Brencis’s Court

Brencis’ regime depends on his vrakhiri vassals. Discover and disrupt their activities in order to unlock their quests. Completing them will weaken Brencis’ defences - but also alert him to the danger you pose to his rule.

When Anger Level reaches maximum, you will unlock a sidequest tied to this vrakhir.

Ambrus's lands stretch across the northern parts of Vale Sangora. He manages the supply chain of human blood for Brencis and his vrakhir allies – from bleeding prisoners to transporting and storing blood for future use. As the youngest vrakhir in the valley, turned only during Brencis's takeover, Ambrus has a lot to prove – both his competence and his loyalty to his sire. And he loves to make a show of it all, carrying himself with flamboyance and flair. The odd thing about him is – he seems to still genuinely enjoy the company of humans over that of other vrakhiri.

Bakir rules over the southwestern parts of Vale Sangora. The Mad Khan keeps the valley's population obedient and anyone wise enough knows that he is not to be crossed: as an experienced warrior with unabashed enjoyment of cruelty, he makes a formidable opponent. Bakir oversees handing out the rewards to the supporters of the regime, as well as doling out punishments to dissidents. And every now and then, he makes it into a grotesque game show. It’s difficult to say when he’s more terrifying – when he wants to kill you, or when he wants to be your friend.

Xanthe watches over the southeastern parts of Vale Sangora. The boyaress is procuring supernatural advantages for Brencis's army – she conducts bizarre experiments, grows the Blood Guard ranks, and unearths the valley's ancient secrets. She had lived here for centuries, long before the new knyaz arrived and staged his takeover. What reasons she has to pledge obedience to a vrakhir younger than her – no one knows. It could be simple convenience... or something far more perturbing.

Cathedral Ritual

Going against Brencis's wishes, Xanthe turned one of the cathedral workers into a murohn. The knyaz will find out soon - and this means discord among the vrakhiri.

Brencis

The Knyaz of Vale Sangora, our usurper. Born in the ancient Roman Empire, he comes from a faraway land, and is still vividly proud of his past and his heritage. He rules the valley together with his three vrakhir boyars ever since his takeover two years ago. Many believe he saved us – and yes, in a way he did – but he did not do it for us. And little by little, the people of Vale Sangora are finding out that he is not the benevolent knyaz he claimed to be. He took residence in Greifberg Castle above Svartrau, from where he oversees everything. It won't be easy to get to him in his fortress – but difficult doesn't mean impossible.
