Year of our lord 1234
Run. The only thought in your mind.
Blasted hunters, blasted, blasted. They destroyed everything, burned books and scrolls, grind into dust everything. Killed everyone. And now you have to run like a dog. Who could send these brigands? The Lord of this land promised our family protection, was his word so cheap? Of course it was, but to concentrate such a force of warriors, mercenaries, brigands and other vagabonds. It took time and money, also their leader, you have never seen someone like him. Monster in human flesh gutted guardians made by ancestors and upgraded by generations like it was nothing. With sword and fire, they slaughtered everyone, everyone but you.
At least a demonic horse created by your older sister could run for days and weeks without need for rest. Hell you do not think it needs rest at all, only fresh flesh and blood from time to time. Thank gods and demons for little blessings.
- Prrr - you stop the horse in the middle of forest nowhere, and look at what is left.
Horse, hunting demonic dog and five wicked servants barley keeping up. Some silver coins in a bag, and few scroll, what was left of the whole library of knowledge. Even your tools where lost. Hell and damnation, without them you could only create basic servants.
Stomping where closer, you hide in the bush, your monsters run to the winds. Horsemen appear armed to the teeth.
- Where is this piece of shit?! You know what He will do to us if we lost this kid.- Screamed first one wielding bloodied axe
- Do tell. What will I do to you? - from the bushes appeared a man with facial features of a wallcreeper.
- Nothing boss. Sorry boss. -
- Here boss, I can see markings. - screams another with wile smile
Wallcreeper looked at the signs of your servants haste runaway, then on the other signs, then directly at you and smiled with an evil smile.
- Pack your things maggots. There is a lot to be taken care for in the ruins. Let the little worm live in fear through the rest of his life. Knowing that he is never safe. We will get him later.- Wallcreeper turns around and gets back to what was left of your family's household, dozens of hard born warriors moved after him.
Where to run? Where to hide? Where to plan revenge? Where to gain power?
[ ] North -> Kingdom of Poland, fragmented between princes and lately tried to be united by Silesian Princedom, with Teutonic Knights massacring Pomeranians. Under the surface it is worse. Vampire war between two groups, old voivodes trying to hold onto its power, and young, in relative terms, vampire mages invading outside of Prague and Krakow, rising in power, and the third group of vampire knights desecrating and destroying ancient sites, flowing from the Holy Roman Empire.
[ ] South -> Ancient land of the Byzantian Empire, now destroyed and divided between Latin Conquerors. There are rumors that some powerful being plotted it all to obtain treasures of the ancient world. There are also rumors about the family of the name of Belmont that hunts this being and every vampire that is associated with it, with zeal of inquisitors and power of Hun hordes.
[ ] Center -> Stay in the Kingdom of Hungary. Hunters, hunters everywhere. No one knows why, but there are words of orders and cults following or imitating some vampire killer and a knight.
[ ] East -> Holy Roman Empire. Old aristocracy full of themselves and their power. Dancing in the eternal tune of diplomacy and intrigue. Princes against bishops, bishops inquisition against vampires, mages against everyone. With dagger, venom and word. Since Emperor Frederick II took and changed his seat of power to Sicily all power plays accelerated into consolidation of power. Serve or die is the word of the court.
[ ] West -> Principality of Volhynia and Galicia. Fresh under its second ruler Daniel Romanowych that tries to consolidate his power, and cleansed it from the Hungarian influence. Under it, werewolfs dancing the black spirale, renegade mages, diabolist vampires and every kind of beast not accepted anywhere else. Everyone for themselves and each against everyone.

Ok, let's try this again. This is a strategic game based on the modified CK 2 rules as Devil Forgemaster. As one you can summon souls of the wicked and plant them into dead bodies to creat monsters under your command. We're playing in the world of Castlevania, but with some changes. The changes is my obsessive love of World of Darkness and Chronicles of Darkness which lore I will pull in vast quantities, and some Dresden Files.
