Leopold Dorginvin is a second generation Vampire of the Sanguin Bloodline, of whome was turned into a Vampire by the ancient first generation Vampire Godrick.
Leopold Dorginvin would lead the army of the Petty Kingdom of Upsal in its resistance to the invading Andals as they attacked the Kingdom of Oland, and during this fight he would lose his wife to the fighting and this caused him to have an almost emotional breakdown and swore an oath of vengeance against the Andals. Leopold Dorginvin would be fatally wounded during the pyranic victory that the Andals would have against his last stand at the capital of Upsal and while he lay dying he would be turned into a Vampire by Godrick who could not accept that this was the end for him. Philippe would side against his brother Napolean during the events of the Coup of Tollensia telling his father that Napolean had escaped his confinement and traveled to see his betrothed despite being commanded not to and it was this decision that led Louis to send Riley Eisenburg to the meeting to make sure that everything went as planned which would turn out to be a mistake when she would assist Leopold Dorginvin in protecting the Rouzet's.

| A Son and Daughter I never thought I would take a progeny. Never thought for one second that I would turn another person into this creature we are now. Looking at you and your sister so close to death I knew I had to save you. Even if by saving you I doomed you both. |

  The growing violence of the Lahmia court under Angelica Neferata would lead to Godrick leaving the court from Greece.
Having been given permission to leave Greece by Angelica Neferata it was Godrick, and his most loyal commanders Vincent Godfrey, and Romanos Threspotus that would leave joined by their entire bloodlines. Leaving Greece they travelled by river making there way northward, and travelling through Croatia they spent time in each of the kingdoms that they found. It was in Westros that they eventually found themselves and making a home in the ancient city of Lorderon they would spend several decades in the city. During their time there it was a divergence that begin to occur between the three Vampire Lords. Godrick begin to feel a pull towards the north as he had become obsessed with the ancient rumors of that northern land. For Vincent, and Romanos they begin to feel a pull towards the peace that felt a promice in the Valley of Lucerne which was an isolated and seemingly ungoverned land. This divide would eventually cause the three to split as Godrick travelled northward heading towards Norway, while Romanos and Vincent travelled to the Valley of Lucerne. Coming to Denmark[]traveled northward where he stayed for some time in Denmark. Living there for decades he was present as the flow of refugees started flowing in as a response to the Rise of the Andals and the exodus of the Vandal, and Goth people from Norway and Swedan. Seeing this and wanting to do something about what was going on he would travel into Swedan where following the flow of information in southern Swedan he eventually found his way into Northern Swedan where he would enter the court of the northern Vandal nation known as the Kingdom of Oland. Fighting with the Vandals[]Main Article : Fall of Oland   Jannok of the Andals would become the focal point of the Invasion as while she was teetering morally with the invasion, it was ultimately the corruption of her son that truly led to the end of the Vandals in Swedan. While Odin worked quickly to end the coruption of Jannok of which also led to the morality surviving moment for her two Daughters Rowena, and Valenia it was too late for Dannok of whom had given himself over to the Chaos Gods.
Entering the Kingdom of Oland he would discover the truth behind the stories being told in southern Swedan as he discovered the lands were being assaulted by the forces of Chaos who had taken control of the Andals, and the Andal nation known as the Empire of Kvenland. In this position he would enter the court of Oland where he became a powerful adviser to King Ulfrik Oland of whom he was honest with about being a Vampire and in this manner Ulfrik would begin to reveal the truth behind the situation with Kvenland. Describing to Godrick how months priot to Godrick's arrival the Andals of Kvenland had sent priests to his city trying to convert them to the worship of Chaos Gods and when he rejected this the Andals begin to be openly hostile. Wanting to resist the forces of Chaos due to his memory of Nagash, and everything evil in his life having been caused by the Chaos worshiping Nagash he would swear himself to the service of Ulfrik. Growing to trust Godrick it would be Ulfrik that would give command of a small group of Oland knights and using these forces Godrick would deliver several victories which led to his promotion by Ulfrik to the command of a significant portion of the Oland army to Godrick of whom fought with immense skill against the Andals delivering them two major defeats during his command.
