Take this information to the Jarl in Highmoon Hall. He enslaved Alva and used her to turn some of the residents of Morthal into vampires while keeping the others around as a fresh blood supply. > The journal reveals the whole plot about a Master Vampire named 'Movarth' who lives in a cave near Morthal. Either way find Alva's journal in the basement and read it, SAVE. > Find Alva's house on the east side of town, if you break in during the night Hroggar may be inside and you will have to sneak past him or kill him, if you break in during the day Alva will be inside and you may have to kill her instead. You must find proof of Alva and Laelette's vampirism. > After this Laelette's husband 'Thonnir' will arrive, he is very upset at his wife's death and he doesn't believe your story. Helgi reveals that Laelette was actually forced to set the fire, and in her regret she attempted to save Helgi by turning her into a vampire, unfortunately it was too and she died. > Before you reach Helgi you'll come fact-to-face with a vampire called 'Laelette', kill her, make sure to SAVE then talk to Helgi immediately to prevent a bug. You will have to wait until it's dark, after 8pm and a quest marker should appear to find Helgi again.

> Return to the Jarl and tell her about Helgi, SAVE. She wants you to play hide and seek with her, and if you find her before a certain someone else that she is afraid to name, she will reveal who set the fire. > Return to the burned house again and speak to the ghost of Hroggar's daughter 'Helgi'. The Jarl is suspicious of Hroggar since he shacked up with a local Nord woman named 'Alva' the very next day. The house belonged to a Nord lumberjack called 'Hroggar', it burned down recently killing his wife and child. > Find the burned down house on the west side of Morthal to add a conversation starter to the game, then go into the 'Highmoon Hall' and speak to the Jarl about it.
