The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

South of Dawnstar, nestled beside the Pale’s frozen roads, stands the Hall of the Vigilant—a humble stone lodge once home to the Vigilants of Stendarr, a devout order sworn to root out Daedra worship, vampires, and other abominations across Skyrim. Modest in size but resolute in purpose, the hall served as a sanctuary, armory, and staging ground for the Vigilants’ crusade against evil. Inside, the scent of incense lingers among shelves of holy texts, silver weapons, and healing supplies. The walls bore symbols of Stendarr’s mercy and wrath, and the faithful within lived by strict discipline and unwavering conviction. However, by the time the Dawnguard questline begins, the hall lies in ruin, burned and slaughtered by Vampire forces—its defenders caught off-guard in the very home they believed protected them. The Hall of the Vigilant now stands as a somber warning: even the pious are not safe from the shadows they seek to banish.
