Answer: An Elder Scroll, and Serana a Vampire

As you dwell deeper into the crypt you encounter a sarcophagus containing a mysterious woman called Serana who has an Elder Scroll in her possession. She explains her father, Lord Harkon is a powerful vampire and she asks if you can escort her home, to Castle Volkihar.

Answer: His blood and the ability to become a Vampire Lord

At this point you are literally given the choice of whether to join the vampires and aid Harkon in his insidious plans to blot out the sun or to refuse his "gift" and choose to help the Dawnguard instead. If you refuse his gift then you are teleported outside the castle, however if you choose to accept his gift then you awaken feeling rather... different.

However upon arrival at the Spring in Redwater Den you learn that two vampires from the Castle, Stalf and Salonia Caelia have been "ordered" by Harkon to kill anyone trying to steal from the Blood Spring. You later learn back at the Castle, that Harkon's position is a much coveted one and that one of his advisors must have sent the two vampires.

Answer: She sealed herself away in the realm of Oblivion, the Soul Cairn

Having learnt more about the prophecy Lord Harkon wishes to bring about, Valerica took the Elder Scroll and hid it away with her in her secret study within Castle Volkihar. To protect the scroll further she opened a portal to the Soul Cairn, and sealed herself away within it. It's up to you and Serana to venture into the Soul Cairn and retrieve the scroll.

Answer: The Ideal Masters

The Ideal Masters, are the insidious gem-like beings found within the Soul Cairn. Though these gems are thought to be the Ideal Masters, it isn't confirmed what form they actually take on. The Ideal Masters often make bargains with Necromancers, though they are known for their betrayal of these bargains later on, tricking the Necromancers.

Answer: The Boneyard Keepers

After bringing down the barrier you must deal with Durnehviir, a unique dragon that prowls the Soul Cairn under the orders of the Ideal Masters. Upon his defeat you finally reclaim the Elder Scroll, Valerica has kept sealed away all these years and you may return to Tamriel.

Answer: Auriel's Bow

Auriel's Bow, a powerful weapon once thought to have been wielded by Auriel himself (well obviously since it was named after him), is what the vampire's ultimately desire. Depending on what side you are on you embark on a quest to get the bow in order to end the tyranny of the sun, or get the bow to stop the vampires from getting their hands on it.

Which entails you reaching the other Wayshrines of Auriel and filling the Initiate's Ewer in order to gain access to Auriel's Temple.

Answer: The Forgotten Vale

The Forgotten Vale is a huge location where not only will you find Wayshrines, but legendary dragons that can swim and dive into the frozen lakes. It is also here where you confront Vyrthur, at the Temple of Auriel and learn the origins of the prophecy and obtain Auriel's Bow.

Answer: Serana

Serana, a "Daughter of Coldharbour" (meaning originated from Molag Bal who is thought to have first bestowed the disease of vampirism in Tamriel) must be sacrificed in order to complete the prophecy. Now it is up to you confront Lord Harkon, whether for the Vampires or for the Dawnguard.

Answer: You hand over Auriel's Bow

Whether you hand over the bow is up to you, either way the evil Vampire Lord attacks you. Upon his slaying you commended by either side, Vampires or Dawnguard and have successfully completed the "Dawnguard's" Main Questline!
