If you don't mind @Alucard Vampiry, how strong is our faction compared to others?

Fairly strong, could survive a prolonged war against one or three of the bigger factions, and have a chance to win.

And what advantages and disadvantages we currently have?

Apart from having a avatar of a god as the leader, you guys possess: A very very high level of loyalty upon your mortal population, magical support, a horde of undead in the literal millions, after the next interlude ww1 guns, and many other things which include one of the bigger spy networks in the old world.

ww1 guns without proper factories to supply them with shells are going to be near useless, in order to build such factories we would need help from the dwarves for conventional, or the skaven for warpstone based shells. One needs us to set up proper gunpowder production the other needs a large supply of warpstone.

Cosmical Hierarchy of The Church of Knowledge (Future Canon)
  • Apocrypha
    • This is detailed document of the cosmical hierarchy of the religion known as the church of knowledge, it is divided between four different types: The first type is obviously the god of knowledge himself known as 'Aleksander', 'Emperor of The Dead', 'Father of The Night', 'Father of Dragons', 'The Devil', 'Dracul', and many other names and titles.

    The next one are the Firstborn his 'Daemons', 'Angels', or 'First Children of Dracul' depending on who you ask and question.

    The firstborn are divided into multiple types of not only appearance but ranking as well there are the lesser types who serve as 'normal' rank and file troopers and minor officers and the great types who are generals of Dracul's army. Both shall be detailed on a later date.

    Below them there is the Second Born, those are the 'Daemon Princes', 'Ascended Ones' or 'Second Children of Dracul', these are quite simply mortals who impressed the lord of knowledge through various actions which can range from conquering or corveting many civilizations in his name, or acquiring knowledge who was once widely considered to be lost.

    The title of second born comes because while they have risen and attained a greater connection to the god of knowledge they still hold some aspects of their mortal life and so do not have the sheer connection that the firstborn have, as well because they came second to them. This is not to say that they are weaker than the firstborn, but they still are below in terms of hierarchy, a thing that the firstborn likes to remind them of. A more detailed document of their existence shall be written on a later date.

    Now we come to the bottom of the cosmical hierarchy, the Thirdborn have many titles 'Cultists', 'Mad Men', 'The Third Children of Dracul', if you have not yet discovered what they are I shall say it to you, they are the worshippers of the god of knowledge they are the ones who pray to the lord of the dead, they can range from simple humans to ancient vampires and elves and even mages, among other beings of supernatural nature.

    They are the ones who attend the various churches, and cathedrals, who work day and night for their lord and master. All of them are fanatics to various degrees, ones will not kill you because you disrespected their god by desecrating his words, while others will do it without remorse or empathy.

    They are divided into multiple branches, like the Church itself or the Illuminated among others.


    Gm Note: Here is something while I write the interludes.

    Interlude - The Future of Warfare
  • Threadmarks
    • The Future of Warfare​

    Jason is very nervous right now, after all it is not every time that you meet a living god that you and all your people worship. He still remembers how awful it was back in the old days of their home, how the chance of starving and dying was much greater than now.

    Now things were very different from then, children laughing as their parents watched, Hygiene and other things that he didn't actually bother to understand keep the plagues and diseases at bay, food was no longer scarce, and he and his family had actual beds and homes which kept the chill of the night away from them.

    Thinking about his family made Jason think about them-

    "JASON STOP STARRING AT THE FUCKING AIR!!!" - His boss shouted at him, shattering his dream which may or may not have involved his wife.

    "Hi boss"

    "DON'T 'Hi boss' ME YOU MAGGOT!!!" - His boss Crag shouted at him again, repeating his previous with a whining sound. "Now are the prototypes ready for testing"

    He nods, and his boss nods as well and says to him to not screw this up or else…

    Frankly his boss is worrying for nothing, after all what is the worst that can happen?

    *10 Minutes Later*

    The test began after the arrival of their god, if there is one word which can be said about was majestic. It demanded obedience and loyalty, this coupled with his natural charisma which made him the center of attention wherever he went so that Jason and his friends simply could not look anywhere but him while they kneeled.

    The latter was much more of a natural response than anything else. No wonder half of the women in Mousillon wanted to sleep with him, at least he thinks it's half.

    He was followed by guards that are purely ceremonial, after all the only being in his opinion that would dare fight another god was another god.

    If a mortal dared to do that they would instantly die.

    "Begin the test" - God says as the testing and research team are broken from the stupor as they quickly begin the testing session.

    The long barreled weapons are shown and the damage which they bring, before the official end of the testing run God rises from his chair and grabs one of the weapons which sat on the desk.

    "While these are great weapons, I see problems:

    1) the distribution of the weapons and the ammunition can take time if supply lines are not made.

    2) The demand of the ammunition and weapons can exceed the amount produced though to be fair any weapon has that particular problem.

    3) There are races and beings such as vampires that can easily evade them, but using them against mass infantry can cause severe enemy casualties after all they can't evade a proper firing line firing thousands of bullets."

    God continues to say both pros and cons of the new weapons. "In short while these are great weapons there are many pros and cons, but I have a plan to rectify some of these problems"

    Aleksander analyzed these weapons and saw the possibilities of it and so he got a taste of…

    Ambition


    Rewards:

    Aleksander gains a trait: Ambitious: You possess a great ambition to see your enemies destroyed and conquer or assimilate new lands to your control. +2 To All Stats, +3 To Personal Combat

    Unlocks Project: The Future of War.

    Unlocks new research.

    • I will be fair I was writing and rewriting this for so many times that I simply gave up and the result was this short thing, some core concepts were maintained while others were discarded.

    Death to The World - Dracul's Has Come
  • Apocrypha


    • Death to the world! Dracul's come
    Let The Cosmo's abhor this thing
    Let every mind prepare for doom
    As anguish and woe he'll bring. (And anguish and woe he'll bring.)
    As anguish and woe he'll bring. (Anguish and woe he'll bring.)
    As anguish, as anguish and woe he'll bring

    Up from the dark, Mousillon did rise
    The cultists awestruck dumb
    With ancient rites so wretched and perverse, (So foul and base.)
    Dracul's time is come. (Dracul's time is come.)
    Drucul's time is come. (Dracul's time is come.)
    Dracul's, Dracul's time has come

    Death to the world! Dracul reigns
    The Great Dark Ones destroy
    With wrath and doom, so cruel and foul
    Replete with obscene joy. (Replete with obscene joy.)
    Replete with obscene joy. (Replete with obscene joy.)
    Replete, replete with obscene joy

    He rules the Cosmo's with dreadful might
    And through our ghastly dreams
    His twisting turning shadows (His shadows)
    Elicit from us maddened screams. (Elicit screams)
    Dracul's time is come. (Dracul's time is come.)
    Dracul's time is come. (Dracul's time is come.)
    Dracul's, Dracul's time has come


    OOC: I listened to this song and decided this remade verseion of the lyrics thinking you guys as more a Eldritch abomination, and yes 'Dracul' is you guys.

    Also this song is future canon and so exists in the quests 'verse.
