This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Let's assume this is correct about surface plants needing the raw Magicka from the sun to live.
Blackreach is full of plants, many of which are edible, and receives no sunlight. Humanoids could just start farming the plants from Blackreach along with fungi. That should be enough to sustain a large enough population for Harkon and his court to feed on in their vampire paradise.
I'm surprised Harkon didn't try to take Blackreach for himself. They're immune to Falmer poison, they can use their full power without sunlight, they're smarter and have access to invisibility, illusions, and charms.
In return he could have a country sized cavern, with at least two points of contact to Skyrim one either end, all the dwemer tech to hoard and use with their ancient knowledge. He could subjugate the falmer to be blood livestock, they're already crafted to be good slaves by the dwemer.
He could slowly build up a vampire/thrall/dwemer machine army right under Skyrim then wage war overnight. Could even use dwemer machines by day to maintain territory until you complete this master prophecy you have.
Don't even need the invisibility and illusion underground, just get good at ventriliquism.
