We need the lifeblood of a high dragon so nope, also nomming on beings so imbued with chaos is probably not a good idea.

You know, with how strong of an influence we have over Mousillon, I'm surprised we haven't been seeing any messages from our sublords in Rachard, Grenuille Gate, and Chateau Hane. Then there is Castle Mousillon, which has a great deal of areas we can improve if we only just have control over the human populated areas. For instance, relighting the Lance of Light lighthouse, and potentially gaining the ghost of Manon as a servant.

Comes a bit late, but I felt so much happened its still worth commenting on.
Okay, I looked at the total undead military list. We have 20k skeletons, 19k zombies, and 25k ghouls, for 64k in total.
64k / .08 = 800,000
So...we have a lot of potential recruitment. And with dice rolls influencing things, its possible that with a few super-crits we might be able to recruit over 1 million undead of various types, not even counting the various beasts and monsters. We could develop to be quite a fearsome opponent.
30,000 Fell Bats, 30,000 Direwolves, 5,000 Vargheists, 5,000 Varghulfs, 5,000 Crypt Horrors as of this turn on the realm sheet, and 75k in total.
75k / .37 = 202,702 potential beasties we could recruit. And considering how much more powerful they are compared to skellies or zombos, thats a frightening amount of damage they could unleash.
@Alucard vampiry , I have a few questions:
1. As we gathered up Brettonian and Imperial technologies and schematics, was the design of the barracks modified to accomodate the influx of new tech and such?
1a. If not, would it be possible in upcoming turns to expand the barracks and upgrade it with what we acquired?
2. What is the current training capacity of the barracks, and to what level of training quality?
Other than that, a great outcome, I'm very pleased training our living soldiers is going to get off to such a great start.
And yeah, of course thats our mount eventually. So cool!
Also, pike formations, we'll need them. Them and Greatswords.
Plus several techs for agricultural reforms, which is always good, and the wine press will enhance wine production which will boost trade income. @Alucard vampiry , will the agri techs be automatically integrated into the Expand Farms action?
I thought doing this would unlock some multiplier traits, and Genius is one of the better stat bonuses. Nice.
Hmm...a 3% boost garnered 10k skellies and zombos...

So, rolling a super-crit, I imagine that the facilities are both larger and better equipped than what was initially planned.

I'm glad we avoided a crit-fail, especially on such a potentially volatile issue. And this is good, as it covers our future recruitment of magic users, and possibly even covers necromancers, though that might take further social engineering/propaganda to pull off.
Fantastic, off to a good start. Hopefully this unlocks beginning to diplomatically court allies, we could stand to suck up to the Dwarves if possible, and maybe Elves bc we can potentially learn all the Winds of Magic like they can do, so learning from the best makes sense. I'd rather use High Magic and not Dhar for anything.
Considering the description, high quality human roads would make more sense, unless we hired Dwarf work crews. Did we? Should have been more expensive then, due to the Dwarves' expertise and the higher quality materials they normally use.
Learning from a secret genius vampire...our first teachers better be good.
...that is HUGE, a literal game changer. I mean, we have no clue how to hatch them, but still, actual living dragons allied to us would be titanically useful. We'd have viable opponents against superheavy opponents or vehicles, even Giants. The Dwarves in ancient times had forges that used the intense heat generated by older dragons to forge super-powerful artifacts and weapons (I forget if this is a WHF thing, maybe LOTR, I forget, but it should be possible in theory). And of course adult dragons can pretty much wipe out conventional small armies on their own. And thats not even counting possible magic we could use to imbue them with further abilities.
And yeah, of course thats our mount eventually. So cool!
Very nice! Now as we get forges and smiths up and running, we can have them make much higher quality weapons, armor, and gear from the beginning. Bretonnian standards for their knights are quite high, so even without the Lady's Blessings we should still have very potent living cavalry once we get them trained.
Also, pike formations, we'll need them. Them and Greatswords.
Plus several techs for agricultural reforms, which is always good, and the wine press will enhance wine production which will boost trade income. @Alucard vampiry , will the agri techs be automatically integrated into the Expand Farms action?
These are perhaps more important than the Brettonian techs. Crossbows will massively reduce training needs for ranged troops meaning we can field more of them, and of course Imperial firearms while crude by modern standards open up development of gunpowder weaponry at all, especially cannons. I mean, yeah we can build trebuchets much faster in our current state, but we NEED to work towards establishing our own cannon foundries eventually.
I don't really care about the banner, I'll leave that up to my fellow players, but I am happy for the bonus.
This is huge, especially as my above calculations show just how many we could potentially get access to, (not counting anybody we kill and recruit). Anything that improves zombie quality will multiply across all of them.
...Dwarf runes? This...again, can be huge. If we can begin to learn about Dwarf runes, perhaps enough to create our OWN human runes independently from Dwarves, that would break the Dwarves' monopoly on rune anything. Its the kind of breakthrough thing that even kingdoms and peoples who hate vampires might be willing to trade secretly with us and stay nautral in order to get them.
Considering the multiplying bonuses these unlocked, perhaps having these be like 2 turns long might have been better, to illustrate the scale of the improvement. Too late now though.
I thought doing this would unlock some multiplier traits, and Genius is one of the better stat bonuses. Nice.
I don't know much about these abilities, but anything to round out our repertoire is always good. We need to be as capable as possible to fight off potentially the whole world.
Nice, very good abilities to possess, and refining our control over the undead is a very good thing, as we now have a definite idea just how of them are out there.

