[edit] Background

The Order of the Virtuous Blood is a minor faction with a base at the Temple District of the Imperial City, in the basement of Seridur's House. They are a vampire-hunting guild and will reward those who can bring proof (Vampire Dust) of their victorious battles against vampires. After completion of the quest, you will become a faction member.

Just go to the Temple District of the Imperial City, with a fame rating of more than five and you will be confronted by Ralsa Norvalo, who asks for you to come see her husband. Go to Seridur's house.

[edit] Quest Walkthrough

Seridur tells you about his group of vampire hunters called the Order of the Virtuous Blood. Basically, they kill vampires to cleanse Cyrodiil. Their first target is Roland Jenseric, whom Seridur claims to have seen bite a woman at night. Go to Roland's house and read the letter sitting on the table. You'll find the table on the entry floor, to your left as you come in. It has candles on it, so you can't miss it. The letter is resting on top of a book on that table. It refers to a cabin in the forest, which is at Roland Jenseric's Cabin, so Roland must be there.

Does a vampire live here...

Head to Roland's cabin in eastern Cyrodiil, slightly less than halfway to Cheydinhal from Imperial City. Enter and confront Roland. You can either kill him outright for 250 gold or listen to his story. If you listen, he tells you that Seridur is in fact the vampire. He saw his girlfriend get attacked by Seridur, while she was out on a walk. Roland further refers you to Phintias at First Edition in the Imperial City Market District if you want further proof of Seridur's outings. Talking to Phintias reveals that Seridur had mentioned a cave, Memorial Cave, located southeast of Imperial City.

Go to Memorial Cave and fight your way through various vampires and their undead minions. You may face any number of beasts, but remember to collect all Vampire Dust that you can. Deep in the cave, you will confront Seridur. Kill him and take his dust. Return to Roland with the news and he will tell you to meet him back in the basement of Seridur's house.
...or here?
Memorial Cave with Seridur's location

Meet him back in Seridur's basement, where he will reward you with the Ring of Sunfire, which resists disease and reflects spells. Also, Roland promises to give you 250 gold per portion of Vampire Dust you give him (he'll only accept it if it's from a vampire you killed) from that point forward within the game (except if you duplicate Vampire Dust, which he will accept, allowing for a quick way to make money). He does accept Vampire Dust collected before the undertaking of this quest.

You are now a "Brother" or "Sister" member of the faction.

[edit] Bug

If you do and you are a PC user, press "~" to open the console (see cheats), select the locked door, and type "unlock". Then press "~" again to close the console. Then restart the game and things should be as normal.

[edit] Quest Journal Entries

After you have been approached by Ralsa, but refuse to help her husband:

A Dunmer named Ralsa Norvalo has approached me in the Imperial City Temple District and asked me to meet her husband Gilen. I refused for now, and she told me if I change my mind, to come to her house where she'll fill me in on all of the details.

After you have been approached by Ralsa, but accept:

A Dunmer named Ralsa Norvalo has approached me, and said that her husband needs assistance in a matter of what she calls "the utmost importance to the safety of the citizens of the Imperial City". She told me to meet Gilen at the house of someone named Seridur. Apparently, all will be explained when I get there.

After speaking to Seridur for the first time:

Seridur has revealed to me that he's a member of a group of individuals dedicated to the destruction of vampires called The Order of the Virtuous Blood. Their goal is to keep the Imperial City safe from these creatures of the night. I should continue speaking to him and find out how I can assist them.

Once Seridur has asked you to kill Roland:

I've been told that Roland Jenseric here in the Temple District of the Imperial City is a vampire. The Order would like me to kill him.

Seridur's hint to find Roland:

To locate Roland Jenseric, Seridur suggested I search his home, which is also here in the Temple District.

After you have arrived at Rolands house in the Imperial City:

I've arrived at Roland Jenseric's house. I should begin to search the place for any clues as to his whereabouts.

Having found the letter addressed to Roland from his girlfriend:

After searching Roland's home, I've found a letter written to Roland from his girlfriend. It mentions a cabin where the two would meet. It's located east of the Imperial City in the Great Forest. I think this may be where Roland could be hiding. I should head out there immediately before he has a chance to escape.

Once you have reached Roland's cabin:

I've arrived at Roland's cabin. I should proceed inside to see if he's here. I should be cautious, as Seridur warned me that vampires could be very dangerous.

After speaking to Roland for the first time:

Roland Jenseric insists that he's not a vampire. In fact, he's accusing Seridur of being one instead! I should listen to what he has to say about Seridur and see if I can determine who's telling the truth.

Once Roland has explained the situation further:

Roland tells me that he thought his lover was having an affair, so he followed her one night on a walk. He came across Seridur draining the blood from her neck. Roland says he attacked Seridur, and in the chaos, Roland's lover was killed. Seridur got away. Knowing Selidur was a respected member of the Imperial City, he panicked and ran to the cabin here to collect his thoughts and decide what to do next. I need to decide what to do about this.

[edit] Option 1

If you choose to kill Roland:

I've slain Roland Jenseric. I should return to the Order and tell Seridur that my task is completed.

After reporting back to Seridur to finish the quest:

Seridur was pleased with me, and rewarded me with 250 gold. He said that I've done a great service for the Imperial City and I should be proud.

[edit] Option 2

If you choose not to kill Roland:

I've stayed my hand, and will let Roland live for now.

Upon speaking to Roland further:

I've decided to give Roland a chance, and will investigate his story. Roland told me that Seridur makes the occasional trip to the First Edition bookshop in the Market District of the Imperial City. He told me I should speak to the owner, Phintias.

After visiting the First Edition:

I've discovered that Seridur makes the occasional visit to a place called Memorial Cave. It's a burial site for many heroes that died in past wars. Seridur supposedly has a relative interred there. Perhaps I should go investigate.

Having entered Memorial Cave:

I've entered Memorial Cave. It's now being used as a vampire den. I need to see if I can find Seridur in here and put a stop to his charade.

Upon the death of Seridur:

I've slain Seridur. I should return immediately to Roland's cabin and give him the news.

Once you have talked to Roland at his cabin again:

I've returned to Roland's cabin and told him what had transpired. He thanked me for clearing his name, and vowed to take Seridur's place to continue the Order of the Virtuous Blood. He said I should meet him there for a reward.

Back at Seridur's House:

I've returned to Seridur's home, which the Order still uses to meet. Roland was there, and he told me I was now an honorary member of their group. He also bestowed an enchanted ring on me to help me in my future encounters with vampires.

If one of the characters in the quest dies:

One of the characters needed to complete this quest has died.
