Repairing the Castle*

Now that you lead the vampires in Castle Volkihar, you can go about refurbishing this grand dwelling. Aside from the bedroom that you gain (Lord Harkon won’t be needing it anymore), you can also speak with Garan Marethi and request that he clear the rubble from the passage that connects the keep to the courtyard (where the moondial is located). This allows for faster travel through the castle, although the fastest way to reach the Soul Cairn is still to Fast-Travel to the balcony, then step into Valerica’s Laboratory from there.
