Ancient Power

Quest Giver: Feran Sadri. This quest can occur more than once.

Feran Sadri has been performing a little research on the Bloodstone Chalice you filled during Dawnguard Main Quest: The Bloodstone Chalice. He believes its salutary effects can be prolonged if it is infused with potent vampiric power. To this end, he’s located the petrified remains of an elder vampire. You are to bring these remains to him.

Locate the place Feran Sadri has mentioned, and explore it thoroughly until you reach the body part you’re searching for. It is usually inside a treasure chest, deep in the dungeon. Claim these gruesome (and desiccated) remains.

• Ancient Vampire [body part]

Quest Conclusion

When you return to Castle Volkihar, Feran Sadri tells you he’ll make the necessary preparations for the infusion into the Chalice. You’re then rewarded.

• Leveled Weapon or Item
• Blood Potion (small chance)

Postquest Activities

You may now speak with another resident of Castle Volkihar and take on a new Faction Quest. In addition, you can return to the Bloodstone Chalice and drink from it. When you complete this Faction Quest, you receive the Blood of the Ancients ability (which causes your Vampiric Drain to absorb Magicka and Stamina), and the duration of this ability grows each time you complete this quest. So try to find as many body parts as Feran Sadri allows you to!
