- I want to be able to return to the Soul Cairn and rescue Valerica. That end of the plot just got left dangling for me.
You can indeed return for Valerica after Harkon is defeated.
I considered leaving her behind. She's could possibly pose a threat to the people of Skyrim. Though her daughter speaks highly of her, the fact is that she is a cunning, ancient vampire. Her motives are a mystery and her true intent unknown.
However, her machinations did lead to the defeat of Harkon. That makes her a good person. The fact is, I couldn't in good conscious leave even Durnehviir behind in that place. No soul deserves damnation unending in the soul cairn, to be slowly digested by The Ideal Masters. So ultimately, I returned for her and convinced her to return to mundus.
Once freed, she returns to her study in Castle Volkhiar. She will supply you with useful potions and can provide blood-cursed arrows for you upon request.
