Order Of The Virtuous Blood Quest Guide And Completion Steps

Navigating the bustling streets of the Imperial City Temple District in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion often leads to unexpected side quests and secretive factions. One of the most engaging side missions is the Order of the Virtuous Blood quest, which plunges players into a dark mystery involving deception and vampire hunting. Understanding how to properly investigate clues and eliminate the true threat ensures you gain valuable rewards and membership in Cyrodiil's premier anti-vampire order.

Starting the Investigation in the Imperial City

To initiate the quest, your character must have a Fame score of five or higher before exploring the Imperial City Temple District. A woman named Ralsa Norvalo will eventually approach you to request assistance on behalf of her husband. Following her instructions leads you to Seridur's House, where you meet a secret society dedicated to eradicating vampires across the realm.

Uncovering Deception at Roland Jenseric's Cabin

Seridur claims that Roland Jenseric is a bloodthirsty creature preying on local citizens and directs you to eliminate him. Upon breaking into Roland's cabin, you will find a hidden note on a table that reveals a drastically different side to the story. Locating Roland at his secluded cabin outside the city allows you to hear his perspective, exposing Seridur as the actual vampire mastermind behind the deceit.

Clearing Memorial Cave and Confronting Seridur

Once you agree to help Roland clear his name, track Seridur down to his true lair located inside Memorial Cave. The cavern is heavily infested with hostile undead creatures, requiring careful preparation and sharp weapons before entering combat. Clearing out the cave and defeating Seridur updates your journal, confirming that the threat to the Imperial City has been neutralised.

Quest Rewards and Faction Benefits

Returning to Roland allows him to reorganize the faction and grant you honorary membership. You will receive the Ring of Sunfire as a unique magical reward for completing the main objectives. Furthermore, the order offers a permanent repeatable bounty where you can turn in gathered vampire dust for substantial amounts of gold.
