Previously, Davilas learned Words of Power at Shriekwind Bastion and Arcwind Point. Now, he will see if he can find any other Words of Power before he starts on the Dawnguard storyline.

After resuming at High Hrothgar, Davilas consults with Arngeir, but there is not an option to ask him about available Words of Power. So, Davilas heads home to manage his inventory.

While recharging his enchanted items, Davilas reaches Level 50. He increases his Magicka. For reaching Level 50, the player earns the silver trophy "Master". I believe this is the last level-related trophy.

Now, Davilas will get started on the Dawnguard storyline. The quest "Dawnguard" began when he heard about vampire-hunters fixing up Fort Dawnguard near Riften.

To get to Fort Dawnguard, Davilas fast-travels to the Black-Briar Lodge east of Riften. From the lodge, he follows the path southeast.

He soon finds a cave leading to an outdoor area, Dayspring Canyon. He discovers Fort Dawnguard in the east of this canyon.

In the entrance of Fort Dawnguard, Davilas finds Isran, the leader of the Dawnguard, in conversation with a Vigilant, Tolan. The vampires have hit the Vigilants hard. When Davilas expresses his interest in joining the Dawnguard, the quest "Dawnguard" is complete.

The second primary Dawnguard quest, "Awakening", begins. Isran tells Davilas to go to Dimhollow Crypt and see what the vampires are looking for. Isran also issues Davilas a Crossbow and some bolts for use against the vampires. Tolan indicates that he will meet Davilas at Dimhollow.

Davilas has already discovered Dimhollow Crypt southwest of Dawnstar, so he fast-travels there. When he arrives, he enters Dimhollow Crypt. At the entrance, he finds that some vampires have killed Tolan. Sorry, Tolan. Proceeding deeper in, Davilas will also encounter skeletons, Draugr, and the vampires' Death Hounds.

Deep inside, Davilas takes the exit to the second zone, Dimhollow Cavern. As he arrives, he eavesdrops on some words from the vampires' leader, Lokil.

Upon approaching the circular island in the middle of the pond in this cavern, Davilas will encounter Lokil and his forces. Once Lokil et al. are dead, Davilas can work on the puzzle in the center island. FIrst, he activates teh center button. Then, he must push each brazier until it lights up with purple energy.

Once each brazier is in place, a stone monolith rises from the center and releases a mysterious woman. Davilas talks to her. She is a vampire named Serana, but she is not hostile. "Awakening" complete! The player earns the Dawnguard trophy "Awakening" for finishing this quest.

The next quest, "Bloodline", starts. Serana's responses make it clear that she has been locked away for a long time. She has an Elder Scroll on her back. She asks Davilas to take her to her home in the northwest of Skyrim.

But first, they have to escape from the cavern. As they make their way out, they find a coliseum of sorts where they encounter some Draugr and other undead.

In the boss chest, Davilas finds a "Spell Tome: Grand Healing". This teaches Grand Healing, an Expert-level Restoration spell. Excellent.

There is also a Word Wall here. Davilas missed it, but he will be back later.

Davilas leads the way out to Skyrim. Unfortunately, my sign-off is delayed by a dragon attack. Well, at least Davilas gets another Dragon Soul out of it.

Next time, Davilas will take Serana back to her not-so-loving home.

Thanks for watching!
