[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 8268647, member: 7635"] So I've been "reading" the video [USER=11010]@Ash Mantle[/USER] posted as best I can. (On a laptop, its very readable.) Its taken a few hours to get through a 46 min video this way, but I've pulled some dread secrets from it. [spoiler] 1. Ivana Bortsi is a true no longer kills with her touch, but she is immune to poisons and an expect alchemist who can make poisons that mimic magical effects. She is physically ever youthful, which works in her favor with lovers but also means others don't take her seriously. Ivan Distiliya (sp) is an old decepit man who still thinks like a child and demands toys and amusement from others. He operates through letters that are magically delivered. The two dark lords are mirrors in some way (an old soul perpetually young, an old man with childlike tastes). Posion and politics are still big factors. 2.) Darkon is an apocalyptic wasteland since Azalin left, making the Requiem look like a summer day. The land itself is crumbling into the Mists, factions fight against each other, and anyone who dies rises up as an undead 24 hours later. But hey, no memory-curse anymore! 3.) Harkon Lucas is a werewolf and not a wolfwere. His origin is fairly unchanged, except he craves Fame and not Rulership. He only takes his male form now (sans monocle) but has family (esp his daughter) who mimics his appearance to boost their own fame. Kartakass is much more a lycanthrope domain, while the people are friendly and music is still important, they crave fame and admiration more than everything and passions boil over into werewolf attacks. 4.) Richetumont is a city under the effects of the Plague. It comes in waves and it's brought on by the rats. Jacqueline is the acting regent during this time, but she resents her life of luxery has been reduced to caring for commoners, so she doesn't do a good job of much but quarantining and leaving them to die. Actually, not true; she knows when the plague is over, she and her wererats will no longer be in power, so she does what she can to spread the plague and keep it going. Any connections to certain governments during certain recent pandemics are purely coincidence. 5.) Mordent is a land where everyone who dies there becomes a ghost, but Mordentish etiquette demands no one speak of it. Lord Godrey is using the Apparatus to try to find a way to end his afterlife and avoid his dead family. He uses ghostly spies to find interesting candidates to experiment on using the machine. All of which is a damn-sight more than he used to do. It's still a good "catch your breath" domain, but ghosts and incorporeal undead linger everywhere. [/spoiler] Those are just some of domains I read. I'll do more as time permits. Considering some of these topics have been discussed, I wanted to try to clarify things. [/QUOTE]
