“I was sealed away to protect the realm... and to escape my father’s madness.”

Deep beneath the frosted stone of Skyrim lies Dimhollow Crypt, the forgotten resting place of Serana—a pure-blood vampire born of Coldharbour's dark blessing.

Hidden away for ages alongside an Elder Scroll to prevent Lord Harkon from fulfilling his desperate prophecy, she awaited a day that seemed destined never to come. Seeking the cause of the rising vampire scourge on behalf of the Dawnguard, the Dragonborn uncovers the crypt’s inner sanctum.

But as the ancient mechanism aligns, the tomb parts not for dead stone, but for an immortal noble waking from an eternity of isolation.

Note: Heavy Daddy Issues, deep-sealed trauma, slow-burn, intense insecurity regarding physical/emotional intimacy due to her past.
