The Battle for Castle Kvatch Walkthrough

1 Talk to Savlian

To start the quest, talk to Savlian Matius inside the Chapel of Akatosh in Kvatch. He will ask you to join the assault to reclaim Castle Kvatch.
2 Follow Savlian to the Castle Gates

After speaking to Savlian, follow him outside as he heads to the castle gates. Deal with Scamps along the way, only to find that the gates are locked.
3 Return to the Chapel and Talk to Berich

Return to the Chapel of Akatosh and speak to Berich Inlan. Ask him for help with the Guard House Key.
4 Head to the Guard House

Berich, along with three Imperial Legion troopers, will accompany you to the Guard House. Head downstairs and enter through the Chapel Undercroft. Be careful, as you'll encounter enemies.

If Berich dies en route, loot the Guard House Key from his body.

Once outside, head north through the rubble of Kvatch to the Guard House. If Berich is still alive, he'll use the Guard House Key to unlock the Trap Door to the Castle Kvatch Passageway. Otherwise, you'll need to unlock it yourself using the key from his corpse.

Proceed through the passageway until you reach the Ladder to Kvatch. At the surface, activate the nearby Gate Lever to open the castle gates and regroup with Savlian.
5 Clear the Castle Courtyard

Help Salvian and his men defeat the enemies in the castle courtyard.

Note: As of this writing, there is a known bug that may prevent the quest objective from updating after clearing the area. Regardless, you can safely continue to the next step.
6 Find Ormellius Goldwine

Head inside the Kvatch Castle Great Hall and proceed forward until you reach the far end. Turn right to enter the Count's Quarters.

Defeat the enemies and search Ormellius Goldwine's body near the bed to retrieve the Colovian Signet Ring.
7 Deliver the Ring to Savlian

With the Colovian Signet Ring in hand, return to Savlian in the caste courtyard and give him the signet ring to complete the quest.

The Battle for Castle Kvatch Rewards

Kvatch Cuirass

Completing the The Battle for Castle Kvatch will reward you with the Kvatch Cuirass, a regular Light Armor that gives decent protection, making it a useful option for the early game.

Charge the Courtyard Bug Fix

Continue the Quest As Normal

TES IV Oblivion Charge the Courtyard Bug

As of this writing, a known bug may cause the quest objective to not update after clearing the castle courtyard. The quest marker will stay on Savlian Matius, and he’ll repeatedly shout, “Charge the courtyard!” when speaking to him.

To resolve this, simply continue with the quest as normal. Enter Castle Kvatch, reach the Count’s Quarters, and retrieve the Colovian Signet Ring from Count Ormellius Goldwine’s corpse. The quest will update once you find his body.
