Re: What does Mainline know about Vampires?
Well, I'll have to wait then if the campaign will ever be created. A pityThe campaign currently only has the first scenario or the intro (depending on what works best) done... story-wise... on paper...

This tread was not about expressing how much you like wrong perspectives, Crow_T, it has the sole purpose to find out what a mainline vampire is, and so, your post has nothing to add but confusion.
I do not ask for an apology, but I do ask that should you like to post here, do so with the intent to add something constructive and on topic, not with the intent to troll or something of the like.
And yes, i have posted off-topic, although it was to end, and not to continue.
Why I use debug, you say? I like the stories, not the actual fighting.

Re: What does Mainline know about Vampires?
...another reason I'm not in favor of the viral explaination:
we can assume that main characters or other units are bitten in TRoW - no allowance is made in the plot for effects of the virus, even if it doesn't neccesarilly make vampires.
In addition - ghouls and necrophages don't really get much by means of an explaination - it says something to the effect of these are horrible people who have really bad undead voodoo done on them while still alive -with this explaination sufficient for a mainline unit, I think it is no strech to apply it to vampires as well.

I agree. Fix,This tread was not about expressing how much you like wrong perspectives, Crow_T, it has the sole purpose to find out what a mainline vampire is, and so, your post has nothing to add but confusion.
Spoiler:
Yeah I think "virus" - even the word itself, doesn't fit into a Wesnoth kind of fantasy setting.

What if...
We combine this:

Re: What does Mainline know about Vampires?
That's why I used the Runes, it's unlikely that a Runemaster would help Nercromancers to create something evil and all runemasters died with Thursagan as written in THoT.With the fact that they are extremely rare because no one really knows how to make a "vampire"?

lot's'a hmm...
approves that Jeffers0n makes sense
decides to go to the bottom of where the only vampire we know of came from (Probability that help from people who create mainline lore is needed is 100%-isch)
maybe wesfolk-ian necromancy
notes may be destroyed or whole, idk -if whole, a whole lot easier to create the right... say... circumstances
knowledge of when the cursed island was cursed will simplify things.
EDIT: So mad, decides to watch Anime, will be gone in periods of 22 minutes

Re: What does Mainline know about Vampires?
Unlikely, the Wesfolk came to the Great Continent after the Vampire settled on the Isle of the Cursed.maybe wesfolk-ian necromancy
That Vampire was probably created by magical means unknown.
Re: What does Mainline know about Vampires?
If one could explore wesnoth in detail, I would search day and night for the documents recording the creation of that lady. :hellyeaface:Jeffers0n wrote:Unlikely, the Wesfolk came to the Great Continent after the Vampire settled on the Isle of the Cursed.maybe wesfolk-ian necromancy

...Granted i get to explore it as it was before the fall...
I also need to keep myself in control so that I won't accidentually PM any active lore-devs, I hate to be pushy. Instead, I like to wait, after i've stated my problem or request, for someone who can help me and also willingly does that... or just tells me what to do.

Re: What does Mainline know about Vampires?
Two things:
There's a vampire faction in the Era of Myths (and the various successor eras). They act like generic fantasy vampires.
There was a plan for vampires in thunderstone.The idea was that a vampire is what results when someone who is not an elf (or otherwise faerie-related) tries to use faerie magic and survives. The magic transforms them and uses their life as raw materials in some manner, requiring them to feed on other people to sustain themselves.
Neither of these is mainline, so feel free to ignore them. (there isn't really anything about mainline vampires to find out. There is exactly one vampire in mainline, so her existence is all that's canon)

So I've come up with something that actually might work for the plot:

Re: What does Mainline know about Vampires?
good enough, but I do not think there really need be any explaination whatsoever. I mean since the TRoW storyline is set in ye dayes of yore, it could have been a nasty old lady with a broom that the prince didn't want to look like a pussy for running from
...apparenly we can't go with it or something.
Re: What does Mainline know about Vampires?
I don't think humans can use faerie magic in any way, because Elves are bound to the Faerie and humans are not.

Joke aside, what could possibly happen to a human if he/she dies from use of Faerie magic?
I bet it would be extremely painful, since it would probably rip them apart to smithereens because of the inconvenient bland of mundane and arcane, and then burn them to fine coal dust which would then spread with the wind
And then ... what would be the outcome of a vampire drinking the blood of a faerie? HMMMM!!!...
(You probably know what kind of outcome i'm aiming for, although it might not be especially accurate(my outcome)

yes, ok, i can think of a few:
