Main article: Locations (Dawnguard)

Dayspring Canyon is an unmarked location in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard that is located north of Stendarr's Beacon. It appears as a small opening in the side of the mountain.

Geographic features[]

Within the canyon, the initial path lies within a narrow ravine that leads straight towards a breathtaking view of a glacial waterfall overlooking a small lake. By the lake are some remnants of a fisherman's camp among several samples of Spiky Grass found by the shore. The path on the left leads up a hill to Fort Dawnguard.

Quests[]

Dawnguard[]

A young Nord recruit named Agmaer can be found admiring the view. He asks if he can accompany the Dragonborn to the Fort and remarks on his nervous disposition and his high hopes of joining the Dawnguard.

Characters[]

Four refugees can be found outside the fort in a small camp once "Beyond Death" has started:

Besides the refugees, members of the Dawnguard can be found in the Canyon. The three guards can always be found protecting the outside of the fort:

Sometimes, Vampire scouts can be found watching the fort, and will be hostile when approached or interacted with.

Trivia[]

  • The marker on the map does not line up with the actual location if the Dragonborn is following the "Dawnguard" questline, though Clairvoyance spell should help to locate the small opening on the side of a road.
    • To find it without the spell, the Dragonborn should follow the path north from Stendarr's Beacon. After descending the hill, they should keep going north on the road, keeping an eye to the right. There will be a narrow opening, like a cave, in the rock. There is also a brazier/sconce next to it to help the Dragonborn find it.
    • Another way to find the entrance is to ride a horse along the cliff on the right of the track. The entrance will have been reached whenever the option to dismount appears.
  • Using the shout Clear Skies here will clear fog/rain but not cloud cover.
