eneath the Howling Hills, the Vampire Waldakir Rahtep is forced to abandon his foul experiments and defend his lair...

The second Empire scouting party had been obliterated as swiftly as the first, but this victory did not set Waldakir at ease. Whilst it was clear that the lackeys of Karl Franz were searching for something, Waldakir could not be sure whether or not that something was him.

It was possible that Waldakir's forays into Talabheim had finally drawn enough attention to merit a determined hunt. Possible, but unlikely. However, one does not remain alive and immortal by taking reckless chances.

Waldakir took wing to the haunted land of Sylvania. As one of the eldest of his kind, other Vampires heeded his call. Many of Sylvania's Undead had been leaderless since the death of Mannfred von Carstein and were easily bent to Waldakir's will. Those that he could not dominate, he deceived. Those he could not deceive, he slew. In a matter of days, Rahtep had roused a mighty host, a host that swiftly descended upon Stirland.

After setting the wheels in motion, Waldakir swiftly returned to his lair. The plan was working. In Waldakir's absence, the Undead host had soon overwhelmed the garrisons of Stufbad and Tymvald. None but a fool would waste time hunting for a hidden Vampire when so many Undead were in plain sight.

Waldakir was pleased. He was in receipt of plenty of raw material from the failed incursions into his lair, a new Undead realm could yet spring from the ruins of the eastern Empire, while the attentions of Waldakir's enemies remain fixed elsewhere...

Objective - The Vampire Counts, dominated by the ancient and evil Waldakir Rahtep, plan to reap the harvest of war and gather the dead as raw material to swell his Undead horde. A new Undead realm shall spring from the ruins of the eastern Empire, with Waldakir as its dark overlord. For every Vampire Counts victory, Waldakir’s evil plan is advanced, whilst the realms of the mortal races grow weaker.
