I think i've run into a game breaker without even knowing it yesterday. When I was cleansing those stones i think Deor and Fanari were at the Wind Stone and probably died from the Lurker fight. I see neither of them in town and Baldor remains at the Skaal Village forge. Bethesda WHY did you even bother putting important NPCs in danger at the Wind Stone?? Now i am even afraid to install Dawnguard, knowing I will have to face vampires killing numerous NPCs in Skyrim...

There is no solution to this problem, I cannot revert save because i never kept a seperate save from before starting DB questline; i never expected anything as dumb as this to happen. Only way would be for Bethesda to ressurect all important quest NPCs in their next patch but i highly doubt they will do that for us.

From the looks of things now I'm gonna take a big guess and assume I can't make Stahlrim armour now, right?

EDIT: sorry i didn't know whether to put this in the spoilers or bugs section. its kinda both.
