"I am ancient. I am the Land. And I am now awoken to trespassers upon my domain."
Zizo's abandoned night creacher, the reason you exist is due magick's caring for Noc. You are the Firstborne of Kain, not much is known about him, he was the first of his kind. You don't worship anyone, for you are your own God and you never kneel upon the other ones!
Blessed by Kain, you never age, you are eternal! You dont feel pain, nor do you have to sleep! You don't tire and you have an ability to put people to sleep if you get lucky! But everything has a price, you thirst for blood, your bites are tougher than usual, use your centuries old charisma to make those mortals give your blood, or if it doesn't work, do it forcefully! You may then make them serve you and be your spawn! Or you can leave those unworthy mortals to be sent to Necra!
Astrata spurns you during daelight! Wait for it to be nite...it's not the time yet, you shall soon raise an army against her!
Though you don't feel pain, those churchmen and their so called "holy" abilities may give you a hard time, so try not to reveal yourself near them!
You are free to act as you wish, whether stealthy, or walking around the town with your lord clothes proudly, for you are the rightful holder of these lands!
Roundstart spawn gives you little powers as a Vampire Lord, you've awaken from your deep sleep, you need time and blood to recover! You spawn with a rather fancy cool black and red coat and a cool crown to show your status! You look very pale though, anyone examining you without you having a hood on will instantly reveal your true nature!
Let's take a look at the skills you get:
| Roundstart skill stats | Roundstart character skills | Traits |
|---|---|---|
| Level 3 Blood Magic Level 5 Wrestling Level 4 Unarmed Level 4 Swords Level 4 Axes&Maces Level 4 Polearms Level 4 Whips&Flails Level 5 Reading Level 5 Climbing |
Race Dependable | Strong Bite, No Stamina, No Hunger, No Breath, No Pain, Toxin Immune, No Sleep, Steel Hearted, Can enter Mansion, Vampiric Dreams, No Ambush, Darkvision |
You spawned, that's good, you don't know what's around you? That's bad!
So you've spawned, you look around and it seems like a pretty cozy bedroom! Though there is no bed there, you prefer coffins more, you also like sleeping during the dae, but that's not really important since you're an Insomniac!
When its day, you get a tired popup, but you don't actually get tired, you can sleep during the day to dream and get some skills, though you are not OBLIGED to do it because you won't get any debuffs from not sleeping!
Now, there are some spare keys of your mansion, incase you get some new friends to help you complete your goal. Take a look at the cabinet just near your coffin, there is a cool sword! The chest to the west contains lifeblood, useful for healing!
Now comes the complicated part, the north of your bedroom! You can see three things there: Eye of Night, Tome of Souls and Crimson Crucible.
"I begin to channel my consciousness into a Predator's Eye."
Upon using it, makes you a levitating eye, you practically become a ghost, your body stays in the spot you activated the eye at. You can go up, down, use telepathy just like while in your own body, you can also teleport to any designated areas in the town and forest. Useful for spying on just about everyone!.....Or is it?
Unfortunately, some people can feel the presence of unholiness if your eye is near them, it is invisible, yes! But not undetectable...
Before using it, you first have to gain enough power to activate it, when activated, it greets you with two choices: Create Death Knight or Steal the Sun.
When using Create Death Knight, you pay some of your vitae for it, after some time a player in the lobby screen should get a notification if they would like to play as the summoned creature, whose only objective is to cause chaos in the town!
"I have summoned a knight from the underworld. I need only wait for them to materialize."
If you choose Steal the Sun, you lose some vitae and instantly makes it night for 10 whole minutes.
"The Sun is torn from the sky!"
All Astratan followers get a mood debuff from that aswell.
As i've stated before, to use Tome of Souls, you will need to get power, scroll down to find out how to get more power!
Upon clicking on the Crimson Crucible, you are greeted with three decisions, those are: Grow Power, Shape Amulet and Shape Armor
Now, if you chose Grow Power, then there should be a pop up, the minimum amount of vitae you need to gain the first power is 10000, so its gonna be harsh and it will raise with each power up
Upon Growing Power to Level 1, you get a new ability to transform into a bat form and use the portal that is located within your mansion!
"I am refreshed and have grown stronger. The visage of the bat is once again available to me. I can also once again access my portals."
Upon Growing Power to Level 2,you get the ability to regenerate, steal blood from others and use a mist form!
"My power is returning. I can once again access my spells. I have also regained usage of my mist form."
Upon Growing Power to Level 3, you get Blood Strenght, Blood Cerelity and an upgraded Transfix, which is now even more powerful!
"My dominion over others minds and my own body returns to me. I am nearing perfection. The armies of the dead shall now answer my call."
"Vampire Lord is enveloped in dark crimson, a horrific sound echoing in the area. They are evolved."
"I AM ANCIENT, I AM THE LAND. EVEN THE SUN BOWS TO ME."
Upon Growing Power to Level 5, you Ascend! Now you are indestructible and truly immortal, just like you were intended to be! Your thralls gain all the power ups you had in your Level 3 Power Up aswell! Crush Astrata!
When using the Shape Amulet, you will have to spend 500 vitae to access it. And it is pretty much a decoration for you yo wear until you grow power, then you will be able to access the portal, which is located just south after your bedroom.
Upon using the Shape Armor, you waste 5000 vitae, after which you get a set of robust armor for you to wear, an ancient artifact.
After leaving your bedroom, there is a northern door, that's your feast room! In which you will be eating with your friends, or foes! Ofcourse, the food isn't just appearing out of nowhere, there is a kitchen for that! It is located southwest, near Tailory&Smithy and Library, it contains some base food ingredients, if those end, you can always butcher the cow just outside the mansion to the west! To your east, there is the portal room, aswell as the prison, there are coffins for your spawn to sleep in, aswell as cells for prisoners! For Tailory&Smithy, you don't really have any skills to use it, so you might just find a skilled professional and promise him immortality if he works for you! Same for the kitchen, get a chef if you want to cook lavish for nobles!
There are different objectives you may get roundstart, those include:
Conquer — "Make the Ruler of this land bow to the will of the Lord."
Vampire Ascend — "Astrata has spurned us long enough. The Lord must conquer the Sun."
Infiltrate Church — "Curse a member of the Church."
Infiltrate Royalty — "Curse a member of the Royal Family."
Spread — "Spread the Curse to 10 mortals."
You will usually only have 3 objectives, each completion gives 5 TRIUMPH.
To complete the Conquer objective, you have to stand near the Monarch and use Demand Submission power in the VAMPIRE tab.
To make someone your spawn, keep drinking their blood, until you get a popup in which you will be able to awake them!
Lets say, your minion has done something stupid and bad, you can PUNISH him, by clicking it in your VAMPIRE tab, there are three things you can do to your minion:
| PUNISHMENT | FATE |
|---|---|
| Pain Pause DESTROY |
Gives your thrall PAIN PARALYZES your thrall DESTROYS your thrall |
As a Vampire Lord, you have countless things to do, you know, it's not always about killing and drinking blood, considering todays' state of the vampire lord and it being considered the WEAKEST villain, you have the opportunity to DRASTICALLY change the whole round, be it inviting the whole keep to a dinner in your mansion, making agreements with the monarch peacefully, helping the town against the werevolfs or just simply roleplaying with your in-game family members (yes, you can have a father, siblings, etc, even as a vampire lord...) and that's just the most common things, experiment and find more!
