The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Dawnguard

Summary

The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard is the first official expansion/DLC. Dawnguard centers on an ancient prophecy revealed by an Elder Scroll. This prophecy speaks of the sun's eternal concealment and provides instructions for a magical ritual involving a legendary bow and a rare blood offering. A vampire faction known as the Volkihar Clan, led by Lord Harkon, aims to bring the prophecy to life through this ritual. Opposing them is the Dawnguard, a group of vampire hunters who wield powerful crossbows. Skyrim's Dragonborn must decide whether to align with the Dawnguard to stop the world from falling into endless darkness or aid the vampire clan in fulfilling their sinister vision. Dawnguard introduces two exclusive skill trees: one for vampirism, called "Vampire Lord," and another for lycanthropy. The DLC includes twenty-two quests, with twelve forming the main storyline and several optional side quests. Some repeatable, radiant quests are also available. The story splits at the quest "A New Order," where the player must choose a permanent allegiance between the Volkihar Clan or the Dawnguard. Numerous new items, characters, and weapons are added with this DLC.

Storyline

The Vampire Lord Harkon has risen once more. Armed with the Elder Scrolls, he aims to accomplish the impossible—extinguishing the sun itself. Will you stand with the ancient Dawnguard to stop him? Or will you embrace your own dark destiny and become a Vampire Lord? In Dawnguard, the ultimate decision is yours to make.
