Rising at Dawn

Out of Blackness Comes Forth Light

When fighting vampires, there is a chance that you may contract the disease Sanguinare Vampiris. While this disease can be easily cured through normal means, if left untreated, it will eventually cause you to become a Vampire. If you would like to remove vampirism from your body, complete this quest.

Journey to any innkeeper across Skyrim and ask for their rumors. When you have full-fledged vampirism, you will learn that a mage named Falion in the Hold City of Morthal may be able to help you. Journey to Morthal and seek out Falion, who is wandering the streets or hanging out in his house. He asks you of your needs, and when you tell him you’re looking for a cure, he is surprised. For this to occur, it requires a filled Black Soul Gem, and for this you will need to kill someone.

Here are some of the best locations from which to bring a Black Soul Gem (exploration requires a thorough search of all chambers within):

• Falion: You can acquire one if you trade with him...for a price!
• Broken Fang Cave: in Whiterun Hold
• Hob’s Fall Cave: in Winterhold Hold
• Hjerim: a house in Windhelm that you can purchase
• Black Soul Gem

After you have a filled Black Soul Gem, return to Falion’s House and inform him of your item. He agrees to meet you at the summoning circle in the marsh at dawn. Only then shall you both banish the creature you have become.

Between 3:00 and 7:00 in the morning, your quest objective updates. Head north over the bridge and out of Morthal, going slightly northwest as you cross into the marsh. Falion stands on one of the small scrub islands within the marsh. Tell him you’re ready to start the ritual.

Quest Conclusion

After some ritual words are sounded, Falion successfully pulls the creature of the night from within your corporal form and sends it to Oblivion. After you come to, Falion walks away, back to help the inhabitants of Morthal. You find yourself cured of vampirism.