So, some future turn ideas based on this last turn giving me ideas:
Martial:
- (Living) Mousillon Scouts/Skirmishers: Now that Brettonian technologies such as hardened leather and Imperial ones such as crossbows have been recovered for Mousillon's use, establishing a dedicated group of living scouts and skirmishers is quite possible. Modeled off the lines of Dwarven Rangers, equipped in hardened leather armor, wielding crossbows, javelins, and axes and short swords for melee combat, these scouts won't be nearly as good as true Rangers, but a beginning is needed, and why not learn from the best? Unlocks: Scout/Skirmisher regiments.
- (Living) Mousillon Light Cavalry: Mousillon has some horses, but as they are even the knight's destriers are not that impressive compared to the true prize of Brettonian warhorses with their superb bloodlines and possible magical influence. Expanding a group of light cavalry for high-mobility reinforcement of Mousillon's borders, messengers, and more is very needed. Equipped in a mixture of chainmail and half-plate, unlike Brettonian knights, these light cavalry will use ranged weapons, such as bows at long range and pistols and lances at close range. Unlocks: Light Cavalry regiments.
- (Living) Mousillon at Range: Establishing regiments of dedicated archers, using a mix of crossbows and longbows, will provide a significant edge in battle against Mousillon's enemies. Unlocks: Archer regiments.
- (Living) Moussilon's Swordtip: With higher-grade Brettonian steel now able to be produced, establishing frontline heavy infantry equipped with longswords, warhammers, spears, and advanced shields is a very good idea. These forces will hold the battle lines against Mousillon's enemies. Unlocks: Melee regiments.
- (Living) Mousillon's Long Reach: Infantry trained in the use of Pikes and Halberds will establish a longer reach for Mousillon's armies, keeping back Brettonian super-cavalry and other nations' horses as well. Unlocks: Pike regiments.
- (Living) Mousillon Greatswords: With no legal restrictions on the numbers of Greatswords that can be fielded, Mousillon should push for the establishment of its own elite infantry, to have an edge against the champions of other nations. Unlocks: Greatsword regiments, Champion recruitment.
- (Undead) Infantry Rearmament: Mousillon's undead are equipped often with what they wielded in life, which is often as rotten and decayed as they are. Taking the undead's weapons and armor and replacing with properly maintained equivalents will provide a substantial edge across all of the undead in the land. Result: Mousillon's skeletons and zombies are armed and armored with modern equivalents. When not marching to war, undead are conditioned to return their weaponry and armor to mobile armory wagons which accompany the army on campaign, ensuring that weapons and armor are properly maintained and cleaned back home. +10 to all undead infantry combat rolls, +10% maintenance cost (due to maintaining said weapons and armor).
- (Undead) Bestial Relations: The number of necromancers and vampires in Mousillon is so far rather low, which as the armies expand will make controlling them a problem. Using modified techniques to tame wild animals, mortal living handlers can be taught to act as an intermediate rank in controlling Direwolves and other monsters, giving them simple directives through training, and reinforcing their obedience through snacks of living flesh via livestock. Its expensive, but it will ensure that mortals play a greater part in working with Mousillon's undead, and that the undead and living can be shown to work together at all. Result: +5 to all Beast rolls. Greater tolerance of Mousillon's living of undead and dark beasts.
Diplo:
- Recruit Unwanted Brettonians: Mousillon has need of your tired masses, the too clever minds that are not tolerated, the renegades that are very annoying but are too useful to just kill. Send your tired masses and malcontents to Mousillon, where you gain domestic peace in a time of crisis, and we have more hands to work the fields. Everybody wins. Result: Intellectuals, malcontents, and other potentially useful but not tolerated members of Brettonian society sent to Mousillon in exchange for domestic peace, which they desperately need.
