A new Darklord for Pardion

Post by Hogan Van Monsterband »

So, I don't like Sodo. My Pardion's very influenced by From Hell, and so it seems like the Darklord should be someone who is more intimately tied to the life of the Domain than a shadowy mastermind who's not part of the city's power structure. I'd like to see a Darklord more akin to William Gull, someone insane but well-connected and tied into the whole Divinity of Man thing, but just having a murderous aristocrat seems a little obvious. What do you guys suggest?

In a campaign I played in for an extend period, Sodo was killed and replaced by a son of his. His son had great dificulty changing shape and took about a week or so to do so. As such he mostly remained under on persona for a long period. He has a fighter and felt the city more of a restriction to him, seeing that he could not leave. He went down route similar to Vlad Drakov, he militerised the city in a colonial british way, pushing the use to firearms and hoping to get a foothold outside a mistway.

Someone resembling Oliver Cromwell might do for it. Just change what he believes in, but make him no less fanatical...
"The words read 'Death shall come on swift wings to he who disturbs the rest of Oleg Darkaxe.' I think 'Death' is a metaphor: the 'death' of our poor lives and birth of lives of wealth after we loot this tomb. So, let's see what we have inside."

When you have a moment, you can read Paridon: the Dark Metropolis.

How would you like Alekalargo Combledorn?
