so sorry to ask all these questions so late, but im a big fan of the worldbuilding in the games so i had a few!! (mostly just for a longer fic i work on sometimes since i like the pureblood witches so much.. i love characters with complicated expressions of love that are just, so bad at it, maybe thats why i like palmier so much lol)
in earlier versions of bewitching sinners, we learn about darah, who is implied to be the pureblood witch of blood, decay and shadow! it's also implied that she could command her subjects so long as blood ran through their veins.
however, there is also an npc who talks about a deity called lilith, who was the 'first vampire' and later on that they uncovered that she was a pureblood witch who had power over blood! i was just wondering if these two characters are one and the same?
there's also a witch named hades(?) or someone who was implied to be close with kor and seth, can we know what their domain was if its not something that might be explored in bsrb?
and! i saw above that the vortec empire isn't that advanced, but there was rumors by students that the empire had flying ships? is this just propaganda being spread around by bored students on campus? :0
one last one, just because i love dragons in fantasy settings! there's a little tidbit on 'phoenix leaf' that implies it's the best insulator for dragon eggs, is this us being utterly scammed by my lovely merchant sir dietrich?? or was there at some point, actually dragons in bs world?
Viewing post in General Q n A thread
hi no prob n I love such questions so have at it!
Lillith and Darah are different entities, Darah and Seth created vamps together, Lilith was their first successful vamp who had witch like powers like Alexei, she is canonically a vamp but due to her powers like Alexei, some think of her as a witch. Basically misinformation by lack of knowledge like Kor’s misinterpreted ‘death’
Hades was Seth’s disciple who had powers similar to medusa in which he turned things to stone and to an extent can change the atoms of inanimated objects but he cannot transform/change live beings like Seth. Hades is long dead now, but before I imagine him having a stone henge/Scotland vibe domain with scattered statues around.
Seth, Darah, and Lillith are a trio in terms Seth and Darah both had the power to spread death but Seth is the only who can zombify and rebirth creatures, changing their genes into a new, Darah was the only witch that can control blood, I think The best way to think of Darah and Hades relationship with Seth is Seth thinks of them as their students/disciples. Just a trio of macabre obsessed weirdos like the adams family
For the airships, its mostly rumors. Vortec is still technically advanced in terms of non magical inventions, and were in progress of making flying ships (in a literal sense of a ship that can fly, like in treasure island if you have seen that movie) but that invention faltered and vamps still rely on Vilebloods for flight instead. Basically steam engines and such was made by Vortec, while Ignians inventions all relied on magic hence they can teleport n such but can’t replicate with machinery.
For pheonix leaf there were actual dragons, but if they still exist now, they don’t make themselves known. Dietrich still use that as a slogan because they were in fact used to warm dragon eggs back in the day.
all of these are so fascinating to me, i liked seth even though he was one of the villians in the original because the witches all felt so charming with how quickly things turned bad for them all, especially for kor and io n it always felt like ivar and seth mightve both wanted to set them free if they only had the means ;m;
unfortunately seth probably had the same issues as palmier but like. a thousandfold worse in the way he went about it with others.
only one more, because i forgot about them since i hadnt done thane's route in a while, will we get to learn more about the witch of despair and the duchess they tried to save from being made into a vileblood in bsrb? no worries if not, i dont want you to push yourself to add more threads to what already looks like a big undertaking with how cool the vortec empire's story is!!
thank u for the super cool world, i adore so many of the characters and how neatly so many of them tie into eachother with their dynamics <3