- Recruit Foreign Exiles: Many travel the world because their own nations have disposed of them, or ordered them to never return. Recruiting these renegades and foreigners could have immense benefits. Result: Foreigners recruited, bribed, or seduced to move to Mousillon, bringing their talents and knowledge with them. Chance of ???
- Dwarf Outreach (Grey Mountains): The Dwarven Holds have long been allies of Brettonia and the Empire, and indeed they make excellent weapons, roads, and fortifications. Making friends with them and establishing trade is a good idea, at the least to sow some level of mixed loyalties in future conflicts. Results: diplomatic talks opened with various Dwarven Holds from the Grey Mountains. Roll dependent on what come out of said talks.
- Elven Outreach (Ulthuan): The High Elves of Ulthuan are a proud yet mighty people, and have worked with Brettonia and the Empire in the past. Making friends with them and establishing trade is a good idea, at the least to sow some level of mixed loyalties in future conflicts. Result: diplomatic talks opened with the High Elves, (roll dependent on what comes of it).
- Elven Outreach (Athel Loren): The Wood Elves of Athel Loren are mighty and know the true power of nature, turning it on invaders and foreigners alike. Establishing relations with these proud dwellers of the forest may yield unexpected benefits. Results: Talks opened with Athel Loren. ???
- Tilean Relations: Talking with geographic neighbors is always a good thing, and Tilea has much to offer, their fine steel being one of them. Results: Talks with Tilea opened up, roll dependent on what emerges from them.
- Estalian Relations: Talking with geographic neighbors is always a good thing, and Estalia has much to offer. Results: Talks with Estalia opened up, roll dependent on what emerges from them.
Stewardship:
- Engineering Workshop: There are few true engineers and machinists in Mousillon, and most of them are passing through. The few that exist though can be brought together to work in larger teams, and a dedicated workshop built to their unique needs and specifications. Not only is this needed for producing complex equipment on a large scale, this will also bring their minds together, unleashing new innovative ideas to give Mousillon any further edge it can get. Unlocks: new research and infrastructure options.
- Water Mills: Using the power of nature harnessed to man's will will change the world. Result: Water Mills built in Mousillon's towns and cities. +100 to agricultural income. Bonus to Engineering Workshop production quality, Forge/Smithy production quality.
- Wind Mills: Using the power of nature harnessed to man's will will change the world. Result: Wind Mills built in Mousillon's towns and villages. +100 to agricultural income.
Learning:
- (Prereq: Engineering Workshop) Hybrid Bows: Longbows allow a rapid stream of long-range firepower, yet take years of training and development to properly utilize to full power, while crossbows are unwieldy and heavy yet can be used by a new recruit with virtually no training. Perhaps combining the best features of both worlds is possible? Unlocks: Hybrid Bows (basically this lovely abomination: )
Intrigue:
- Brettonian Horse Blood: Brettonian warhorses are legendary for how terrifying and tough they are in the field of battle. With Mousillon's cavalry so anemic by comparison, as a vampire you know all that the quality of bloodlines matters quite a bit. Sending out teams to acquire Brettonian foals of high quality breeding is essential to injecting Mousillon's horses with new blood. Unlocks: Mousillon Heavy Cavalry.
- Anti-Cult Watch: Eternal vigilance must be maintained so Chaos does not take root in Mousillon's borders. +10 to anti-Chaos rolls within Mousillon's borders, greater chances of detecting major cult or magical activity in Mousillon's borders.
Its a start, anyways. Feedback appreciated.

