs a key, open it to find the true amulet.
When you have the true amulet, follow your quest marker back to Jorundr, talk to him and ask him about 'Stolen Gold'. Now just follow your quest marker out of Bruma to the spot marked by your quest marker. There is a chest hidden in some rocks, this is Jorundr's Loot, go ahead and take it to complete the quest.
Tell Arnora that you're going to do it her way, she will give you the key to her chest, go downstairs in the north west corner of the basement room is a locked chest that needs a key, open it to find the true amulet.
When you have the true amulet, follow your quest marker back to Jorundr, talk to him and ask him about 'Stolen Gold'. Now just follow your quest marker out of Bruma to the spot marked by your quest marker. At some point, either before you find Jorundr's loot hidden in the rocks, or after you get it, Tyrellius will come up to you and pick a fight, kill him and make sure to get the loot from the chest. Now follow your quest marker back into Bruma to find out if Arnora is truly dead, when you find her body the quest will be complete.
