Turn the target into a vampire. Quest Giver: Vingalmo Prerequisite Quest: The Bloodstone Chalice ID: DLC1RV07

Radiant Options

• Valindor (Riften)
• Cairine (Markarth)
• Haran (Winterhold)

Detailed Walkthrough

New Allegiances is a quest given by Vingalmo. He asks you to turn someone into a vampire. He suggests casting Vampire's Seduction (which requires that you be at least a stage 2 vampire, i.e. have not fed for at least a day) to facilitate feeding on a waking subject; however, if you can catch the target sleeping, you can infect them by normal feeding.

Notes

• If you are having trouble giving Harkon's gift to Haran, simply wait until 2 a.m. and she will be sleeping in the Frozen Hearth Cellar where no witnesses will see you.

Bugs

• The quest giver may ask you to infect the same person if you have done this quest before. They cannot be turned into a vampire again.
  • This bug is fixed by version 1.1.1 of the Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.
  • One fix to this bug is to kill the already infected vampire. It marks the quest as "failed" but still completes it.
  • Another fix is to load a previous save from before accepting the quest and try again, as they may not give the same quest.
• After biting the target your character may not be able to move, and you will not be able to complete the quest.
  • Reload from last autosave (should be from when you walk in) and feed from sneak mode.
• You may be unable to feed on Cairine (likely due to her sitting animation).
  • One solution is to select her via the console (or by typing prid D6702) and enter the command resurrect 1, which should force her to stand temporarily. Once you close the console, immediately use your Vampire Seduction on her and rapidly press the activation/talk button, which should then allow you to access the feed option. Optionally, you may wish to toggle nearby Garvey's detection by selecting him in the console and typing tdetect.
• After feeding on Cairine, the quest may not update and the quest marker will continue to point at her as if you have yet to feed.
• Vingalmo may not interact with you at all, even though everyone will keep telling you to speak to him. ^?

Quest Stages

New Allegiances (DLC1RV07)
Stage	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
10		<Alias=QuestGiver> has sent me to <Alias=Habitation> where I am to find <Alias=Candidate> and bestow the Gift of Blood upon <Alias.PronounObj=Candidate>. I should first render <Alias.PronounObj=Candidate> pliant through the use of Vampire's Seduction then embrace and bite <Alias.PronounObj=Candidate> on the neck. If I currently lack the power, I should forego feeding for a day as I will gain the ability. I should then return to <Alias=QuestGiver> while <Alias=Candidate> undergoes the change. (Objective is assigned): Turn <Alias=Candidate> into a vampire
100		(Objective is assigned): Return to <Alias=QuestGiver>

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage DLC1RV07 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest DLC1RV07.
