It Belongs to a Museum

Another advantage of playing the bad guys is we do not have to worry so much about being sensible. Most people would hesitate to steal from Tomb Kings for instance because of the whole 'eternal armies of the vengeful dead' problem. Vampires also have eternal armies of the dead (vengeance optional) to deal with that, plus a lot of sea monsters to eat the problem before it gets to us.

Alternatively, vote for pirates and let's steal all the best music sheets in the world! You would download a car!

… Don't look at me like that, there's a debately-canon Vampire Coast who absolutely would do this.

Given Boney's general fondness for Total Warhammer, I wouldn't exactly be surprised to see Cylostra Direfin pop up.
 
It seems to be quite advantageous to be a vampire from the point of view of the curator of the museum.
If an artifact suddenly explodes in our hands or the old owners of this artifact get to us, then it will not be the end of the game because Harkon should have enough funds to resurrect us.

On the other hand, if Harkon's collection blows up on our watch, he might just decide to find someone else, someone with a track record of not having his showroom explode, to do it instead.
 
If at all possible, I'd want to be a rogue skaven pirate turned curator, personally.

All the treasure-loot for me-us, yes yes, lord harkon!

Of course, there is a chance and it is by no means small, but if we hadn't become a vampire, it would just be the end of the game.
Well, or we would have been resurrected as undead.
 
Personally I'm hoping for a Syreen or other type of spirit curator, because ghosts are a whole other bundle of lore I want to see explored.

Harkon intentionally creates them by drowning witches, but he doesn't have the same grip of thralldom over them that he would over a young vampire, and at least one has run off and caused so much havoc he had to give her independence and a whole island.
 
I know Vampire Coast are rather aquatic but how well do they fare in ocean depths? Do we have any lore example, like can they do that one scene from Pirates of Caribbean where skeletons walked on seabed?

I've been thinking about Sundering, how it sank some parts of Ulthuan and well, is it possible for us to check that? Just walk/swim, shoot some merwyrm and steal what may be left. Would elves even realize it if we could pull this off?

Ghosts are just souls that decide they do not want to do the whole 'hereafter' thing, most of them lose a great deal of themselves in the process to the tides of the Aerthyr, but hypothetically a ghost that was still intelligent and willful to function as an independent pirate would work like a spirit, nature spirits in the Empire or Djinn in Araby only ones with a history of having been human.
 
[X] Altdorf
[X] Sith Rionnasc

Altdorf because it's the earliest in the time line and I like that. Sith because I want a quest with more elf involvement. Besides that these both are empire or the empires lost toe. I'm ok with vampiric coast, but I definitely perfer these two.
 
My picks would be:
[X] Sith Rionnasc
Because I would love to see a closer look at Boney's Marienburg and Elves both, and it would be a nice counterpart to DL's broadly Marienburg-critical and Dawiphilic tone

[-] Vampire Coast
[X] Sartosa
Because I have been irrevocably damaged by the pretty vampire lady in TW:WH's Vampire Coast campaign intro

[X] Tilea
Because it feels like there's not much to say about Tilea and the adjacent Border Princes territory in canon, and I would love to see more of Boney's take on them

Which basically resolve to "anything but Altdorf", as funny as that city's self-destructive museum-building impulse is

UPD: Now that I'm sure Altdorf isn't going to win and it's between Sea Elves and VC, I am going to narrow my vote down

An argument in favour of Sith Rionnasc: The Vampire would not care about dragons, while the Elf would be very interested to know what has happened to Caledor's tame super predators. Want to know about the forest dragons of Laurelorn? Elf museum. Want to catalogue the wreckage that Cython left of every Druchii ship to go past their island? Elf museum. Want to sell Deathfang plushies in the gift shop? Elf museum.
 
In fact I'd say vampires quite notably ARE interested in giant superpredators in the way museums generally are interested in giant superpredators (collecting their skeletons)