Following a third defeat of the Andals by the army of Godrick the leader of the Andals in the form of Jannok would travel to the front with two of her children in the form of Dannok, and Valenia at the head of a massive army nearly two hundred thousand strong. The Vandal forces were no more then thirty thousand and exhausted from the constant fighting there moral was destroyed by the coming of this massive army, but Godrick was able to maintain some semblance of order during this time keeping the front from completely collapsing. Following the arrival of this massive army three of the petty kingdoms south of Oland would send forces northward now seeing the threat to themselves augmenting the forces of Oland to nearly sixty thousand but their numbers were still nothing compared to the numbers of the Andals. Jannok would split her forces into two attacking Oland from two opposite sides of the country forcing Godrick to split his army into two with himself leading the smaller army of twenty thousand and King Ulfrik leading the larger army against Dannok. A Son[]Eric Oland would be within the capital of Oland when his father suffered a devastating defeat against the forces of the Andals in the north and with the Oland army crushed and no longer able to defend the capital the Andals overran the defenses sacking the city and the palace where Eric had lived his entire life. Despite finally fighting against the Andals leading the towns defense during its final hour he would be defeated by the overwhelming numbers of Andals and lay mortally wounded beside his murdered sister and mother, and it was in this position where he was discovered by Godrick of whom had promised Eric's father he woulds save his son, and did this by turning the mortally wounded Eric into a Vampire. Hearts and Minds[]While her family was gone Rowena was the regent of the Andals and she would become the target of both sides of the Titan conflict when Odin sent his daughter Siggi and on his command she would travel into the lands of the Andals where she would become the voice of reason for the "Daughter of Flemeth" Jannok's daughter Rowena of whom was also being targeted by a Chaos agent, but Siggi would win in this battle allowing Rowena to remain uncorrected. With Rowena uncorupted she would spend the time as regent silently sending resources and support to the Kingdom of The End of Jannok[] 
Following the destruction of the Vandal Kingdom of Oland the lands of Swedan were basically open to the Invasion of the Andals, but for Jannok her role in the killings was too much and she was emotionally devastated by what she had caused including most painful of all being the complete moral loss of her son, and the increasingly declining morality of her daughter Valenia while they had been fighting. Returning to the capital of the Andals following the defeat of the Kingdom of Oland it was Jannok that would come to speak to her daughter Rowena of whom she sensed still retained her morality, and together after this discsussion it was Rowena that introduced her mother to Siggi. begin making plans to change the Andals back to their non-Chaos leaning religions. Supported by her two daughters Jannok would believe she had secretly put this plan in place, but shortly before it was to move forward she would be confronted in the Palace grounds of her kingdom by Flemeth and her son, and following a battle between the group it would Flemeth that took Jannok away leaving Dannok in command of the Andals, while Valenia, and Rowena would flee southward Last Stand of Upsal[]Main Article : Fall of Upsal  
The Kingdom of Upsal had been one of the three petty kingdoms which has sent aid to Oland during the invasion of the forces of the Andals, and thus the people of Upsal were aware of the consequences of the defeat of Oland, and in this way many in Upsal had begun fleeing southward including the Upsal royal family and most of the nobility leaving the army severly depleted, and thus allowing the Andals to move basically wherever they chose. The capital of the Kigndom of Upsal was the town of Upsal and it was here where Eric, and Godrick arrived and arriving there they discovered the town was preparing to fight in what amounted to a terrible last stand as they were horribly outnumbered by the coming Andals but Prince Leopold Dorginvin was unwilling to abandon the capital. A Daughter[]
Travelling southward following the meeting with Jannok it was Eric, and Godrick that would come upon the village of Nora Vonhesha and staying there for the night before making there way the final way to the capital of the larger southern petty Kingdom of Tonsul. Staying the night he and Eric would be within the village when it was assaulted by a vanguard force from the forces of the Andals of whom were still busy ransacking Oland but small groups were not moving southward. Filled with hatred over the deaths of his family Eric would refuse to retreat and Godrick was unwilling to leave him so the two would remain and fight alongside the Vandal defenders which led to them destroying the Andal force but following the battle Nora would be found dying and Godrick would take pity on her turning her into vampire and taking her with himself and Eric following this going southward. Denmark Civil War[]Main Article : Denmark Civil War   The Denmark Civil War was the last chance of Flemeth to exert real change as she was now being stalked by the forces of Odin, and with the Empire now mobilizing and her Andal children either dead or losing their mind she was on her last move.
