## Resource

Two Skyrim expansion story overviews in one episode. Watch Dawnguard: https://youtu.be/k-FEFvAcT44 Watch Dragonborn: https://youtu.be/3wKIrE8yjLU --- Dawnguard --- Skyrim's Dawnguard pits rebuilt vampire hunters against Lord Harkon's Volkihar clan and the Tyranny of the Sun: a prophecy to blot out daylight forever. Serana, Elder Scrolls, the Soul Cairn, and Auriel's Bow lead to a final stand at Castle Volkihar. In this Elder Scrolls & Philosophy story overview, Dr. Andrew Snyder traces Dimhollow Crypt through Ancestor Glade and the Forgotten Vale as the Dragonborn chooses the Dawnguard's light over vampire-lord immortality and ends Harkon's dream of eternal night.

All-Maker stones enslave the Skaal; Black Books open Apocrypha; Hermaeus Mora bargains as the first Dragonborn steals souls and claims the title. In this Elder Scrolls & Philosophy story overview, Dr. Andrew Snyder traces Raven Rock through Miraak's temple, Neloth's Black Book hunt, and Storn's sacrifice to the duel where the seeker of knowledge is consumed by it, leaving Solstheim free.
