Quick mod pitch: The vanilla routine where an aspiring Volkihar Lord has to pretend to join the Dawnguard just to find Serana has always felt clunky.

​I daydreamed about a small alternative start plugin where Sybille Stentor initiates the Volkihar path:

​Skip Fort Dawnguard and Isran's recruitment pitch entirely.

​Receive your lead on Dimhollow Crypt directly through vampire court channels in Solitude.

​Awaken Serana as a Pro-Vampire Volkihar asset from the get go.

Plus let Sybille Stentor say why the Vigilants in Srendarr were fools for declaring war against every daedra cult across Nirn. They act like they are vast like the Imperial Army or the Storm Cloaks. If the Vigilants were smart they should of aligned with folks like the "Silver Hand."

Bad enough the Vigilants of Stendar would accuse Y'ffre of being a Namira cult. Wood elves commit cannablism on their fallen foes.

This all ​keeps the questline lore-friendly, sensible, and built specifically for true nightwalkers. Plus I don't feel like a douche for going "yay! I am a vampire hunter" who immediately goes "Yay! I am a Vampire."

Yay or Nay?

as long as it is lich compatible; Guest of Volkihar has a permanent spot in my list and i think they'd want a lich on their side

Genius idea! If you decide to make this mod, would you give Sybille Stentor a completely new voice, like you did for Serana and Valerica? Either way, this idea is brilliant!

Fully. All i will be doing is adding dialogue and a MyQuest.Start() :) Basically via dialogue just straight up fires up the Quest DLC1VQ01 and sets the Stage to 10. Will also set the stage of DLC1VQ00 to 10 and DLC1VQ01MiscObjective to 180. I like clean and simple.

I can make one for Sybille Stentor. I have one for Hestla. :)

I think it’s great. Sybille Stentor should’ve been part of the dawnguard DLC to begin with in my opinion. Not sure why Bethesda didnt take advantage of a Vampire noble in Solitudes court but thankfully we have modders :)

Great for Roleplay, A Wannabe Vampire wouldn't Join a Hunting Organization.

To completely mix metaphors: "Make it so..."

Randy Hill

This sounds perfect, but could it also address the comments from Harkon and Valerica that refer to the player as a "Vampire Hunter"? The comments from those two really ruin immersion when I play as a vampire from the start...

Great idea. I've used alternate starts that skipped past Dimhollow straight to Volk or the fort. This sound much more fun. And I'd love more stories with Sybille.

The real story of the game is that there are so many missed opportunities.
