I'm going to start out by stating that my question has nothing to do with any aspect of Oblivion that you may (or may not) know. It involves a mod I downloaded, and its quest that I can't figure out....
Basically, I downloaded Blood and Mud (http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12016) which is a mod made for Oblivion PC. However, I'm currently stuck in a quest. This quest has no markers nor specific NPCs that I should look for. There also isn't a direct location or target specified. It also doesn't help that the mod has been translated from German (quite badly). The mod alters Bravil and adds three quests. So of course, these quests take place in Bravil, and apparently the surrounding areas around Bravil.
In the readme document, there is a hint for the part I'm stuck at.
--- I do not understand the book "The Forgotten Realm".
Any paragraph is a hint - the first more general what you should be aware of, the second directly quest-related. What is a "wyrm" somehow, AND "golden" AND saves you from "fire".
That is the absolute worst hint I've ever seen for a game so it surely didn't help. (Pictures of the book below)
To help with your hopefully helpful deductions; wyrm is an actual word (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyrm) loosely meaning a dragon or a worm. This still makes no sense. However, I've deduced that the third part of the riddle may involve water (as Bravil has plenty), but the "golden" part still has me puzzled unless it's the indicator of the location, but there is nothing gold near the water nor is there a dragon (or worm) either.
To boot, I've broken into every house in Bravil and searched every box (dresser....), everyone has been pickpocketed but no avail, and I've spoken with everyone also.
So, if you can solve this riddle, you'll firstly have me baffled then I'll find a virtual cookie for you.
If it helps, I took some screenshots of the area, but I doubt that will make too much of a difference in help.
