Kingdom of Weerhousen

Weerhousen is a large Human Kingdom that lies in the region above the mountains of Lucerne.

The Kingdom is ruled by Queen Neferata, and her commanders, who are in the position of Dukes of her cities and control their specific areas of Weerhousen however they see fit.

Unknown to the rest of Europe, the Queen and her commanders, along with many loyal to the Royalty are in fact Vampires. This is a secret that is kept through the brutality of the state againsts its people. To betray the secret would be to encite instant death on everyone you knew.

Early History
As shocking as their current state is, at one point Weerhousen (or Lahmia as it was known then) was a very honorable Kingdom. Ruled by the kind and generous Queen Neferata its people were in love with their lot in life. This all came to an abrubt end when Queen Neferata was offered a sip from the Eternal Drink.

Krax the Trolloc
With the Vampires staking claim to regions in Weerhousen it was only a matter of time until they upset the massive Trolloc population of the area.

The Ambush
Main Article : The Battle of Gurt

The war with the Trolloc of Weerhousen appeared to be going without a hitch, and it wasnt until a massive army of Trollocs ambushed Queen Neferata that they realized they were in a very hostile land. While travelling from Lahmia City to Krieger the convoy was ambushed by a large force of Trolloc. The convoy was moving with Queen Neferata, Vashenesh, Hurcuso, and a number of Vash Consteins vampires, so they were almost cocky in their arrogance. The vampires had travelled throughout Europe in the shadows and had been doing whatever they wanted, and this had blided them to fact that they could be killed. Ushoran said it best later on.

"The Queen had taken us throughout Europe, and in those hundreds of years we had killed mountains of people, and stolen an endless amount of things. All this had been done in the shadows. In the secretive way of our lives, the Queen and the rest of them forgot that we could be killed."

-Ushoran

The Battle itself would end with the deaths of every vampire and human gaurd in the convoy except for the Queen and Hurcuso. When the Queen saw her beloved Vashenesh lying dead in front of her surrounded by dozens of Trolloc that were trying to kill her, she wept tears of blood. It was only out of luck that W'Soran arrived and was able to resurect Vashenesh that saved him from death, and Queen Neferata from madness.

Points of Interest
Each Duke is responsible for one of the major cities in Weerhousen. This policy has led to an extreme divergance in the way each city appears in the kingdom. Whether it is the harsh warrior culture of the Blood Dragons city of Krieger, or the nightmare city of Ushoran where the citizens are taken from the street and used in experiments.
