Vampires strike me as covert, and personally if I were a vampire lord taking power from a nation I'd let them keep the notion that nothing is wrong. Or that something IS wrong, but its the Empra's son doing it. Its not. He's either NOT going to tell them, or he's going to tell them "YOU [B]are[/B] going to dig them up. Do you get me?" And this whole digging thing? It could really just some kind of...."mining" project or the like or a vague magical artifact thats beneficial to the people. He could reasonably lie to them. ----------- EDIT: Wait I might have misread/presumed something. The nation DOESNT know (but the PCs do?) that the Emperors son is being impersonated OR the nation WILL know because he's going to kill the Emperor and then *poof* "I'm really a vampire and your nation is mine now!" ?