Been doing further research on our territory in Lexicanum as well as a Map of the Old World, and discovered a few bits of information of interest. Firstly, across the river from the town of Mousillon, within Bordeaux is the Turris Vigilans who constantly scry over the lands. Another factoid of note is that it is likely that most of our acquired technology from the "empire" actually likely originated in Sigmarsheim, a town located within Old Mousillon. It makes sense considering the fact that the border between the Empire and Bretonnia is on the opposite side of Brettonia compared to where we are.

- 1) No, you will have an action to intengrate the technologies you stole next turn.
- The training capacity is, taking in account the size of your future regiments, 10,000 give or take. And yes you can expand it
- The level is comparable to an average imperial soldier, but the training can be improved with actions.
Yes it will
I wish it was that, your roads are COMPARED to the average dwarf road but are NOT the same in both how they were built and the materials used.

Choose 3
[] Gather The Undead of Mousillon: While you have gathered thousands of undead there are still thousands more out there in the darkness of Mousillon, and as its ruler, it is only natural for they serve you in death while they could not in life. DC 30
Cost: 0
Time: 1 Turn
Result: Gains New Undead
[] Gather The Beasts of Mousillon: Mousillon not only holds undead, dark beasts such as direwolves, vargheists, ghouls, and many more inhabit the shadowlands of Mousillon. DC 35
Cost: 0
Time: 1 Turn
Result: Gains Beast Army
[] Build Ghost Fence: A ghost fence is a barrier with little physical substance - merely a series of poles or posts upon which are hung accursed fetishes and totems to which Daemonic and Undead spirits have been bound with forbidden spells. Only a brave or foolish warrior crosses a ghost fence without good cause - or without powerful protective wards. DC 45
Cost: 1,500
Time: 2 Turns
Result: The Rose gains a +15 bonus to defense rolls.
[] Plant Sinister Corpse: An effect of the necromancy the trees seem to crave blood. There are many tales of how a hut built too close to a corpse was discovered to have tree roots boring into the bodies of the unfortunates sleeping within. These trees can grow particularly anywhere as long as they have magic to sustain themselves, they also attract dark beasts which serve the forces of undead. DC 43
Cost: 1,000
Time: 1 Turn
Result: Can now recruit: Fell Bats, Direwolves
[] Build Defiled Cairn: Technically is not really defiled but whatever, defiled cairns is where the cannibalistic creatures are known as ghouls spawn, the process of transformation is a heinous affair with bones breaking and then reforming back in a new shape, the flesh starts turning green and ugly along with dozens of other changes, their claws also possess some kind of mix between a poison and a virus any living thing which takes the slightest marks will transform into a ghoul no matter how long it takes. There is no cure to this effect. DC 38

Result: Mousillon's skeletons and zombies are armed and armored with modern equivalents. When not marching to war, undead are conditioned to return their weaponry and armor to mobile armory wagons which accompany the army on campaign, ensuring that weapons and armor are properly maintained and cleaned back home. DC 0
Cost: 5,000
Time: 4 Turns
Result: +10 to all undead infantry combat rolls, +10% maintenance cost (due to maintaining said weapons and armor).

...then how in the hell are we ever supposed to be able to create them? That DC is impossible to hit on a turn to turn basis. We'll never get 5 turns of successes.No l didn't, there is reason why the runeblades are very hard to make after all
[X] Plan Thriller
-[X] Gather The Undead of Mousillon
I'd like to keep going with this until we're up to the same percentage as Gather Beasts, then start alternating.
-[X] Build Ghost Fence
Lets get this next level of defenses for the Rose built.
-[X] (Undead) Infantry Rearmament
Tough choice between this and the living military upgrades, but I'd like to do this first since it takes longer, and will apply to ALL our undead infantry.
-[X] Show your true nature to the humans
Time for the big reveal!
-[X] Recruit Unwanted Brettonians
And since Diplomatic Staff finished last turn, and we have great Diplomacy and Intrigue, I'm willing to take a risk on this.
-[X] Expand Farms
That's some excellent income boost from the farming tech we got, so lets definitely do it.
-[X] The Underground
Lets do this to see what's under the Rose, good or bad.
-[X] Blacksmith
And the benefits of blacksmith outweigh the other available options by a lot.
-[X] Training Facility
A further bonus to rolls is always nice.
-[X] Anti-Cult Watch
Bonuses to finding Chaos is always good.
-[X] Sabotage the Invaders
Definitely gotta do this to buy Bretonnia some breathing room.
-[X] Dread Animator
-[X] Incantations of Ushoran
-[X] Corruptor of The Forests
Only three things available
-[X] Analyse the dragon eggs
Same for seeing what kinda dragons we have.
-[X] Practice Your Light Magic
-[X] Practice your vampire magic
And more light and vampire magic.