As the non-Chaos aligned Germans begin fleeing Norway, and Swedan the main route of their escape outside of those who could find boats was through Denmark where the Imperium of Germania put in place a directive that the province of Denmark was to assist in their retreat and assist in them moving south where the goal was to overwhelm Central Europe with large amounts of Germans. This flow of Germans southward would continue for some time unopposed as thousands upon thousands of Germans escaped the Chaos Proselytism and made their way through Denmark, but the flow would grind to a halt when Flemeth entered the region of Denmark and targeted House Glusburg the most powerful of the merchant families of Copenhagen for corruption. Entering Copenhagen Flemeth would find little moral problems with the family especially its lord in the form of Alf Glusburg of whom was a fanatic when it came to resisting Chaos and was closely supported by several Sigmar Priests of whom kept Flemeth from ever really being able to get close to Alf. Unable to corrupt the leadership of House Glusburg she prepared to move on when the return of Isabel Glusburg, and her brother Theis Glusburg led to Flemeth taking another road when she was able to get close to the two siblings. Playing on their weakenesses she would fully corrupt both of them leading to their secret "'suicides" of which following this Isabel became a "Daughter of Flemeth" while Theis became one of the Dark Men.

Last Fight[]Rebekah and Marcel[]After the two years the situation was ended when they begin to plan for the end of the world by preparing to sacrifice the entire village at the same time. As they were about to go through with this the cultists came under attack by very pale, and swift fighting men clad in dark armor. A battle ensued where nearly the entire village was killed, but the cultists were all dead to the newcoming attackers. Rebekeh had been sliced across the stomach by one of the cultists and was going to die until Eric Oland would save her life by turning her into a Vampire. She would accompany her maker back to Weerhousen where she would become a member of the growing and powerful Sanguin Bloodline which was led by her maker`s maker in Godrick. Willa Doren[]Travelling westward she would enter the Empire of Metrovingia by the time she begin to show her pregnancy and it would be here where her end as a human came about as her child would be born stillborn and she would become extremely depressed following this eventually leading to her attempting suicide, but before she could she was turned into a Vampire by Eric Oland of whom saw something in her eyes as she was about to jump off a cliff. Salome Dontevh[]Salome would grow close to one of her fathers advisers in the form of Nora Vonhesha of whom had arrived in the lands of her father when Salome was only twelve years old and now sixteen she and Nora only grew closer. Salome Dontevh would be mortally wounded when Frankish bandits attacked her fathers farm killing her entire family but as she lay about to be killed by the same bandit who had already raped her she was saved by Nora Vonhesha of whom killed the bandit and then turned her into a Vampire. Pamala Belacourt[]Eventually her husband grew tired of her and hired assasins to have her killed but she was saved when Eric Olden listened into this deal and killed the assasins before turning her into a Vampire to save her and brought her to Weerhousen. |
The Founding of Weerhousen[]
Main Article : Weerhousen
| The Founding of Weerhousen We are the true gods of this world. We need to show the world what the gods of this world are capable of. Today we stop. Today we take ourselves a new home. |
|---|
 
With their new home chosen the Lahmians begin to look at expanding outside their own fortress of Lahmia City where they had made their home base and out into the regions around the city. This expansion was ordered by Queen Neferata of whome while being the figure head of the expansion was delegating the tasks of the actual operation to her Dukes of which Abhorash, and Ushoran would take the lead in this way. The two devised a plan where in Ushoran would use diplomacy and skilled civil management in order to annex different areas that were in the area, and while this was going on Abhorash was preparing the military of the Lahmians in order to militarily defeat the humans if they resisted. In the area there were only two major forces of resistence in the form of the Dutchy of Krieger, and the Confederacy of Gregior of which the Dutchy of Krieger was rumored to be quite powerful and led by an effective leader in House Krieger. While Ushoran moved towards the Confederacy of Gregior he sent Vashenesh and Hercuso to the Dutchy of Krieger where he hoped they could get them to submit easily and avoid any bloodshed. He would also send Fadil Heratee to the realm of Ravensburg where he would be ordered to meet with the leadership of that region in House Constein. Confederacy of Gregior[]Main