Yes Dark, I know it well. It was called "son of the dragon" and I won't say any more on that subject since everyone can look it up in their own time.

Indeed, the b15th century might be a night point, sinse you could still have paladins, nights, archers etc, plus perhaps classes who use muskits (albeit that they'd take forever to load), as well as priest or even alchemists, but have a completely believeable setting and a historical backing for the vampire. for example, suppose you called your vampire brutus, with the idea that he was around sinse Roman times, had his little empire in spain that was now threatened by the unification of the country and the expanding power of the church. he could have roman armor and weapons, perhaps even some shrines to nastier roman gods such as pluto, ut would also be a man of his time, perhaps with his own army, merciaries etc. i often think indeed that with vampires and warewolves, history before! the 19th century gets rather ignored in a lot of ways, sinse after all the real! count vlad tepes dracula was quite an interesting character, and is still regarded as something of a national hero in parts of rumania because of the way he fought off the tirkish empire, including his brother who was raised in the tirkish court, was defeated, but then came back to take back his country from the tirks at the head of any army he'd managed to raise from the neighboring kingdom. At the same time however, he was just as brutal with criminals and those who disagreed with him as history says, with him being vlad the impailer, although from his own perspective impailing was seen as a correct punishment for those who trangessed the lore of god and of God's devinely appointed nobility. (there was a really nice recent Doctor who audio dara drama all about the historical Vlad tepes, which made him out to be an incredibly fascinating character and made me do a little extra researc, another thing of course that is good about Doctor who).
