If you are talking about Pariah Abbey I've been there, no quests

Yeah I think you have to go inside and watch a short skit or talk to the alter or something...then you go back to where u are and dude is in.a hut on the south side to give you the quest...think u even get a quest that takes you from the Abby to the dudes hut

I assume you've done the following quests:
Pursuing the Shard: Head to Wayrest to inform High King Emeric of the theft from the Abbey.
The Signet Ring: (Required for Cadwell's Almanac) Help resolve the situation between Count Hosni at-Tura and his father.
Evidence Against Adima: (Required for Cadwell's Almanac) Help Lady Sirali at-Tura collect enough incriminating evidence to exonerate her son.
Saving Hosni: (Required for Cadwell's Almanac) Take another trip into the Dreamstride at the at-Tura Estate.

Have you completed the following quests?

The Return of the Dream Shard: Return the stolen Dream Shard to Pariah Abbey.
Another Omen: Warn High King Emeric of the emergent threat in Gavaudon.
General Godrun's Orders: Help the Murtag Clan reclaim Shinji's Scarp.
Ending the Ogre Threat: (Required for Cadwell's Almanac) Stop the Ironhand ogres from using a mountain cavern to attack Shinji's Scarp.
Godrun's Dream: (Required for Cadwell's Almanac) Rescue the general from the realm of nightmares.

The General or Abbot isn't neccessarily the person to use to pick up the quest. There is a lieutenant and a sargeant involved from memory with minor quests feeding into the main quest line.

I see . Obviously you missed the bit where the Abbot said that the Midnight Union took the shard Emeric asked you to go to the At-tura Estate to investigate the leader of the Midnight Union . It happens.
