If you’ve just got the Oblivion Remaster Digital Deluxe Edition, you can start with the Burning Trail DLC quest. This one is a side adventure that starts in the Imperial City and takes you on a journey across Cyrodiil, chasing hidden notes, following clues, and uncovering secrets tied to the Mythic Dawn. If you’re thinking where to go or what to do next, this guide will help you.
How to Start the Burning Trail Quest

First you need to fast travel to the Imperial City. You need to look for a dragon statue near where you spawn. Head to the left side of the statue, and there you’ll find a note lying around. Pick that up that’s your official start to the quest. This DLC quest is all about tracking down hidden notes. Each one moves the story forward and leads you to the next location.
The Shrine in the South

Next, you’ll need to travel south to a shrine. You might have to ride there since there aren’t always fast travel points nearby. Once at the shrine, look for where the wolf statue is gazing. Walk over to that direction and check behind the tree nearby to find the second note.

Now you need to head west, to another shrine called Moagbar’s Shrine. Once you get there, the clue talks about the sun, so it’s hinting at the direction. Just look for the tree to the right of the shrine, and you’ll spot the next note on it.
Town of Brail
Head to the town of Brail. You’ll see a giant church. In front of it, there’s a lady statue. The next note is sitting right on the wall near that statue. If you want, you can skip the earlier steps and just grab this one to jump ahead.
Tavern & Duma Lady
Now you have to go across the bridge just past the church, and you’ll find a tavern. Head inside and talk to a Duma woman. You’ll need to bribe or persuade her to talk. Just bribe her until her disposition hit 90, then ask her about the Mythic Dawn. She’ll give you a set of Mythic Dawn robes and give you the location of the final cave.
Cave Location
You have two ways to start this part:
- Wear the Mythic Dawn robes when you enter the cave. The cultists will think you’re one of them. But if you want the final reward, you’ll have to burn a guard alive at the stake.
- Don’t wear the robes, and you’ll have to fight everyone inside, but you still get the same reward without burning anyone.
Once that’s done, summon the final NPC(You can summon her by the Summon Mehrunes Harbinger spell), and you’ll get to choose from a bunch of weapons and armor as your reward. As a bonus, head to the stables shown on your map, talk to the orc stablemaster, and you can claim your horse armor too.
