Walkthrough[]
When approaching the Shademist Moors, you will encounter a man named Heluin. He will tell you not to head into the moors, as people have been disappearing there. When their bodies are found again, they are drained of blood. When you inquire about the cause, he will direct you to Breduin, a man who has decided to stay in the moors.
Breduin's home can be found in the northeast of the moors. He will tell you what has been going on; the mists around the area have changed to a sickly colour of late, and people have been walking into them as if bewitched. He also tells you that a Dunmer adventurer has recently entered the Moors, seemingly with a purpose and armed for battle. Your task now is to find this Dunmer.
Head for the center of the Moors, just south of the map icon. You will find a Dunmer named Mel Adrys there; speak with him and he will tell you that all this is the work of vampires. He is a vampire hunter, and he has determined that there is a lair nearby. When you offer to help, he will tell you to head to the vampire lair on the hill to the east. On this hill, you will also find the body of a man named Ancalmo, which will give you the quest "Deadly Ambition." That quest takes place in the same area as this one, so it can be efficient to do both simultaneously.
Head inside and speak with Mel Adrys there. He has just overpowered a vampire, ad was about to deal the killing blow. When you ask him to let you speak to the vampire for imformation, he will comply. Speak with Gadinas and he will tell you that their clan were not always dangerous. They used to feed on Hoarvors that had drank blood, and they never harmed people. All of this changed though when a mysterious traveler brought them a magic skull, and promised that they would not have to hide anymore. The skull's power seeps into the mists here; it allows the vampires to make endless thralls.
At this point, you can either convince Mel to spare Gadinas or allow him to slay him. Either way, head on deeper into the cave and search out the vampires' leaders. You will find Athraedal in the next room; once she is dead, head on toward the eastern room to take out Faenir Blood-Letter. Finally, head for the southern room and you will find Lathriel the Pale. Kill her, then head to the north of the cave to destroy the Skull of Vargarion that Gadinas told you about. You will have to head through the eastern room to reach the upper path. Once you have destroyed the skull, head outside and back to the town where you met Breduin and talk to him. This will finish the quest.
