In Which Faanshi Finds the Location of Auriel’s Bow and a Lot of Schematics
I had thought I was going to proceed onward to Forgotten Vale in this session, once I got the location of Auriel’s Bow in Ancestor Glade. I was mistaken! Instead, I ran the rest of Sorine’s “find me a schematic” quests.

In Which Faanshi Escapes the Soul Cairn
As expected, it took me an entire session to run the rest of the Soul Cairn. Because not only is there just that much to do in it, I was considerably slowed down by being overloaded!

In Which Faanshi Quests Through Castle Volkihar and the Soul Cairn
We’re now reaching my favorite parts of Dawnguard in Faanshi’s playthrough! In this double session post, I got her to Castle Volkihar with Serana, and into the Soul Cairn to look for Serana’s mother Valerica–and many of the other fun things in the Soul Cairn as well.

In Which Faanshi Rescues a Moth Priest
Moving on through the Dawnguard plotline, to the point where I rescued Dexion Evicus!

In Which Ysani Slays Lord Harkon at Castle Volkihar
This post is for play done on the night of Friday 4/1! Main action here was the attack on Castle Volkihar, wherein the Dawnguard slew Lord Harkon. Like they do. And with a refreshing after-dinner mint of getting Valerica out of the Soul Cairn!

In Which Ysani Finds Auriel’s Bow
This is another double session post, covering play done on Wednesday 3/29 and Thursday 3/30. Put these two sessions together, because both of them together basically were the entire run of Forgotten Vale this time through! And since this is now the fourth time I’ve run Forgotten Vale, individual sessions in it didn’t quite have enough new material for a single session to stand on its own.

In Which Ysani Begins the Hunt for Auriel’s Bow
This is a double session post again, covering play from Monday 3/28 and Tuesday 3/29. Main action: going to Ancestor Glade, and from there to Darkfall Cave to begin the hunt for Auriel’s Bow!

In Which Ysani Recovers Another Schematic
This was a short Sunday night session, and mostly just featured buying a bunch of spellbooks and getting another schematic recovered for Sorine.

In Which Ysani Helps Repair the White Phial and Rescues Florentius
See subject for the two main bits of action in this session: fetching the ingredients that let Quintus repair the White Phial in the last-ditch attempt to heal his master Nurelion, and then finding and rescuing Florentius from Ruunvald for the Dawnguard!
