Vampyr and The Order : 1886 ( crossover ) lore.

Alright, here me out.

The Black Water. Was created by Arthur himself to help battle the disaster of his time. That Myrddin actually aided the beginning of this concoction. To enhance his progeny's Knights of the Round.

That the first Knights were considered more than, borderline supernatural. Yet since Arthur failed according to Myrddin. Most of his Knights had perished , only two survived. Thus The Order was created and lasted throughout the centuries. Recreating the Knights as ceremonial titles in honor of those who perished.

It wasn't long after that, that the Brotherhood of Saint Paul's Stole would become a second branch of The Order. Then of course the rift between two parties within the Brotherhood then became Priwen. Thus King Arthur's blood was one in the same as the Black Water.

I got to thinking.... I may put Johnny on full hiatus for now and make a second side blog.

One that will harbor both Geoffrey McCullum of Vampyr and the rekindling of my old Sir Galahad from The Order : 1886 as muses.

My old Galahad had a strict AU that I abided to, I may keep that in full . Self-loathing werewolf hunter turned werewolf.. by none other than a man he called brother.

Do give this post a like if you would be interested. Just a fair warning, I do not plan to sugar coat McCullum. He will be insufferably brutal and stubborn to reason with. Vampire muses approach at your own risk.

                        AMBITION, as that passion, is generally understood,—                         a strong desire to rise above others, to occupy the first place, —                         formed no part of Lafayette's character.                         In him, the PASSION was nothing more                                                   than a constant and irresistible wish to do good.

For some reason. . I headcanon Carl Eldritch as a Welshman.

Perhaps it's that trickling influence from one mentor to the next -- on when I role played with Sebastien Malory of The Order : 1886 with my Sir Galahad. Nagging at my brain subliminally. 'Course Malory was a more loving, if not a fatherly figure type of mentor. Something Eldritch definitely lacked.

Headcanon;

A healthy reminder that majority of the Knights cannot be infected by lycanthropy. The blackwater’s properties serves as a barrier to what The Order conceives as a disease.  The only reason Grayson had become “ infected “  was because it had been Alastair who bit him.

They both having that alchemy induced blood, nulls any prevention and altered the very dna of what later becomes infused lycanthropy.  With some speculation of Lucan being of an Elder descent also at aid.  In the beginning of my AU,  I doubt even Alastair knew he was capable of doing that to Grayson.  It had been a vastly daunting surprise to them both.

More Monstrosities...

Dirck Volckertsz. Coornhert, after Adriaan de Weerdt, Luther Reveals the Deception of the Clergy, (this edition 1607 original c. 1570)

Over the Christmas break one of the books I have been reading - In Praise of Ordinary People(eds. M.C. Jacob and C. Secretan, 2013) - contained a great essay about Dirck Coornhert by Dorothee Sturkenboom.  Coornhert was a 16th century Dutch freethinker of the new mercantile class who was disinherited after marrying an older woman.  He was many things in his life - a writer and translator, engraver, playwright, and bureaucrat - and his philosophy was one of broad religious tolerance and the importance of education as both an end in itself and as a way of ensuring a just society.  He advocated the (voluntary) redistribution of wealth above that was required for basic needs and the primacy of the individual study of scripture for religious enlightenment - which put him at odds with both the Catholic and Protestant churches.  He was not a radical democrat in that he distrusted the uneducated mob, but he did his best to use both plays and prints to educate and enlighten his fellow citizens in the hope that they would be able to take their proper place in society.

The reason I am writing about this is the inclusion of this engraving in the essay as it both interesting in its own right and encapsulates Coornhert's ideas brilliantly:

On the left of the image an idealised Martin Luther lifts the cloak of the Pope to reveal his monstrous form (similar to the earlier popular woodcut The Papal Ass) with his body appearing to merge into his throne and menagerie of beasts including scorpion, serpent and dog (wolf?).  Luther is illuminating this horror with a torch bearing the text "the testimony of scripture" for the benefit of another monster, a many headed man identified as Vulgus; the common populace (the many headed hydra that is the mob).  Behind this scene another Vulgus is shying away from a member of the clergy that is being revealed as a cat (a common 16th century trope for the deceptive priest used by both Catholics and Protestants) by Erasmus.  On the far right of the image a peasant is leaning on his spade under the shade of a tree and reading a book to himself.  The text at the bottom Luther Reveals the Deception of the Clergy is written in Latin, Dutch and French. We have therefore, the uncovering of the horrific truth to the ignorant populace by philosophers and theologians. Followed by the individual's self-development as a freethinking subject. In the print Coornhert both praises Luther and avoids aligning himself with his authoritarianism - there is no doubt that the main enemy is the old order, but to set up a new priesthood is not the answer.
