Lycanthropy & Vampirism

• Lycanthropy — A description of the added features of Lycanthropy.
• Vampire Lord — A description of the new features added with the Vampire Lord form.
  • With the addition of Vampire Lords, Skyrim's NPCs will no longer react with hostility toward any regular vampires, only toward Vampire Lords.

If the player is a werewolf and becomes a Vampire Lord, the player's lycanthropy will be cured. Later, however, the player can give up being a Vampire Lord and return to being a werewolf if desired.
