A grand fireplace decorated with banners and animal skulls sits to the side of the large dining table. The rectangular room is littered with general clutter and barrels of food. The large balcony is to the left, and left again. When standing in the middle of the circle facing away from the main entrance, the second floor is to the right, the small balcony is another right. Straight ahead is a hallway that leads to all the major ground floor rooms in the fort. The floor consists of weathered cobblestone and decorative slabs that line the edges of two curved iron grates. Eight banners adorn the walls displaying the symbol of the Dawnguard. The main lobby is a large circular area littered with barrels and crates. The inside of the fort itself has an arched theme to it, from the ceiling to the blind arches on the walls.
The tall arched hallways are supported by huge, decorative rectangular pillars. The masonry work inside the fort is not only very precise but the stone surfaces have the appearance of a slight shine to them. Internally, Fort Dawnguard features castle-like architecture in a state of disrepair.įort Dawnguard has the appearance of a large castle with several towers. Isran came and repaired the fort in the Fourth Era, which he then used as the headquarters of the new Dawnguard. Įither way, the fort fell into a state of disrepair and was eventually abandoned. They were said to have preyed on the people of the Rift until they were hunted down. Other accounts claim that the Dawnguard, seeing the immense power that being a vampire gave, decided to become vampires themselves. They later continued their work as vampire hunters, until they broke up, as people increasingly disregarded the threat of vampires, weakening the power of the Dawnguard.
Some believe the Dawnguard were forced to put down the Jarl's son, in doing so they were banished from the hold and officially disbanded. Historical accounts vary on the years that followed. The Jarl refused to kill his own son, so instead commissioned the construction of the fort and contracted a large mercenary force, named the "Dawnguard," in order to keep his son quarantined. The Jarl's son, through his overly confident and adventurous pursuits, contracted vampirism. The fort dates back to at least the Second Era, when it was built by the Jarl of Riften.
