This time I present another individual warband sneak peek, The Mircalac!

During the Raduprazna Wars, the vampir of the ruling Vurdolac and the rebellious Vladrac both quickly came to the realization that, if either hoped to defeat the other, they would need to devote their entire focus to the ongoing conflicts without the constant distraction of overseeing their human chattel and so began concurrent efforts to breed a new line of vampir to fill the role. These were to be more effective and efficient than their predecessors, seeming beautiful and regal to human eyes and so naturally guide them in their continued servitude and freeing the Vurdolac and Vladrac to fully wage their wars against one another. At first, these "Mircalac" performed their task dutifully and well, but as the wars ground toward their inevitable end and the Vurdolac and Vladrac began to become ever more withdrawn, the Mircalac began to see themselves as the true rulers of Morgulia. After all, was it not they, through their Boyar servants who ruled the masses of humanity? While too cunning to openly revolt as the Vladrac had before them, the Miracalac began to indulge this sense of rightful authority soon began to become ever more decadent and debauched, indulging in every whim no matter how perverse or blasphemous, eventually withdrawing almost entirely as the older vampir had, in order to loll in indolent pleasures without the distractions of responsibility, even as those pleasures became ever more debased and horrific, leading to the rise of the corrupt Boyar lines as the defacto rulers of Morgulia.

This decadent indolence was eventually to be interrupted however as, for a single night, the sky turned blood red at the passing of The Black Star. The Mircalac stared, bleary eyed, from their pleasure palaces and, for the first time in generations became interested in the events outside their walls. Times had finally become interesting... Now rumors spread of beautiful lords and ladies, travelling through the night, and entire groups of other travelers discovered, violated and drained of blood but with looks of pure ecstasy etched upon their faces, and grandmothers whisper that the lords and ladies of their youths have returned to turn all the lands to the satiation of their own terrible lusts once more.

So what makes Mircalac different from the other Vampir from a game standpoint? The Mircalac are possessed of both a seeming languor and inhuman speed and so may reroll their roll to see who goes first each Round. Moreover, Mircalac are easily able to masquerade as noble humans and so always count the Rarity of items as being one level lower than indicated when searching for rare items.
Mircalac warbands also have access to Abilities and Spells that play well to both their supernatural speed and decadent nature. The Unnatural Speed Ability increases their Initiative characteristic by 1 while they are in close combat and their Blood Sorcerers have access to the spell "Spasm of Ecstasy" which can, potentially, cause all other warriors within 3" of them to fall to the ground, writhing in pleasure.

Should you happen to see a pale lord or lady in your nightly travels, pray that they find you of little interest!
