Ah, Vorlog! Delight of delights You killed my Celebrants, and you gave their deaths to me Preaching: I have seen the truth in bronze glass space This shape is the only god Exquisite Vorlog Your strength was manifold; it was knight strength Mastery of armaments and techniques It was wizard strength, the use of arcana Praise Vorlog, general and pragmatist Vorlog! Listen — Your name means Less Than Me I define it thus.

Vampiric Companion: Vorlog

“Despair has its own claims:- Dracula

When a vampire uses the power “willing slave”, the creature becomes known as a “Vorlog” a creature who is utterly dedicated to their master.  However, Master Vampires, Dracula, and Nosferatu can use a more powerful version, called “The Dark Kiss” which doesn’t just alter their behavior, it actually makes them into a different more powerful creature known as a Vorlog, a powerful creature who can use its power.  Vorlogs look like normal humans who have a slight fever and if you look really closely they have slightly sharp claws.  Normally the Vorlog is a slave who must serve its master, but once its master dies they become free...albiet with extreme mental damage.  However if the Vorlog willingly became a vorlog, they stay that way even after their master dies, which can be....a problem.  They go increasingly insane and lonely, pinning for their master, and they normally do one of three things.  1) To try to avenge their master 2) Drain the wisdom of mortals and pretend that the wisdom drained mortal is in fact their “Master”.  3) Find a new vampire to serve.  Its pretty sick.
