Hi there I've finaly got round to playing OoE I saw something that really made me wonder
Each time Dracula returned from the dead, the Belmont clan fought him in shadows, wielding the holy whip.
Through their efforts, humanity avoided darkness, securing prosperity.
But early in the 19th century, having lost their ability to resist the darkness, those in positions of power at the time began to search for new ways to counter Dracula.
Now when I first saw this I took it to mean that the everyday people lost there powers to resist the darkness. But then I wondered was it that, or did it mean that it was the belmonts had lost the power.
And if this is the case then it fits in with my head canon of having richter cursed after shaft's spell.
And him having to under go a purification ritual to rid all his descendants of this cruse at the cost of his lifespan, as the curse was soo powerful.
BUT However there is a huge flaw in this as it Says 19th, and SoTN was set in 1797, so I really feel that this
would have come up sooner.
So if anyone Can shed some light on this that would be really kind.
