Description

Looming from the ice-choked shores of northwest Skyrim, Castle Volkihar is an imposing, gothic fortress that rises above the Sea of Ghosts like a wound in the sky. Built by an ancient vampire clan of the same name, the castle's shadowed towers, bat-like spires, and frostbitten walls are soaked in centuries of blood, betrayal, and undeath. Within its stone halls, the Volkihar vampire clan rules in secrecy and splendor. Grand chambers lit by flickering braziers host courts of the undead, while lower levels descend into catacombs filled with thralls, monstrous guardians, and forgotten horrors. As the central location of the Dawnguard questline, the castle plays a key role in the fate of Skyrim’s night-stalkers and their war against the light. Isolated and formidable, Castle Volkihar is not just a seat of vampiric power—it is a prison of legacy, where time, death, and ambition sleep beneath the waves.
