Entry 32: Frost Fall 5, 3E433

After a few hours of rest at the The All Saints Inn, I departed the Imperial City. After a few hours time, I arrived at the cabin. With my hand wrapped around the hilt of my blade, I entered. Inside, I found Roland Jenseric and immediately I took my hand off my blade. From his appearance, I could tell that Roland was not a vampire at all.

Roland went on to explain what happened the night that his girlfriend was murdered. Roland claimed that Seridur was a vampire and it was he who had fed on and murdered Relfina. After hearing this, I was shocked. I had been in the very presence of Seridur and had not noticed anything unusual about him.

I agreed to investigate Roland’s claim that Seridur was responsible for all of this, so I left the cabin and returned to the Imperial City. There I checked out a few locations that Roland had mentioned. After bribing Phintias, the proprietor of the First Edition, he told me that Seridur frequently visited a cemetery to pay his respects to a departed family member.

I asked about this cemetery and Phintias said that it was an underground cemetery located in a cave known as Memorial Cave, located to the east of the city along the shore of Lake Rumare. Leaving the city, I immediately ran there. Within an hour, I reached my destination.

Darkness had fallen now making this mission all the more dangerous. I entered the cave and found rats, several mutilated corpses, ghosts, Liches, and ten vampires. In the deepest recesses of the cave, I found Seridur waiting for me. I confronted him and he confessed to his wicked ways.

Even then, Seridur did not appear to be a vampire. And then I knew why that might have been. Many vampires are capable of being very persuasive and I may have been under his influence. But now—now I wasn’t. Now my eyes saw through the fog of lies and deceit.

Seridur made a feeble attempt to attack me, but I struck him down before the wicked High Elf even drew his sword. Seridur felt the sting of Arkay’s Spirited Will, an enchanted sword that I myself made.

With the vampires slain, I had to rest for I have again been infected with the disease Porphyric Hemophilia. Using a cure disease potion, I saved myself from the grip of vampirism. Having saved myself and cured my wounds, I returned to Roland’s cabin and informed him of Seridur’s demise.

Roland thanked me and asked that I return to meet with the Order as they wished to speak with me again. So I made my way back to the Imperial City where I met with the Order. I was made an official member of the Order and I was given an enchanted ring called the Ring of Sunfire.
