    If you need another hook, Tilea and Estalia are now overrun with Skaven. There's not much left - but maybe your guys very smartly got out while the getting was good, and are now raising troops to retake (or just take) lost lands!
    Indeed! Now just need to find our local Skaven player and work out a campaign...

    I will say for one thing that it strikes me as a little strange that the Von Carstein's would willingly support Nagash, seeing as how he would just dominate them. They've always seemed fairly independent-minded, along the same vein (pun intended) as Neferata; ie. seek to build and rule their own Undead Empire -- like Vlad always wanted.

    Mannfred thought he could manipulate Nagash and use his power as his own; he can't. He didn't understand how utterly beyond him Nagash is. It is a subtext that not many of Nagash's nine Mortarchs actually like him very much, it's just that either there's nothing they can do about it - he can destroy you utterly without even trying - or there's something they can get from hitching their wagon to his. Vlad wants Isabella back; Mannfred still wants to rule and is now trying to find a way to slip away from Nagash's hold over him. Neferata wanted Lahmia back.

    It's pretty nuanced. You're right, and I'm glad they've addressed it. It's a very loose alliance. At the end, Khalida bends her knee to Nagash, but only because it gives her an excellent opportunity to seek revenge on Neferata.

    So if there are nine Mortarch's and Arkhan, Mannfred, Neferata, Krell and Vlad are five of them, who are the other four? Are they named at all in the book?
    Either there is life in the universe more intelligent than us, or we are the most intelligent form of life in the universe. Either way, it's a worrying thought!

    Two others I can think of straight off the bat (PUN!)

    The Nameless - Remains so, though I suspect it might be Drachenfels...

    That Vampire from the Vampire Coast.

    Also, I think, but don't quote me, Dieter Helsnicht may have been one?

    Walach Harkon, The Nameless (who is Constant Drachenfels from the Genevieve Books, 99% sure), Dieter Helsnicht, and the Vampire King of the Pirate Coast, What'shisname Harkon.

    Thats them!

    At least two are out for the count already.

    I won't reveal who or how, as even my spoilers have their limits! (no reason others can't though. I'm no paragon of spoilerdom!)

    (Random side note, but I can't help laughing at there being a Mortarch of Drachenfels because I have been to the Drachenfels Castle in Germany and it is very suited to having a vampire ruling over it.)

    Drachenfels wasn't a Vampire, he was a discorparate spirit which would possess a body until it rotted away, and then he would possess a new host.....

    Hmmm now to think about it, how DO you truely kill a spirit?
