Hall of the Vigilant is a small dwelling that is the headquarters for the Vigilants of Stendarr in Skyrim.
Location[]
- "The hall was a place of respite, learning and comradship, were a road-weary brother or sister could rest for a time in peace and comfort."
- ―Vigilant Tolan[src]
This isolated building is located south of Red Road Pass which is south of Dawnstar. It serves as a home for the Vigilants of Stendarr and their leader, Keeper Carcette. It is also not far from Dimhollow Crypt, which is up a small pathway to the west. Inside, the Hall looks like a cross between an inn and a small place of worship.
Destruction[]
The occupants of the hall are wiped out by vampires before the initiation of the Dawnguard quest, "Dawnguard." The Hall itself is partially destroyed and is littered with the corpses of Vigilants of Stendarr. However, it appears that the Vigilants (despite Isran's belief that they were weak) put up a considerable fight, as three death hounds and several Volkihar vampires lie scattered both inside and outside the ruined Hall. Keeper Carcette is reported to have been killed in the assault, but there is no sign of her body anywhere in the ruins. Many of the crafting stations are destroyed as well.
Facilities[]
- Two alchemy labs inside, one in the main hall and one in a smaller side-room. Not available after the vampire attack.
- Tanning rack, outside. Not available after the vampire attack.
- Wood chopping block, outside.
Notable items[]
- Daedra heart – On the table in the main hall. Not available after the vampire attack.
- The Knights of the Nine (Heavy Armor skill book) – On a table in the corner of the basement. Not accessible after the vampire attack as there is no longer an interior to the building.
- The Aetherium Wars – Near a dead vigilant after the vampire attack.

Trivia[]
- There are 4 barrels in the main hall, but the items inside them will not be considered "stolen" if taken. There is one in the basement room as well, but the items inside it will be considered "stolen" if taken.
- There are 3 rooms in the main hall with beds inside. Everything from the rooms will be considered "stolen" if taken, but the beds can be slept in, as they are not considered "owned."
- There is a path to the west leading up to Dimhollow Crypt.
- The basement of the Hall disappears with the installation of the Dawnguard DLC.
- If Dawnguard has been installed, the slain vampires will retain their voice clips if they are re-animated.
- Even if the Hall is destroyed, the wood chopping block outside will remain unscathed and fully functional.
- If Dawnguard is installed, the quest "Dawnguard" will not be triggered automatically, meaning that if the Hall is visited prior to then, it will remain unscathed and fully functional. Talking to Hold Guards will not trigger the quest until the Dragonborn is at least Level 10 or higher. Even at Level 10 and above, it won't trigger until a guard is spoken to.
Bugs[]
|
This section contains bugs related to Hall of the Vigilant. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
|
- Loading a save made in the cellar of the hall after installing Dawnguard will corrupt that save and/or cause severe errors due to the area being broken by the DLC. It will be locked with no way out or in after it is installed.
- Even after the destruction of the Hall, Vigilants of Stendarr may still tell the Dragonborn its location, as well as saying that Keeper Carcette runs it even though she is already dead by then.