[X] Plan Born to be Wild
avatar11792
Et Sic Incipit
- Location
- Planet Earth, North America
[X] Plan: Objects of Darkness
[X] Gather The Undead of Mousillon: While you have gathered thousands of undead there are still thousands more out there in the darkness of Mousillon, and as its ruler, it is only natural for they serve you in death while they could not in life. DC 30
Cost: 0
Time: 1 Turn
Result: Gains New Undead
(OOC: With how few we actually control in our lands, we need to always do this every turn to keep grabbing them up. Its free troops we DON'T have to make or train ourselves. That's also why I'm also having us focus on developing our Vampire magic, bc it will increase our control over larger and larger undead hordes.)
[X] Plant Sinister Corpse: An effect of the necromancy the trees seem to crave blood. There are many tales of how a hut built too close to a corpse was discovered to have tree roots boring into the bodies of the unfortunates sleeping within. These trees can grow particularly anywhere as long as they have magic to sustain themselves, they also attract dark beasts which serve the forces of undead. DC 43
Cost: 1,000
Time: 1 Turn
Result: Can now recruit: Fell Bats, Direwolves
(OOC: We need to unlock new monster/troop types, aand these are powerful units, Fell Bats especially bc they will grant us limited aerial control.)
[X] Build Defiled Cairn: Technically is not really defiled but whatever, defiled cairns is where the cannibalistic creatures are known as ghouls spawn, the process of transformation is a heinous affair with bones breaking and then reforming back in a new shape, the flesh starts turning green and ugly along with dozens of other changes, their claws also possess some kind of mix between a poison and a virus any living thing which takes the slightest marks will transform into a ghoul no matter how long it takes. There is no cure to this effect. DC 38
Cost: 2,000
Time: 1 Turn
Result: Can Now Recruit: Crypt Ghouls
(OOC: These sound extremely powerful, we need them, especially before things get too heated or we are discovered.)
[X] Trained Diplomats: Always better to have full-time professionals in charge of this than the ones who won their position by bribes or favors. DC 15
Cost: 50
Time: 2 Turns
Result: +10 bonus to diplomatic actions ('Show Your True Nature To Humans' will not receive the bonus as they won't know it).
[X] Diplomatic Staff: A full-time diplomatic staff to help run diplomatic operations is a good idea. DC 15
Cost: 100
Time: 1 Turns
Result: +10 Bonus diplomatic actions ('Show Your True Nature To Humans' will not receive the bonus as they won't know it).
(OOC: Already doing both of these.)
[X] Recruit Unwanted Brettonians: Mousillon has need of your tired masses, the too clever minds that are not tolerated, the renegades that are very annoying but are too useful to just kill. Send your tired masses and malcontents to Mousillon, where you gain domestic peace in a time of crisis, and we have more hands to work the fields. Everybody wins. Diplomatic DC 15; Intrigue DC 20
Cost: 0
Time: 2 Turns
Result: Intellectuals, malcontents, and other potentially useful but not tolerated members of Brettonian society sent to Mousillon in exchange for domestic peace, which they desperately need.
Warning: Operations may be found by Brettonia.
(OOC: I'm choosing to do this bc with our extreme bonuses we should relatively easily meet the needed DCs.)
[X] Expand Farms: Expanding the farms would give you gold to fuel your projects and your peasant's food to feed themselves. The new technologies stole from other parts of Brettonia will surely give more production than before. DC 20
Cost: 900
Time: 1 Turn
Result: +700 Income. +500 Food Income
(OOC: Before we aactually recruit living troops, we need a larger and healthier population base in which to do so. This accomplishes both, plus integrates the new technologies we discovered into our society.)
[X] The Underground: You build your capital deep underground surely there must be some mineral veins down there. DC 10
Cost: 0
Time: 1 Turn
Result: Mineral Survey of your portion of the underground.
(OOC: We need greater mining options for new resources, and this is a way to get that.)
[X] Blacksmith: Encouraging already here and providing them with funding to either improve their tools or expand their training, is a great idea.
Cost: 2,000
Time: 1 Turn
Result: Boosts civilian trade, improves quality of life. Unlocks Smith variant types.
(OOC: Improving way of life plus unlocking greater industrial capacity? Sign me up!)
[X] Training Facility: Spies, foreign agents, and assassins need to be trained for maximum effect, after all. DC 10
Cost: 500
Time: 2 turns
Result: +10 bonus to intrigue actions
(OOC: Having a flat bonus to all Intrigue actions is a very good idea when a lot of what we to do is so damn volatile.)
