A question regarding vampires and Sithis : IV

» Fri Jan 25, 2013 8:23 pm

So I finally decided to go and check out Deepscorn Hollow for the first time. Mind you, my character is a Dark Brotherhood assassin and a vampire, so I found the whole place to be appropriate (though the Sithis shrine scared the [censored] out of me the first time going in that room). Can't wait to get the whole place furnished (will have to sell quite a bit of my things..).

So I read through the journal at the entrance, and a paragraph really caught my attention:

All along, I was mistaken. All along, I was the blight upon Sithis and his dark name. Tonight, he spoke to me and again, and I learned of his displeasure. Again, I heard no words, but I knew the meaning. I was meant to take blood, to spill blood... but never to taste blood. My sanguine ways have offended my lord! I must cleanse myself of this filth. I must find a way

So.. Did I miss something, or is Sithis offended by vampirism? Is it "wrong" to be a vampire and a DB assassin who serves Sithis? There is Vicente Valtieri, and he doesn't seem to be worried about it..

Or maybe I've completely missed the point, and Greywyn was just crazy..

You should probably ask that question over in the lore forum.

I don't remember having ever heard of Sithis hating vampires, if Sithis is a personality that could hate at all.
Vampires are said to be a creation of Molag Bal, so probably drinking blood is a service to him, and souls of people that are turned to vampires are given to Molag Bal instead of Sithis.

Oh you're right, I don't know why I didn't think of the lore forum -.-" Hopefully someone will move it in a bit..
