Disciple of Nagash said:Thank you! Great to see your on CN as well. I don't suppose you created any other maps? I did try looking to see if there were others for the rest of the old world but couldn't find any?

I only need to question why is Waldenhoff listed as a small settlement/ town?
I still have it one of the books somewhere that Waldenhoff is the capital of Slavania. (Drakenhoff is a castle with a small town to supply it)
I'm totally saving this map for later, no clue what for but it is sure to be awesome. XD

A capital city can not be in fact a castle but at the same time in war the castles are what you need to control rather than the cities as they over see the main roads and what have you.
It has been some thousand years though and it is still substantially smaller.
In the TVC yes but in the lore it is not, its akin to saying London is not the capital but in fact Windsor castle is. (obviously not but a equal representation, I would say tower of London but being in the city does not help in this regard)
Regardless the only reason Drakenhof came to power was the Von Drak family, the capital far out dates themselves but that was the ruling families ancestral home.

In the Lore it's been stated to be the that Sylvania is now the De Jure Capital.

As I am out and about without the book to hand I will ask.
"To be the that Sylvania"
Is there a word thats been missed out by accident as I can't make sense of the sentence.
I will however have a hunt for printed sources that show Waldenhoff as the capital, just tonight my goals are to read the new chaos army book. :thumbsup:
Duke Danse Macabre said:I will give you that.
The Center of Government in the times of the vampires is Drakenhof without a doubt as it is in essence a fortress, can't think of a safer place to rule from.
Also when you don't need food to sustain you're armies requiring crops and the people to crow them which come with towns and cities is a waste of time unless you want a midnight snack.
The capital city though as the realms major population center is Waldenhoff.
Damn it I wish they would just hurry up and bring back Vlad, Mannfred needs a spanking.
