The Old World: Blood Knights of the Vampire Counts for 13th Age #MonsterMonday

#MonsterMonday




The Blood Knights were once an honorable brotherhood of Imperial Knights that had dedicated their lives to protecting the lands just west of the Imperial province of Wissenland. However, after their horrific transformation into Vampires, these once noble Knights have since become the bearers of the unholy blood of the Blood Dragon bloodline. This transformation came about when an unexpected visitor demanded entrance into the confines of Blood Keep in the Imperial year of 1887. This man held the name of Walach Harkon, a student of the Vampire Firstborn Abhorash himself. In one single night, Walach Harkon had personally dueled and slain every single member of the original Knights of the Blood Dragons, and turn those he deemed worthy into Vampires.

Corrupted by the influence of the Vampiric curse, these once noble Knights have been unwillingly turned into the monstrosities they swore themselves to hunt down and defeat in the name of the people and the villages under their lordship. Blood Keep became a Vampire lair, from which the deathly knights preyed upon those they once protected and loved.

Ashes Without Number

Even though my interest in the OSR has waned a bit I still really appreciate the work that Kevin Crawford has down with Stars Without Number...
