Back to CryptoCrypt
Back to the Vampyric Wars
Dreadcoffin
The legendary coffin-tomb device constructed to protect and regenerate Vhadxi, Lord of the Vampyres. Following the treacherous stabbing committed by his Queen Adhnaten his body was carried by his dark minions to the coffin and he arose once again, his unlife proving too strong to be extinguished.
"Zounds! I must have slept wrong or something... Manservant, why didn't you wake me earlier."
"Um..." Vhadxi's vassal trailed off a bit, unsure how to break the news to his ferocious lord, "The thing is, you weren't just having a nap, sir."
"Really."
"Lady Adhanten... she... how should I say... stabbed you in the back."
"You don't say?"
"I must admit, you're taking this rather well, my Lord."
"Verily... a bit cliche'd, isn't it? I didn't expect that she would turn out to be such a... such a..."
"Backstabber, Sir?"
"Yes..." Vhadxi sighed deeply, "I suppose so. Just a bit... obvious you know. I'm a bit disappointed in myself. Maybe I'm not as clever as I used to be."
"Rest assured my Lord, you are the greatest mind of Antior."
"Apparently not great enough to detect such obvious treachery. But now that I consider it deeper, she wasn't the most sincere of my loves, and at times quite a pain in the... hrmph..."
"Neck, sir?"
"Yes, blast it! But can't you see how unclever that is, with my being a Vampyre and all!"

Following the pitched battle at the Chasm of Eternal Sorrow with his forces greatly weakened, Lord Vhadxi retreated to the protective dreadcoffin and the forces of light constructed the CryptoCrypt to contain the Lord as he slumbered.