[X] Brettonian Horse Blood: Brettonian warhorses are legendary for how terrifying and tough they are in the field of battle. With Mousillon's cavalry so anemic by comparison, as a vampire you know all that the quality of bloodlines matters quite a bit. Sending out teams to acquire Brettonian foals of high quality breeding is essential to injecting Mousillon's horses with new blood. DC 45
Cost: 0
Time: 1 Turn
Result: Unlocks: Mousillon Heavy Cavalry.
(OOC: Unlocking reliable heavy cavalry that is not undead is a great way to keep up our appearance as servants of the Lady, thus keeping our true allegiance (ie to ourselves) in the dark. Plus Brettonian heavy cav is terrifyingly effective.)
[X] Sabotage the Invaders: The norscans and orcs are putting to much pressure on brettonia at the rate they are going brettonia may break under their weight, you cannot allow that, not yet. DC 36
Cost: 0
Time: 1 turn
Rewards: Norscans and orcs stalled.
(OOC: Sad to say this seems to be actually needed. Would have preferred to weaken Brettonia more bc I don't view Brettonia collapsing as a bad thing bc we could take advantage of the chaos to gobble up territory, manpower, and resources, but it is true that every turn bought is more time for us to develop into an opponent that nobody can shatter.)
[X] Dread Animator: The Dread Animator is a shadowy presence appearing just above the left shoulder of a Necromancer. For an undisclosed price, he will whisper secrets into the spellcaster's ear that will invigorate even the most stubborn Wight back to his mortal remains for service in the Necromancer's legions. DC 20
Cost: 0
Time: 1 turn
Rewards: +5 to grave guards and black knights. ???
(OOC: Sounds like plot, I like plot. And elite troops are needed, so we need to pay this price.)
[X] Incantations of Ushoran: Ushoran was the first Ghoul King; his spirit can be invoked with the right words, and his children summoned. DC 45
Cost: 0
Time: 1 Turn
Rewards: -10% Recruitment cost for crypt ghouls and horrors.
(OOC: Since I'm pushing for getting Crypt Ghouls, getting this makes a lot of sense now.)
[X] Corruptor of The Forests: The darker and more haunted the forests become, the better the habitat for fell creatures. DC 34
Cost: 0
Time: 1 Turn
Rewards: -10% Recruitment cost for direwolves and fell bats (when you can do that).
(OOC: Again, getting this now makes sense.)
[X] Practice Your Light Magic: Hysh the lore of light it is the first lore of magic you have, you never had time to properly train it as had more pressing matters at the moment. DC 30
Rewards: New light spell
(OOC: Still pushing for Speed Of Light, but more Light magic is always good bc its very overpowered.)
[X] Practice your vampire magic: Vampires have their own type of magic, it is similar to common necromancy but it is more strong whether because of the nature of vampires as undead or something else no one knows. DC 20
Rewards: New vampiric spell
(OOC: Expanding our control of the undead, plus new spells? Great combo.)
[X] Learn Metal Magic: the Lore of Metal is the Yellow Wind of Magic, and it is a manifestation of the Aethyric abstract and reality of logic, the desire to quantify, the desire and need to learn and instruct, and the wish to implement learning to practical or tangible ends. DC 65
Cost: 0
Time: 1 turn
Rewards: Learns New Lore: Lore of Metal
(OOC: With us pushing for blacksmith development, learning this should allow us to maybe grant our smiths an edge with Lore of Metal-enchanted equipment, maybe? Anyways, lots of potential here.)
***
Already explained my specific actions, but overall I still want to keep our identity as a vampire secret as long as possible. Yes we have a LOT of bonuses already there, but I want more, bc in this world Vampires and Undead are FEARED by pretty everybody. The more infrastructure we develop, the healthier and more populous our people are, that is the ticket to truly getting them on our side. I do not wish to rule through fear like some vampire overlords do, I want to sway the living to my side, that there are so many benefits to staying with me that they will do it of their own volition, instead of mind control or terror tactics.
And yes, I am afraid of how Mousillon, let alone the world, will react when our true nature is revealed. Its Warhammer, it ain't going to be pretty.
As usual for me there is a lot of attempted syngergy going on. Blacksmiths synch with Lore of Metal we're learning, Expand Farms synchs up with future civilian/living recruitment, and constantly were pushing for an expansion of our powers into new Winds so we're not a one-trick pony. The sooner we as a character can get to some form of High Magic the better, Dhar use will just drive us batty the quicker and we want to avoid that as a vamp in the long term.
