Hi Tom.
well obviously I have had the advantage of studdying europeean history,
particularly around the 14th and 15th centuries, so this is a period I have
some knolidge of. indeed, it's one of the major ironies that spain, which
has often been considdered a miner power and for a very long period was
under foreigne rule, once it became independent quickly rose in station to
have massive influence and political standing in europe not to mention south
america, which is exactly why today spanish is I believe the 3rd most
commonly spoken language in the world besides manderin chinese and English.
If however it would require huge research on your part, fair enough, it was
just a suggestion to try and balance traditional vampire settings yet still
be outside the usual eastern europe or England.
Though having visited witby (indeed it's not that far from Durham), I can
understand completely wy bram stoker set a lot of the action of Dracula
there, sinse it's a very distinctive place with the tiny, but extremely old
and disused abby church set on the top of a hill overlooking the sea (the
scene where Dracula bights Lucy is set precisely at that place, as well as
cliffs that fall straight down with no beach and a lot of very narrow
streets below the massive hill).
This is however exactly what i mean by finding a worthwhile place to set a
vampire story in, where the actual eography and history of the place have a
baring on the story.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
