Dawnguard (Faction)

The Dawnguard is a faction in. The Dawnguard are an ancient order of vampire hunters, once retired but recently revived by Isran, a former Vigilant of Stendarr, now dedicated to eradicating Vampires. Fort Dawnguard serves as their headquarters and can only be accessed via Dayspring Canyon located in the snowy mists, east of Riften, near Stendarr's Beacon.

Equipment
Crossbows are the trademark weapons of the Dawnguard. Members of the order typically wear Dawnguard Armor that is available in both heavy and light armor variants.

Interactions
The Dragonborn is given the choice to join the Dawnguard in order to battle Lord Harkon and his minions.

The unique benefits of joining the Dawnguard include full access to Fort Dawnguard, various new weapons and armor to fight vampires, including crossbows. Furthermore, Dawnguard members can also "hire" Armored Trolls which serve as temporary followers.

If the Dragonborn becomes a Vampire Lord, then they will appear at random sometimes and attack them. Conversely, if the Dragonborn is a werewolf, they can have interactions with the Dawnguard in a hostile sense when in Beast Form, just as everyone else in the world does. Also, most of the quests are the same in the Volkihar questline, including entering the Soul Cairn, which has the same quest group regardless of the Dragonborn's alignment.
