Sylvania (Mortal Empires) Command

Necrarch Vampire Lord

As a Vampire ages, his powers increase. He becomes physically stronger and faster, until he is able to tear a man in half and move as fast as the wind. He is able to call upon a host of powers, the nature of which vary from Vampire to Vampire. Some can call forth creatures such as wolves and bats to assail the armies of the living, and sometimes they can even learn how to change into these forms. Others are able to mesmerise weak-willed mortals with barely a glance. If the Vampire has a strong affinity for magic, then his necromantic abilities expand both naturally and through study. Despite these awe-inspiring powers, however, there is a terrible price to pay. As the decades become centuries, many Vampires lose their minds, sliding inexorably into madness.

Abilities

• Dark Protection
  "If you need the strength, then turn to me…"
• Arcane Conduit
  A strong mind is needed to channel the Winds of Magic. Those that have such a gift become arcane conduits - funnelling the magical tempests to their cause.
• The Hunger
  As the Vampires rip apart their victims they feast on the blood that spills forth – gaining in strength and lost stamina.
• Crumbling
  The dead do not rest easily in the Old World. Those summoned by Vampires and Necromancers no longer have mortal concerns - they serve only their master's will.
• Disintegrating
  The Dark Magic binding has failed. Both flesh and necromantic energy slough off the subjects, leaving naught but dust.
