Winterholt
Winterholt is a small coliseum that was built in Myrkrania at the behest of Count Magnus Draghul. It serves as the venue for gladiatorial games in which serfs who have displeased the Count must face each other in battles to the death before a rapt audience.
• The blood sport that takes place in Winterholt provides a spectacle that pleases the most sadistic of the Count’s subjects and offers as a bloody reminder of the price of disobeying Magnus Draghul.
• It is possible for the gladiators of Winterholt to rise in popularity and fame if they prove proficient at cutting down their fellow combatants.
• However, if a gladiator’s prestige rises too highly, they are inevitably matched against Astor Krory—an unbeaten vampire pugilist who has thus far killed all of his opponents with nothing more than his bare hands.
Zagrev Castle
Zagrev Castle is a baleful fortress in Mykrania that is under the control of the Hara clan, a family who claims to have immigrated from an unknown country to the far east of Krevborna.
• The Hara clan pledged their fealty to the House of Draghul and are fully prepared to fight on the Count’s behalf should their aid ever be requested.
• The Hara family do not take their oath to Magnus Draghul lightly—the more bellicose members of the family are even eager to prove their worth to their generous benefactor.
• The Hara clan hide their true natures behind the carefully maintained facade of being honorable warriors from abroad.
• The Hara clan are not actually a “family”; they are demons who were chased from a faraway land by exorcists and monster hunters native to that distant island nation.
