Talk to Raminus Polus

Oblivion Moon Raminus 1
Head to the Arcane University and talk to Raminus Polus. He will tell you about Black Soul Gems and direct you to Tar-Meena at the Mystic Archives.

Talk to Tar-Meena

Oblivion Moon Tar Meena
Talk to Tar-Meena and she will instruct you to look for a book about Black Soul Gems called the Necromancer's Moon, said to be located in the Library.

Find Necromancer's Moon and Bring it Back to Tar-Meena

Oblivion Moon Book
Head to the Library and look for Necromancer's Moon. It should be located around the lower room of the Library, on top of a table.

Take it back to Tar-Meena and talk to her to learn a little bit more about it before instructing you to head back to Raminus.

She'll also bring up the Shade of the Revenant to you before leaving.

Bring the Book to Raminus

Oblivion Moon Raminus 2
Head back to Raminus and tell him about what you learned from Tar-Meena. He will direct you to Bothiel, who can be found wandering the campus or around the lobby.

Talk to Bothiel

Oblivion Moon Bothiel

Talk to Bothiel and she will tell you that she also isn't too familiar with it but remembers that Falcar, the mage from the Cheydinhal Recommendation quest, also asked something similar about the Shade of the Revenant.

She will write up a note for Raminus and asks you to bring it to him. Talk to Raminus and give him the note and he will instruct you to head to Dark Fissure Cave to investigate.

Head to the Dark Fissure Cave

Oblivion Moon Dark Fissure

Head to Dark Fissure Cave to investigate. The cave is located south of Cheydinhal, with an altar found in front of the door to the cave.

Players have two options to proceed: Wait for a Shade of the Revenant that happens every 8 days and observe the ritual or head inside the cave and kill the Worm Anchorite to steal the Handwritten Note.

Killing the Worm Anchorite is the faster approach to completing the quest as you will just need to get the note from their body as proof of the ritual.
