A New Order is a quest in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard. Serving as the fourth quest in the main storyline, "A New Order" begins with a vampire attack on Fort Dawnguard. This quest is only available if the Dawnguard side was chosen during "Bloodline" by refusing Harkon's offer to become a Vampire Lord.
Walkthrough[]
Upon returning to Fort Dawnguard, several vampires attack the stronghold, but are engaged by Durak, Celann, Isran, and Vori, who easily take them down with little trouble thanks to their weapons and spells designed towards harming vampires. After the battle, Isran asks the Dragonborn to recruit a Nord named Gunmar and a Breton named Sorine Jurard to help the cause.
Recruit Gunmar[]
Gunmar can be found at a radiant location. He says he's been hunting a bear for two weeks and he first wants to kill the animal to stop it from killing people. After helping him kill the bear, he'll head to Fort Dawnguard to see why Isran needs his help.
Recruit Sorine Jurard[]
Sorine can be found west of Druadach Redoubt and south of Darkfall Cave near a Dwemer ruin. She initially complains that she has lost her satchel of Dwemer gyros and requires one before she agrees to leave.
Sorine's Satchel containing seven Dwemer gyros can be found near the unmarked location Dwemer Ruins: Druadach, on the river bank nearby, about three paces south east towards the river near a tree rooted in the rock. Alternatively, any Dwemer gyro collected prior to meeting her will suffice. With a high enough Speech level, she can also be persuaded to go immediately to Fort Dawnguard.
Return[]
After arriving at Fort Dawnguard, Isran tests both newcomers for vampirism by shining a beam of sunlight into the center of the entrance hall.
Gunmar: "All right Isran, you've got us all here. Now what do you want?" Isran: "Hold it right there." Sorine: "What are you doing?" Isran: "Making sure you're not vampires. Can't be too careful. So, welcome to Fort Dawnguard. I'm sure you've heard a bit of what we're up against. Powerful vampires, unlike anything we've seen before. And they have an Elder Scroll. If anyone is going to stand in their way, it's going to be us." Sorine: "This is all well and good, but do we actually know anything about what they're doing? What do we do now?" Isran: "We'll get to that. For now, get acquainted with the space. Sorine, you'll find room to start your tinkering on that crossbow design you've been working on. Gunmar, there's an area large enough for you to pen up some trolls, get them armored up and ready for use. In the meantime, we're going to get to the bottom of why a vampire showed up here looking for you. Let's go have a little chat with it, shall we?"
If the Dragonborn is a vampire, he won't grant membership until the vampirism has been cured and will suggest that Falion in Morthal is visited. This begins the quest "Rising at Dawn."
He tells Gunmar and Sorine about the current situation after clearing them. He will then summon the Dragonborn upstairs. The quest completes and the next quest, "Prophet," begins. Sorine and Gunmar will be available as master trainers in Archery and Smithing, respectively. The next time the interior of Fort Dawnguard is visited, Sorine and Gunmar will have changed into Dawnguard armor and opened up their shops as the general goods and blacksmith merchants, respectively. A blacksmith forge and arcane enchanter also are added to the area where the smelter is found, and armored trolls start appearing in the pen across from the smelter. Exiting to Dayspring Canyon (including all 3 balconies) and re-entering from there is sufficient.

Trivia[]
- If the Dragonborn is a vampire, Isran will stop his speech and tell them to cure themselves before they do anything else. Sorine and Gunmar will wait in the main hall until Rising at Dawn is completed.
- During the quest, the Dragonborn can freely roam inside Castle Volkihar without danger to themselves. Feran Sadri, Hestla, and Ronthil can be bartered with, and Ronthil and Fura Bloodmouth can be asked for training. However, the portcullis will be down, and the Dragonborn will have to clip through it or the diagonal walls around it to gain access. In addition, everything inside will be owned by the castle, and must be stolen. To add insult to injury, everyone inside will be hostile once the quest is completed.
