Not the wind on our face nor the spray of the sea. Nor the warmth of a woman's flesh. You best start believing in ghost stories, High Born.. you're in one!

[@Doomseer]

Honestly if Harkon wasn't so arrogant he could of no doubt negotiated with Lizard men and came to a mutually beneficial agreement where the Slad priests would mend his broken mind in exchange for Harkon swearing an unbreakable oath that at anytime they could call on him to come to their defense.

[@adamhadamcik385]

I doubt that lizards would make a deal with a vampire or any undead. They see undead as unnatural untrustworthy abominations which were never part of the great plan therefore must be purged

[@InquisitorThomas]

@@adamhadamcik385 it really depends on the individual Slaan you’re dealing with, if you’re dealing with someone like Mazdamundi he’d fry you on the spot, but a more pragmatic Slaan would probably be like “in 3000 years from Harkon will blunt a Skaven invasion that will wipe out the Vampire Coast while our city will remain safe, this is good for the Great Plan in the long run.”

[@Americandragonrider333.]

Pirate vampires a truly original idea. This originality is something I would like to see more of. I love Dracula and stories like that, there awesome. But vampire movies and shows nowadays are roughly the same, based in the inner cities (which is where they would be if they were real) and they deal in Criminal acts. It’s gotten kind of bland. And I guarantee that’s why there haven’t been many new vampire movies and shows for a while. Vampire pirates (legit pirates, the old school classic pirates) like with the Vampire Coast is something I think is a true original idea. Good for Warhammer for seeing ahead and having the mind set for something new. Lord Harmon and the Vampire Coast is pretty cool, thanks for giving us this knowledge with you’re Lore videos. Vampire Coast and it’s leader have quite the history. I truly love the originality of this whole idea! (If you couldn’t tell) To bad Hollywood has lost the capability for originality and things new. But when you go Woke, you lose everything! That’s just the way it is.
