Please read if you're wondering about my use and explanation of the word Dracula and the Alps. In re: to the meaning of Dracula that I used for this introduction. I read a paper (linked down below) by a Romanian professor called Constantin Rezachevici. He is a member of the Romanian Academy and Professor with the Faculty of History at the University of Bucharest. When I mentioned the word Dragon, it was rooted in the historical context of the era, not the contemporary use in the Romanian language, meaning devil. Please check his paper --- my mistake was not clarifying that I do know what the word means in contemporary Romanian. I was using information based on the era by an esteemed academic who focuses on this topic. He goes into the origin of the word, its change over time and it's really a fascinating read for anyone interested in history. Paper here: research.library.kutztown.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1005&context=dracula-studies To quote the paper, "For his son, Vlad Tepes, the name “Dracula” became through affiliation an alternative, not only a nickname, with the side effect of increasing his bad reputation, with its diabolical meaning, even though originally, in his Father's days, "Dracula" did not have a malevolent meaning." To go on, "Vlad (the father) had obtained the nickname "Dracul" in connection with his receiving the Order of the Dragon from Hungary's King Sigismund of Luxembourg at Nürnberg around February 8, 1421. The German name for this order was "Drachenordens," and in Latin, "Societatis draconistarum."." This is also explained and cited on the wikipedia page for Vlad. "Dracula is the Slavonic genitive form of Dracul, meaning "[the son] of Dracul (or the Dragon)"[9][10] "In modern Romanian, dracul means "the devil", which contributed to Vlad's reputation." [10] [9] Nandriș, Grigore (1991). "A philological analysis of Dracula and Romanian place-names and masculine personal names in.a/ea". [10] Treptow 2000, p. 10. Treptow, Kurt W. (2000). Vlad III Dracula: The Life and Times of the Historical Dracula. The Center of Romanian Studies. To explain me using the name, Transylvanian Alps, I was using the terms that Paradox decided to use. However, it seems like the term for the Southern Carpathian is used interchangeably. I understand if you're regional and know it as the Southern Carpathian range. Maybe you could petition Paradox to change the term they used. If you look online, it's used to refer to the same location -- so while it might not be a proper endonym, as an exonym, it works. www.worldatlas.com/r/w960-q80/upload/95/c0/05/ro-01.jpg imgur.com/EHo9Ab1

This is not meant to be a historical lesson entirely, I just wanted to provide context for some folks. If I'm ever incorrect, please provide me proper sources and I'll be sure to check over things. All in all though, this is meant to be a fantastical take and I expect it to be a fun miniseries! I think miniseries may describe our series since I don't plan on world conquest. Our goal will be to probably conquer the Byzantine Empire, Wallachia and other adjacent lands! Or maybe we'll just move into Hungary and other lands.

@@wu1ming9shi In European folklore water was seen as a barrier that prevented the crossing of unholy beings, however running water was generally the strongest in this sense. Since running water is much cleaner and less likely to harbour diseases, it was considered holy. Vampires are the polar opposite of this, wretched and disease-ridden abominations. So, people thought the purity of the water repelled them. This is also true of witches in European mythology, it's all to do with a somewhat religious view on the natural world. The reason vampires hang out in swamps and mires is because the water is stagnant. Furthermore, swamps, mires, etc were places where people could get lost, drowned, etc. Lots of rotting goes on there too, which is a sign of corruption and that is evil. For medieval Christians outward appearance meant something theologically/morally as well. It's not fair but it is so. Silver doesn't corrode easily and actually has some mild anti-bacterial properties, perhaps this too was why it's seen as a material against evil. That it's expensive surely doesn't hurt. The podcast "Stuff to blow your mind" has a couple of episodes about these sort of folk beliefs, what might've caused them, and any sort and any of those sort of rationalizations that might hold some (stagnant or running) water. If you're interested in this, you might want to check it out! (I'm not affiliated with them, although I'm sure it might seem like that by now. But I'm just a sort of fan.)

