Hi ppls in the know.
I'm doing a talk for an English Corner on Monday about Vampires, and I'm obviously thinking about the various ones in our culture & media.
And, I had a sudden thought - is Delecti the Vampire necromancer in Upland Marsh, just a hop, skip and jump away from Duck Point, supposed to be an homage to Count Duckula?
Anyone know? Or is it merely coincidence?
Delecti is an undead hero and archmagus, whose powers go far beyond a normal vampire, but the Dancers in Darkness, who are the ‘normal’ level followers of Delecti’s path, seem to be pretty much standard Vivamort vampires, other than knowing a few of Delecti’s special magic techniques, and perhaps some variation in creation ritual (and they seem to lack some minor powers here and there). And Delecti’s marked preference for women - surely there is a story there that harks back to his mortal life,