Article : House Gregior The Confederacy of Gregior was built around its powerful House Gregior of whome controlled a large tract of a region east of Lahmian City, and they also had a vassal Kingdom in the city state of Crailsheim which provided them with economic, and manpower to fuel their growing realm. When Ushoran arrived in the Kingdom he was quick to buy off sell swords, and other people with swaying loyalty and from these people he learned of whom the power brokers were in the realm of which every person seemed to direct him towards House Gregior and its charismatic heir Breven Gregior. Ushoran was very impressed when he met Breven and he realized very quickly that he could save thousands of lives if he were to convince Breven to simply take his people and join with the growing Kingdom of Weerhousen. Ushoran used the only tool he had at his disposal after his bribary was rejected when he threatened to kill the entirety of House Gregior if he was not listened to. Breven called his bluff and Ushoran reluctantly heeded the words of W'Soran who told him he would make Breven understand that they meant business when they were discussing matter. W'Soran would absolutely annihilate nearly half of House Gregior after he and several of his Nechrarch Vampires used Magi to warp in demons to attack and kill members of House Gregior. Following this event the two would meet again and Breven realized what he was dealing with and he allowed the annexation of the Confederacy into the Kingdom of Weerhousen. Ravensburg[] 
Ravensburg was the area that Fadil Heretee was sent to in order to pacify and bring the city state of Ravensburg into the fold. He discovered upon arriving in the region that it was very poor, but its most pressing issue was dealing with the constant raids and invasions from the Trolloc dominated forests to the south. Fadil spent nearly two months building up support amongst the populated southern towns, and villages and his growing army prepared itself to invade the Trollocs. The next time the Trollocs invaded into Ravensburg land the army of Fadil was prepared and waiting for them, and the Trollocs were massacred on such a level that the people of Ravensburg begin to clamor for him to enter a control position within the council of Ravensburg. As he and his army made their way north towards Ravensburg they were opposed by a large force led by the towns leaders who feared his influence. The two armies would maneuver themselves for some time while Fadil waited for his reinforcements to arrive in the form of Soren from the Blood Dragons of whom arrived a week later and made his way to the city of Ravensburg which was now undefended and took control of the town under the banner of Fadil's army. With their city in their enemies hand and the people now obsessively in love with Fadil the army of the town begin to desert in massive numbers until three days after the fall of Ravensburg the army was a skeleton force and Fadil would surround the remainder with his force. No quarter would be offered these men and the remainder were massacred and their holdings and wealth distributed to those houses, and individuals that had not joined them and left Ravensburg. Dutchy of Krieger[]Main Article : House Krieger  
House Krieger was always going to be the section of Weerhousen that gave them the most trouble as it had a solid, and powerful army that was led by the effective and honorable House Krieger. The conversion of this land would begin when Vashenesh, and Hercuso crossed the border with many of their Vampire Bloodline and made their way to the capital of Krieger. When they arrived on the outskirts they were way lade by the town guard of whom said they could not enter and that a series of tents would be set up so that the council of Krieger could meet with them. Vashenesh accepted this and prepared to lead his men to the area they were told to wait, when all of a sudden Hercuso became agitated about this supposed insult and raised his weapon at the guard commander. |
| The Trolloc War These beasts are the only things standing between us and our destiny. I will not allow some creatures barely above cattle to slow the progress my people have made, and because of that I want them ruined. Leave no trace of them. Destroy their homes. Destroy their people. Destroy the very memory of them. |

