Quest Complete

As [bloodfather] dies, you feel the curse of vampirism lift from your soul. You are no longer a vampire.

Rumors During Quest

[hunter] is leading a new crusade against vampires through [the region] soon. Maybe then we'll be able to walk the streets at night again without fear.

Rumors Postfailure

[hunter] and [his/her] men killed a lot of vampires in [the region], but I doubt they got them all.

[hunter] should have left well enough alone. [His/her] crusades just send the vampires into hiding, and when [he/she] leaves, they come back stronger than ever.

Message 1011

[hunter] searches out and destroys vampires all across Tamriel.

[hunter] has devoted [his/her] life to hunting vampires.

Message 1012

They say that [hunter]'s own father was killed by vampires. That's what drove [him/her] to [his/her] fanatical hatred of them.

[hunter] killed [his/her] own father after he became a vampire. Now that's what I call a true zealot!

Message 1020

[the quest date] Dear [your name] of [your vampire clan], Let me introduce myself. I am [hunter]. You may have heard of me -- the renowned vampire hunter? Do not be hasty in your judgment of me, however. I am not your enemy, at least not yet. While I abhor vampirism with a passion, and have devoted my life to stamping out this dark plague from Tamriel, I understand that many are innocent victims like yourself. The will to live is not of itself evil, and I always try to offer my quarry one chance to prove that their bloody work is based on necessity, not love for killing. I am sure that your "kinfolk" have not told you this, but vampirism can be cured. To do so, you must kill your "bloodfather", the ancient evil that created the line of vampires leading to you. In doing so, you will not only free yourself, but rid [the region] of a cancer at its heart. (continued) I myself do not know where to find your "bloodfather," but my sources have revealed the name of one high in [your vampire clan] who should have this information, [vamp1] of [vamp1's place]. I will wait [huntstart] days before moving against the vampires of [the region], to give you a chance to save yourself. Consider my offer well, [your name]. You have [huntstart] days, then you and the rest of [your vampire clan] will be hunted down like vermin. [hunter]

Message 1021

Do you want to show [vamp1] the letter from [hunter]?

Message 1022

You have done well to bring this to me, [your name]. [hunter] has been the bane of [your vampire clan] for years. With this advance warning, we can save the lives of many of our kinfolk. Do not underestimate the danger you are in, [your first name]. [hunter] is ruthless and competent, and [his/her] spies are everywhere. [He/she] would make an excellent addition to [your vampire clan] -- perhaps [he/she] will yet. Be that as it may, [he/she] knows your name, and do not doubt that [he/she] will attempt to make good on [his/her] threat. May the night keep you safe.

Message 1023

[your name], isn't it? I have heard good things about you from the rest of [your vampire clan]. So, you want to find your bloodfather. An understandable urge, although this is a privilege not usually granted to one of your youth. However, you have made such progress in [your vampire clan] already, I believe I can make an exception. Let me see, he must be either [elder] or [bloodfather]. You can find them at [wrongdung's place] and [fatherdung's place], respectively. I would advise against intruding on an elder's seclusion lightly, however. It would be best if you looked up [vamp2] of [vamp2's place]. [He/she] is the Keeper of the Bloodline, and will be able to tell you with certainty which of [your vampire clan] elders is your bloodfather. Take this bracelet to [him/her] so [he/she] will know I sent you.

Message 1024

Hmph. You are very young to be entrusted with such information. However, since you carry [vamp1]'s token, I will reveal to you where your bloodfather, [bloodfather], resides. You will find him in his lair in [fatherdung's place]. Be aware that at this time of year, the elders do not like to be disturbed by anyone. Intrude upon [bloodfather]'s solitude at your peril.

Message 1025

Bloodtraitor! We have learned of your treachery. You will never find [bloodfather], although your days as one of [your vampire clan] are about to end, do not worry. [hunter] will not need to hunt you down.

Message 1030

Stripling, do not disturb my meditations! Begone, or my hunger will force me to slay you!

Message 1031

You have slain [elder], Elder of [your vampire clan].

Message 1032

[your name], your blood calls to me. Why do you strike your own father? [your vampire clan] punishes patricide with death. Do not force me to carry out this sentence myself. Flee, my child!

Message 1040

[hunter] said I'd find you here. Die, nightstalker!

Quest Time Lapse

An unfamiliar object in your pack catches your eye. It is a letter, addressed to you in an elegant flowing script. How did that get there?

Message 1050

[the quest date]: The vampire hunter [hunter] has sent me a letter vowing to hunt me down unless I cure myself of vampirism by killing my bloodfather. [hunter] does not know who or where my bloodfather is, but [he/she] suggested that [vamp1] of [vamp1's place] might know. I have [huntstart] days before the vampire hunt begins. -moved vamp1 line down, was running outside journal boundaries

Message 1051

[the quest date]: [vamp1] believes that my bloodfather lives either in [wrongdung's place] or [fatherdung's place], but advised that I take [his/her] bracelet to [vamp2] of [vamp2's town], [vamp2's place], who can tell me for sure where to find him.

Message 1052

[the quest date]: [vamp2] told me that my bloodfather's name is [bloodfather], and that he lives in [fatherdung's place]. -- Symbols used in the QRC file: -- -- [he/she] occurs 14 times. -- [him/her] occurs 4 times. -- [his/her] occurs 11 times. -- [your first name] occurs 1 time. -- [your name] occurs 6 times. -- [the quest date] occurs 7 times. -- [the region] occurs 112 times. -- [your vampire clan] occurs 22 times. -- [bloodfather] occurs 7 times. -- [elder] occurs 2 times. -- [huntstart] occurs 3 times. -- [fatherdung's place] occurs 6 times. -- [vamp1's place] occurs 2 times. -- [vamp2's place] occurs 2 times. -- [wrongdung's place] occurs 2 times. -- [vamp2's town] occurs 1 time. -- [hunter] occurs 19 times. -- [vamp1] occurs 5 times. -- [vamp2] occurs 3 times.
