Movarth was just an example of a character who had been experienced at fighting vampires but failed to detect them. Virtually everyone in Skyrim is unable to detect vampirism if they're not actively looking for it. Falion will only note you're a vampire if you specifically come to him and talk to him directly, and Alva would have every reason to avoid Falion.

Virtually everyone in Skyrim is unable to detect vampirism if they\'re not actively looking for it; even Isran\'s method of telling if someone is a vampire is to trap them in a room and flood it with sunlight rather than anything more passive and subtle. Falion will only note you\'re a vampire if you specifically come to him and talk to him directly, and Alva would have every reason to avoid Falion.

Alva trying to seduce all the men in Morthal is suspicious, but only in the sense that she's, y'know, seducing men sexually. The general response to a woman going around trying to seduce men is typically going to be that she's a loose woman, not that she's a ''vampire.'' Point in case is that Idgrod acts surprised that Alva actually is a vampire, rather than just being sexually aggressive to all the men in town. I wouldn't remotely call the Mortal reaction to Alva as an idiotic moment, since it makes sense that the people would think that she's just loose and aggressive and not an undead monster plotting to kill everyone and take over the city.

IdiotPlot is not simply multiple characters carrying the IdiotBall. IdiotPlot is for when the entire plot hinges entirely on ''everyone'' involved acting like idiots, not simply a couple of characters having idiot moments that let the plot move forward. For this to be an IdiotPlot, everyone in Morthal would have to be acting like morons the entire way through. A couple of characters make boneheaded individual decisions like Alva keeping her journal and Thonnir refusing to accept your story about Laelette, but for the most part the plot progresses rationally.
