Vampires have a unique trait called “Obedience to the Vampires”, meaning that for every ten percent of Vampiric corruption present in a province, they gain one point of public order. To Vampire Counts-controlled provinces, maintaining high corruption is essential, as it represents how well the Vampires are controlling the remainder of the living populace. Should an uprising occur in a region with a large amount of Vampiric Corruption, a Necromancer may appear, unleashing the dead upon the living. In short, the presence of Vampiric corruption causes problems to the public order in provinces belonging to living races and any living army in a region under the dark influence of Vampires will suffer attrition. As starvation and terror takes its toll, slowly but surely society collapses and the land itself turns into stuff of nightmare. Villagers go missing in the nights and terrifying screams can be heard in the darkness. The inhabitants will soon find that their crops start to fail as putrid bogs form in their fields and bloodthirsty abominations are glimpsed in their once peaceful forests. Operating under the cover of darkness, they can infiltrate the realms of men and perform foul rituals that draw Dark Magic into the lands. Vampire Counts Heroes such as Necromancers and Banshees, are the vanguard. As the Vampires and their underlings spread, their influence does also.
Unfortunately for the living, Vampiric corruption is not constrained to the sinister realms of Sylvania and Mousillon. Skies darken and the spirits of the dead stir, shrieking and clawing at any living trespassers that dare venture into these wretched lands.
Trees wither and a miasma of balefire smoke rolls across the landscape. It is the nature of Dark Magic to be drawn to itself, and as more and more of these foul energies accumulate, the land itself becomes blighted and accursed.
Vampires are corrupt creatures by nature, their undead bodies sustained by Dark Magic and the blood of their victims. We all know the ruinous effects that Chaos corruption can bring to the landscape of the Old World, so Campaign Designer Eva Jobse spoke to us about a more subtle and sinister form of corruption: Vampiric influence.
