The Volkihar Clan is a court of ancient vampires ruled by Lord Harkon from Castle Volkihar, a gloomy fortress on an island off the coast of Haafingar. Harkon has a plan: use a prophecy and his daughter’s blood to blot out the sun for good.
How to join
In the Dawnguard questline you escort Serana home to Castle Volkihar. In “Bloodline”, Harkon offers you his gift – the power of a Vampire Lord. Accept, and you join the clan. Refuse, and he sends you packing back to the Dawnguard.
Who’s who
- Lord Harkon – the clan’s lord.
- Serana – his daughter, who isn’t on board with his plans.
- Valerica – Harkon’s estranged wife, hiding Serana’s secret.
Good to know
- Joining gives you pure-blooded vampirism and the Vampire Lord form with its own perk tree.
- Even as a member, you’ll end up facing Harkon at the end of the questline.
