Lords of Darkness (WHF CK2-Ish Quest)

Reader mode
Once we're more powerful, would it be possible to create our own demigods/demon servants? I remember from lore that the various gods in the setting can use some of their power to either create new demons or empower mortals who've impressed them in order to further their goals.

I think it's best to focus on finding a safer if not a better way to sate the Thirst for blood than finding the cure. I recalled a certain Blood Knight finding a way to cure of his thirst by drinking the blood of a dragon.

Edit:
Of course, we're technically drinking blood from the criminals and stuff.

Ah, sorry. I thought you meant like jumping from Step 1 to 20 in one turn or so. I'm referring to taking the slow and steady route since the dice mechanic is adjusted from making too much crits.

Also, while the QM is busy writing the other interludes, I suggest we should make more omakes and ideas in case we need them.

Maybe, but we should focus on solving the blood problem first. We need to find a way to generate blood for our Vampires.

One of the other quests I read put forward the idea that vampires can suffice off magic alone. If they don't drink blood, their bodies naturally feed of dhar which drives them insane. It's been suggested that with The proper research it's possible to have them suffice off of Shyish (winds of death) but whether this will work or not will be entirely dependent on our GM's indulgence and the resulting dice rolls.

If this was allowed and the rolls supposed it, the result would probably be an item that serves to funnel and store the specific magic for the vampire's consumption, removing the need for blood from the equation.

Or can we find a way to expel dhar from our body without blighting the environment? Channel it into orcs, beastmen or skaven?
 
I wonder if restitution is possible regarding some of those grudges. While we may not have committed any ourselves, odds are some of our new followers might have. Also, helping them cross out a few grudges will at least buy their tolerance of us.
 
...You know, if we are ever found by a Team of Witch Hunters or Bretonnian Knights - or a Combination of both - I kinda want to just let them wander into our Home and then greet them like this:

Yes, the champion system used by chaos and others is basically that the gods select a mortal follower who has 'impressed them' ie its is a better pawn/fighter in the game than the others, and empower him in various ways chaos uses this more often.

Also information not related to the above segment: The next interlude will take more time as the file that resided it decided that it didn't want to exist anymore and deleted itself.
 
I heartily support the idea of using our undead armies to assist the Dawi. It will do nothing but generate positive press for us, and since it is inevitable our true nature will get out eventually, doing this will help compensate for the negative malus every human nation will have.

Heck, if we do something huge, like reclaim Karak 8 Peaks or something, a MAJOR Dawi Hold, then the Karaz Ankor might, maybe, come to our aid if Brettonia invades our lands to destroy us. Its not likely to be done before Brettonia finds out about us, but its a nice dream.

Hey, other targets exist too, and closer ones.

According to this huge map of WHF, we're not that far from the Black Chasm, a Skaven lair of some repute, and right next door to that is the Massif Orcal, which is infamous for being an untamed mountainous region filled with monsters.

Black Chasm

The Black Chasm in the lands of Bretonnia has been a site of strife between the clans of the Skaven since Clan Pestilens returned from its long sojourn to Lustria. It was here that Clan Pestilens' ancestors made one of their earliest homes. Their ancient forebears carved out a series of...

Black CHasm apparently is a point of contention between CLans Pestilens and Eshin, so if we did hit it hard and retake the area, we're hitting both of them really hard and hurting them. And we have quite a few advantages against Eshin assassination in that we're an immortal vampire, so that's a plus to sticking it to Eshin if possible (ie nobody else has the advantages we do to survive Skaven retaliation).

Drowning those areas in undead, seizing Black Chasm for ourselves, and sweeping the Massif Orcal clean of monsters, might very well on its own make Brettonia pause and reconsider us as something beyond just an inhuman monster.

OTOH, we're also planning on treating the common people better than exploited peasants, which they won't like AT ALL. Even if they like what we're putting our undead to use for, that alone would warrant an invasion according to intolerant Brettonian eyes.
