This quest begins once you complete Dark Brotherhood Quest: Whispers in the Dark and the two side contracts, and after you speak with Astrid.

The next time you visit the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, Astrid stops you to talk. Although she isn’t sure what’s happening with you and the voices inside your head, she feels it would be beneficial for you to complete the liaison with the contact the Night Mother mentioned to you. You’re to set off for Volunruud, a crypt to the northeast, at your earliest convenience.
