Quest-Related Events

The Bloodstone Chalice

During The Bloodstone Chalice, you will be sent to fill the eponymous chalice from the Bloodspring at Redwater Den. After doing so, Salonia and another vampire, Stalf, will appear. They will claim that Harkon sent them, though their dialogue will indicate that they were sent by Vingalmo and Orthjolf:

Salonia: "It's really too bad, you know. The little accident you had here, completely unexpected..."

Stalf: "Yeah, too bad. Lord Harkon's new favorite, dead so soon after joining the family."

Salonia: "We're just lucky I was here to return the Chalice to Vingalmo, so he could make sure Harkon gets it back."

Stalf: "Wait, what? That's not what we agreed. We take it back together."

Salonia: "Idiot. You didn't really think I'd let you walk out of here either, did you? Vingalmo wants you both dead."

Stalf: "Well that's just fine. Orthjolf told me to finish off anyone who got in the way."

They will become hostile at this point and attack you and each other.

Notes

• In the Prima Official Game Guide, the summary for her reads:

"Salonia won't talk about her past — her life before becoming a vampire. There are rumors that maybe she was part of the Penitus Oculatus, maybe an assassin... Whatever it was, it wasn't pretty. No one in the court trusts her, especially due to her allegiance to Vingalmo. It's suspected that her presence is a response to Stalf, Vingalmo's answer to Orthjolf's apparent attempt to gain support by stacking the court."

• The guide mistakenly refers to her under the name "Salonia Viria". An NPC with this name did previously appear in the series, in Oblivion's Shivering Isles DLC, and may be the cause for the error.
