Thank you for ensuring the safe return of my daughter.

What is your name?

 

 

 

 

I'm Anya. You must be Lord Harkon.

So you're aware of me?

 

 

Then you must know why I've brought you here.

 

Yes.

 

 

 

Good. 

 

 

I will offer you one chance,
become a vampire and join us,
or you will live out the rest of your days in the castle dungeon.

 

Choose wisely.

 

 

 

...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First I have a question.

 

 

 

 

 

Is the Tyranny of The Sun true?
Will vampires really destroy the sun and rule Tamriel?

 

Yes. It is destiny.

Now make your choice.

 

 

 

No.

 

 

I reject your offer.

 

 

 

Anya, are you insane?

 

 

You're choosing death!

 

 

 

I know Serana. I'm sorry.

 

 

I would rather die living than live as the dead.

 

 

 

 

So be it.

 

 

I'm sorry about Anya, father.
I know she's against vampirism but I thought your ultimatum would sway her.

 

 

No matter.

I could tell from her tenacity she would have made an excellent vampire.

 

 

I have so many questions, Father, how long have I been away?
Where is my mother?

 

 

You were away for over a thousand years.

 

 

And your traitorous mother has been missing for just as long.
If it weren't for her, you would have retrieved the elder scroll centuries ago.

When I find her, she will pay.

 

 

How could she just vanish? She told me she would be...

 

 

Uhg ...Nevermind.

I'm still furious she locked me away without any explanation.

 

 

Didn't you look for me?

 

For centuries, yes. It's as if you were in another realm. 

I can only assume you're mother is hiding the same way she hid you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lord Harkon, Lady Serana,

 

The court is prepared for your arrival.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Glare*

 

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome.

 

My advisors and I have forged a plan that will strike down two of our greatest foes - with one stone.

 

 

The Dawnguard,

 

 

And the Sun.

 

 

Garan Marethi, please tell the court our plan.

 

 

Yes my Lord.
The Dawnguard have found the elder scroll that will lead us to Auriel's Bow. One of my spies has informed me that a Dawnguard leader will soon be visiting Redwater Den. 

 

 

The Dawnguard do not yet know that Redwater Den is vampire territory.
I will enthrall the Dawnguard leader, and tell her to relay the information within the scroll to us.

 

 

 

But how will the Dawnguard read the scroll? There are no Moth Priests in Skyrim. Only they can read an elder scroll.

 

 

I've seen Fort Dawnguard.

 

They barely have anyone who can read at all.

 

 

 

 

 

You must be Serana. I've heard a lot about you.

 

 

 

I disagree with the plan too.

 

 

Why waste time enthralling Dawnguard at Redwater Den when I heard we have one right here in our dungeon.

 

 

Who are you?

 

 

I'm Faye, the newest member of the court.
(and most beautiful).

 

 

Why not just use Serana's thrall? 

 

 

Or is he too weak? 

 

 

 

 

She's not my thrall.

I'm trying to get her to become a vampire.

 

 

 

Do not worry, I assure you I have anticipated everything. 

 

The Dawnguard would easily find a vampire among them,
but a human thrall will go undetected.

If Serana does not convert the girl to our cause,
we will use her as our spy.

However, Garan will still go to Redwater Den to ensure we have a spy should the girl be turned.

 

 

 

It will be done, My Lord.

 

 

 

What about the elder scroll? 

 

 

 

 

That is where all of you come in.
Spread word to the rest of the clan. We will lure a Moth Priest to Skyrim.

 

 

Spread rumors throughout the towns,

 

 

write letters to Cyrodiil,

 

 

and kill any Dawnguard you find along the way.

 

 

Let them find their Moth Priest.

 

Dammit!

 

 

This isn't part of the plan!

 

If Harkon fulfills the prophecy I will never have his throne!

And now I have Lady Serana to worry about too.

 

 

This is just a minor setback Orthjolf.
You are still Lord Harkon's top advisor, not Vingalmo.
You will be his sucessor.

 

 

Hmm. That is true.

 

Lord Harkon's reign has gone on far too long.

 

I have a new plan. We must not allow a Moth Priest to read the scroll!

Take the gargoyles, capture and imprison any Moth Priest you find.

That will give us more time.  

 

 

 

Yes, Orthjolf.

 

Vingalmo, why are we meeting in an abandoned part of the castle?

What if someone sees us and thinks we're plotting something?

 

 

 

We are plotting something you dunce.

Besides, no one would dare question Harkon's top advisor.

 

 

Lady Serana's return is ahead of schedule.
I must accelerate my plan if I want to overthrow Harkon. 

 

 

Meet me in the Castle Undercroft. In one hour. 

 

 

Bring the death hound dominance potions.
