Join the Dawnguard | Beginning TES V: Skyrim - Dawnguard Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Activating the quest

In order to begin the plot of the Dawnguard DLC, you need to be at least on level 10. After you obtain it, head to any city you want and speak to a guard. He will tell you a rumour of the vampire-fighting Dawnguard clan revival. You can receive similar information from the man named Durak, who will speak to you after you get attacked by vampires (random event). In both cases, the headquarters of the organization will be marked nearby Riften.

In order to reach it, head right after getting out of the city and you will reach a rocky path. Turn left then and head onwards while keeping an eye on the woods on the left.

Eventually you should note a canyon entrance there (Dayspring Canyon).

Follow it and you will come across yet another future member - Agmear. Head together to Fort Dawnguard. On your way you can speak to Durak, who's camping nearby the road. The Orc will give you a new type of weapon - the crossbow.

After getting inside the Fort, speak to Isran. Join the organization and ask for your first mission.
