Greywyn ' s Journal Summary . Greywyn was a Vampiric member of the Dark Brotherhood and leader of the " " Crimson Scars " , " a sub - faction comprised of Vampires within the Brotherhood who believed that Sithis wanted to see the Dark Brotherhood purged of its " pureblood " members . The Crimson Scars were betrayed by a Vampire named Silarian , then attacked and nearly obliterated by the rest of the Brotherhood as they slept . Greywyn and Rowley Eardwulf were the only two mentioned survivors . Greywyn retreated to Deepscorn Hollow , where he constructed the Font of Renewal to rid the Curse of Vampirism from his body . He was killed just before curing himself by Brotherhood Assassins who finally tracked him down . Greywyn ' s Journal . Turdas 18 Rain ' s Hand 3E 421 . Sithis speaks to me . He does not use words but I can hear his voice . Echoes of darkness spring from his lips and tell me what I must do . The Dark Brotherhood must be purged of its clean - blooded vermin and a new order must take the reins . The time is nigh for the vampire to claim his rightful place as the true Hands of Sithis . I have secured the help of many of my kin , and soon , we shall spread like a cold fog through the ranks and make the group our own . Soon , Sithis will give the sign , the time will be right , and the Crimson Scars will strike ! Loredas 27 Rain ' s Hand 3E 421 . We are betrayed ! That cur , Silarian , has made true our plans to the Fingers , and we have been discovered ! The Brotherhood struck as we slept , not even giving the Scars a chance to fight back . Using their silver weapons , they pierced the heart of many of my brothers . . . The screams I could hear as they turned to dust still echo within my mind . I was able to dispatch two of the purebloods that fell upon me , and before they could send more , I made good my escape . I must find a place to hide . . . to recover from this blow . I will make my way south to Deepscorn Hollow , my old hideaway from when I was but a novice . There I will make my dark plans and we shall see who Sithis truly favors ! Tirdas 21 Second Seed 3E 421 . It ' s been nearly a month , and yet none of my brethren has returned to the fold . What puzzles me is why I have not heard from my lord . Sithis hasn ' t spoken to me since that dark night . What have I done to displease him ? I have slain many since then , and poured their lifeblood on his altar , but still he remains silent . As I ponder this , I turn my attentions to the lair . Deepscorn Hollow will rise as the new headquarters of the Crimson Scars . But it must be prepared . So much to do . . . Loredas 1 Mid - Year 3E 421 . The lair has improved much . I was fortunate to find Rowley Eardwulf at the Wawnet Inn outside of the Imperial City , another Scar who had escaped the night of slaughter . He now does his dark work acquiring the tools I need to bring Deepscorn Hollow back to its former glory . I must remember him in the future should I ever need these items again . Middas 17 Sun ' s Height 3E 421 . 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 Tirdas 30 Sun ' s Height 3E 421 . I have found it ! My lord will be pleased ! My answer lies with the Purgeblood Salts . Yes ! I will bathe in these tonight and free myself from my old ways ! Hail Sithis ! Dark ruler , soon I will be your only true disciple !
