The new topic is up: Dracula's Remains.

Also, there is a fair bit of fanfiction in it this time, because a new element is introduced. This element is my invention, but can't be fully explained yet.

It's good to see Drolta having plans other than "'sup?".

Soon, the next topic will be up. This one will be quite heavy on the fanfiction, but will start to connect things up. It'll deal with Nostradamus' prediction.

You mean the Antichrist?

Nostradamus' predictions of the final Antichrist doesn't have anything to do with Dracula as far as I'm aware of. It is never mentioned in-game nor is any connection made. This is the prophecy for the antichrist. Just one of many;

"Out of the country of greater Arabia
Shall be born a strong master of Muhammad
He will enter Europe wearing a blue turban
He will be the terror of mankind..."


Dracula doesn't arise from the Middle East, nor does he wear a blue turban. Instead he arises from Romania; his homeland. Also Dracula doesn't bring about third world war as does the third antichrist. Instead Dracula ushers in the Demon Castle War. WW III involves the entire world and is fought globally with chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, and lasts for 27 years straight. The DCW is relegated to Romania and Dracula's castle itself, and does not last for even a fraction of the time as does the antichrist's war.
"Spirituality is God's gift to humanity...
Religion is Man's flawed interpretation of Spirituality given back to humanity..."

Nope, the Great King of Terror prophecy. Also, what X said:

The DCW is relegated to Romania and Dracula's castle itself, and does not last for even a fraction of the time as does the antichrist's war.

Just to make it clear, there IS a King of Terror prophecy, in case you dudes are not aware (which I'm fairly certain you ARE aware). I'm just giving the whole thing a shake-up before posting about it.

New topic is up, and it deals with Nostradamus' prediction and a lot more things.

This is HEAVY on the fanfiction, so you are warned. Also, if anyone wishes to PM me to know something I have not explained, feel free.

Some things may not make much sense yet, but I assure, again, that they all will play their role on the final story. What I'm building here is the grounds to write it.

Very interesting, as always. I like how you reconnected real characters within the CV timeline. Even if it's more fanfiction-heavy, it still makes perfect sense so far. :)

Thanks!

I imagine who'll be the first to figure out Nostradamus' secrets before I spill the beans :rollseyes:

Gotcha, man :)

in fact, the story of the main event itself will be much smaller than the background I'm building. But I can't introduce certain elements in the story without building the background first. Nostradamus' mystery bit, for instance, will be quite short on the main event itself, but for it to make sense, I do need the wall-o-texts.

If it becomes a game, most of these wall of texts will be included in it in shortened formats as a "Library" for the story.

For the next topic I have two subjects I can post in any order. What do you want to see?:

Mystery character's origins or Julius Belmont's origins?

The mystery character is the one called ? ? ? ? ?

Voting for Julius too.
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

Then Lords of Shadow 2 just takes a big, semi-solid, smelly, pea-green dump all over everything.
