This is not a rumor at all. I was bit by a vampire there, but luckily i got the key from the old man on the mountain after bringing him some honey syrup. Then i opened the gate at the cave after fighting the bridge troll, in which case i had to slay the dragon. Then i brought the dragon's heart to the local shahman who made me give him 100 gold pieces to make the cure for vampirism. I drunk that and a DUI later... bam! Broke, burned, scared, and jailed- i ended my acting career. At least now i can go out in the sunlight