M'lord, I would like to begin this first report unto you by offering my thanks. The gift you have bestowed upon me shall allow me to pursue the sciences until the sun burns out, and I hope in time to showcase the fruits of my labor for you. Moving on to matters at hand, I believe our first grand goal should be thus: Dacia! You, oh most impressive impaler, are the only Orthodox Christian north of the Danube in the lands of the Pechenegs. Our pagan brethren have yet to see the light of the church. I refer not to god, but to power. The church is an administrative juggernaut, a swayer of the masses and a maker of emperors. If you were to ingratiate yourself with the Emperor of the Romans and his Patriarch in Constantinople, we can sow the seeds for our eventual infiltration into the Empire. For now, though, do what you do best. Sup the blood of your enemies as they lie skewered, strike terror into their hearts! Make all between the Danube and the Dniester yours, then solidify and move against the kingdom of Hungary, taking their eastern half to complete our domain! The uneducated might think you are declaring a new kingdom, but we more read in history know you are merely restoring the Roman Province of Dacia, "in the name of the Emperor", of course. I believe the path forward for our dark kin is to rule from the shadows, but we must carve out an ample domain in which we know we are safe, know we can feed. I've yet to see many ample candidates for conversion aside from that one Marshal you resuscitated. I'm surprised he made it, though I think he shall serve your goals well. My only advice moving forward is temper skill with devotion. Make sure those you convert view you as a father before making them your blood-children. One can only imagine what the centuries shall do to us, lord. But any man gets ideas above his station given time. If we truly do have all the time in the world, make sure those you turn are ones you would trust with a knife on a dark night. Să dansezi și să iei masa în întunericul etern, -First Scribe-Sanguine Ambrosius.
@grisharotov9735
3 жыл бұрын
Dear Lord and "Father" Oh yes, I do support this plan of ruling from the Shadows under the guise of being a loyal servant of Constantinople. "Brother" Ambrosius has already explained well why we should use the Orthodox Church as a source of Power and appear to be serving "in the name of the Emperor". He also has a good point to why we should not expand outside the old borders of the province of Dacia for now, but focusing on making these lands guarded by mighty mountains(isolation works in our favour) a safe haven where we can hopefully rule from The Shadows in peace without raising much if any suspicion. I also agree that "The Gift" should only be granted to a select few that have proven themselves just like me and my "brother" Ambrosius has. There must be no question about their loyalty lest we risk the very idea of our "Shadow Empire" is lost even before we have begun to implement it properly. Over time those that are worthy will fill the ranks of the Societas Draconistarum(Order of the Dragon) and you will have a loyal retinue of "gifted" knights to follow you into battle, it will however take time before this retinue is filled. Now all that is left for me to do is to give my full support to see that this plan is fulfilled over the ages. Your faithful "son" Gregorius Baron Societas Draconistarum.

If we do not bring them to the light of the church and soon, our Lord will be plagued by rebellions of Heathen serfs! Humbly Sir Kasimir Paznic

I am not sure how correct I am but much of Vlads history has been smeared by his enemies, mainly the merchants. Do not be fooled, he was as brutal as most rulers of the time having strong views against the homeless and criminals seeing them as nothing but leeches and I think he executed them.

Yeah, absolutely it was propaganda. It often informs popular depictions of effective and strife filled rules.

Prince Vlad the third Tepes the Impaler the historical Dracula was a sadist and is still one of these days an infamous tyrant. He is not guilty of one crime that he ironically is known for, Vlad was many things but he was no vampire.

Interesting fact, in Russia, Vlad The Impaler is called by his native nickname - Vlad Cepesh, and Pronzatel' (translation of Impaler into Russian) is his secondary nickname.

New Player Tip: Don't ingore you're Court, and don't just marry those people off to just anyone.. You can marry your couriers off to people with great skills or traits to replace the weaker people on your council. This also allows you to kind of "hand pick" people who have traits that you may wish to have your children learn. Also, if you have any females in court, marry them off to men with high marshal or Prowess to use as Knights. In the beginning of the game, it will save you lot of Gold and Prestige, by not having to Call in for new Knights.

Just incase you didn't know, your spouse also needs to be a vampire to have a child. Also a good idea could be to hunt down as many lycans as possible and create a guard dog army of sorts

Some recommendations for Vampirism trait: 1) Ability to create thralls or hypnotize people so they can't oppose you. 2) Creation of "Vampire Hunters" faction that try to hunt you down. 3) Ability to control progeny and make decisions for them. 4) You have to secretly adopt a counter Christianity religion because you'd be vulnerable to Holy Water and scared away by Crosses etc and if the Pope finds out he sends crusades after you.

I propose we title the "blood council" as the Centrifuge, as it will be the place wherein ideas are spun around, and from within, any impurities or pathogenic ideas will be purged and separated, leaving only pure, clean blood.
