In Oblivion Remastered, the Lifting the Vale quest requires a Fame level of at least 10. Once you fulfill this prerequisite, arrive at Bruma. Next, wait for some time until a person named Tolgan approaches you. Upon interacting with him, you will know that he serves Countess Narina Carvain, who wishes to meet you.

Proceed to Bruma Castle and talk to the Countess. She will task you with retrieving an Akaviri artifact called the Draconian Madstone from the ruins of Pale Pass. She will also provide you with a diary and a sketch to help you in your journey.

To begin the hunt for the Madstone, follow the quest marker and arrive at the Dragonclaw Rock. Once there, head west up the mountain. After a short distance, you will spot a huge Sentinel statue. From this point, continue north to reach the entrance to the Serpent’s Trail.

Enter the cave and proceed through it, defeating enemies along the way. Towards the trail’s end, you will locate the door to Pale Pass. The next part of the quest requires you to follow the snowy path through the valley to reach the Pale Pass ruins. As you move forward, you will spot two statues. These statues confirm that you are on the right path to Fort Pale Pass. Now, locate the door to the Serpent’s Mouth. Head inside, and follow the map markers until you reach the Venom of the Serpent location within the cave.

Here, you will encounter the spirit of Mishaxhi, an Akavariri Commander. Talk to him about the Madstone. Next, a dialogue will start with three choices; select “Here are your orders.” Doing so will open a hidden door. Enter the room beyond and collect the Draconian Madstone.