War with the Trolloc[]See Also : Krax   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. As the vampires extended their influence, the Duke W'soran begin massacuring villages and settlements of Trolloc in his constant search for subjects. This got to such a point that the Trolloc of the region begin marshalling under a particularly powerful Trolloc named Krax. Krax beggining raiding local human villages and towns of W'soran, but this was the wrong area to try and insite retribution from since W'soran cared little if anything for the region. As the attacks continued the Trolloc begin spreading to other regions, and attacked a village controlled by the Duke Abhorash. This would be the moment where the attacks of Krax would finally meet resistence as the forces of Abhorash marsheled themselves to destroy the attacking Trollocs. Battle of Hornish Village[]Seeing his servants under attack and a chance for war, the brilliant Abhorash marshaled his army and moved to the village. When he arrived at the village, he found only a small attack force, and was at first disappointed by the little force arrayed against him. As he approached closer though his force was quickly surrounded by the total Trolloc force. Abhorash's army was surrounded by a Trolloc force that outnumbered his by 4-1, but this only egged him on and he pulled his forces in and prepared to withstand the coming attack. Abhorash was correct and the Trolloc did simply charge the Blood Dragon force. The Ambush[]Main Article : The Battle of Gurt The war with the Trolloc of Weerhousen appeared to be going without a hitch, and it wasn't 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 traveled throughout Europe in the shadows and had been doing whatever they wanted, and this had blinded 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 Vashenesh fought by the side of the Queen, and he held the carriage for more then twenty minutes against nearly two hundred Trolloc, as the convoy was slowly wiped out he became more and more surrounded until finally during the end the Trollocs were slashing him on the back as he couldn't get around to fight all of them. Finally a large Trolloc came in and was able to defeat the severely weakened Vashenesh and kill him with a brutal slash across the neck which left him nearly decapitated. 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 is a very notable thing that in a battle that involved her husband, and much of her retinue she spent the entire post battle holding the body of Vashenesh and didn't even go looking for her husband Hercuso who had somewhat fled the battle in order to survive. 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. Retribution[] |
Coup of Tollensia[]
Main Article : Coup of Tollensia
| The Coup of Tollensia You have been betrayed my wife. My family conspired with the Courtets and by now I fear much of your family may have perished in this. I promise you I knew nothing of this. |
|---|
 
The Coup of Tollensia would first truly begin in the ashes of the Frisian-Metrovingian War where against the wishes of House Courtet it was House Rouzet that had intervened in the conflict joining a coalition of nations against the Empire of Metrovingian and it was their involvement that tipped the scales and caused the defeat of the Empire of Metrovingian in this conflict. At the age of seventeen she would plan in secret a great surprise birthday celebration for her father, and in this endeavor she would travel westward to the family of her betrothed in Napolean Metrovingia with her uncle Theo Rouzet and cousin Lionel Rouzet. As the coup of Tollensia was reaching its final moments it was Isaac Courtet that would come to discover what was being planned and attempted to tell Victoria Rouzet before she left for the ambush but he would be stopped by his brother Mathias and following this he would remain in the House Courtet estates until a week after the coup was done with Hearing the Truth[]Philippe would side against his brother Napolean during the events of the Coup of Tollensia telling his father that Napolean had escaped his confinement and traveled to see his betrothed despite being commanded not to and it was this decision that led Louis to send Riley Eisenburg to the meeting to make sure that everything went as planned which would turn out to be a mistake when she would assist Leopold Dorginvin in protecting the Rouzet's. When they arrived in Metrovingia to plan her fathers birthday gift her betrothed in Napolean who by this point was eleven years old would meet her at the gates having been told of her coming by her most recent letter and seeing him crying at the gates she was concerned but only became distraught when he told her that the night after they left her families vassal in House Courtet had staged a coup and massacred most of House Rouzet placing themselves on the throne of the Kingdom of Tollensia. Fleeing Metrovingia[]Following the death of her uncle and near assassination of herself and her cousin she would continue to be helped by Napolean who led her out of the city and from there she fled southward with the guards Napolean had sent with her and she and her wounded cousin would make their way to Dresdan on the advise of Napolean and the entire ride there she cried for everything that she had lost. The Coup[]Janine, and her brother Stephane would be present at the Tollensia Palace with her family when the Coup against House Rouzet arrived and they would be captured by those leading the Coup and brought before a kangaroo court where the two were blamed for the murder of their parents and then executed becoming the scape goat for the coup. |
