"Your Holiness, there is disturbing news from Romania.

It is said the Prince of Wallachia, who has been our staunch defender against the Turks and Saracens, has made a pact with the devil! Night and darkness has covered the land from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean. An unholy, massive castle has grown like a tumor across the mountain ranges, and legions of skeletons, demons, and monstrosities pour forth.

The Prince has claimed "in service of God, I sell myself to the Devil" and has proclaimed to defend Christendom from the Turks "till the end of days". The Turks have already fed great armies, only for them to be returned upon stakes and spikes, but he has not made any advances upon his Christian neighbors.

There is great fear and trembling among the lords of Europe your holiness, and many call for his excommunication and ponder a crusade, what should be our papal response?"
>>
Reinforce his positions.
If his actions cause God to answer, then we must all follow suit.
>>
Rejoice because proving the devil exists proves God exists too.
>>
>>52956802
We secure the borders against any movements from his land into those of the faithful. Let the Devil's pawns fight themselves while we build our strength, inform all that should they travel into those lands, they will not be permitted to leave.
>>
>>52956905
Are you suggesting we plan a later crusade when we have sufficient force? Or wait for him to strike first, if ever.

We plan for the potential of a later crusade that will sweep all the way to those heathen's home's. However should the fool remain faithful in his duties we let him be until we have him from both sides. If we are to send our sons to die in such a cursed land I will ensure that it will be so we can purify it after. Send word to him, that or build up of strength on the border is to reassure his neighbors.

Be sure to send someone expendable, because nothing crosses that border then comes out again.

We really don't have a modern day mindset to appropriate a correct level of hatred for a major rival such as the Turks/Ottomans/Saracens were to Christian Europe, I dare say even against terrorists and jihadists.

The closer we can get is the hatred of Communists during McCarthysm or the Nazi's in WW2. The Turks represented an entire race completely counter to your whole way of life, and percieved as one who were prepared to take over all of Europe and forcefully turn you from god or put you to the sword or slavery.

Ever watched 300? How the Persians are portrayed.
>>
>>52957547

And this is how they do it. Lucifer is a deciever.

They'd taken Spain, Constantinople, Jerusalem (gee Mohamad, how come you get THREE holy cities?) and had basically made it impossible for Christians to float anything more significant than a wooden plank on the Mediterranean.

Piracy, slave raids, and just a general disregard for farmers rights (particularly when they took North Africa) obliterated the trade web that had allowed the former Roman Empire to feed itself (remember Egypt was the bread basket of the empire.

The devil shits, and your army eats. Thou shallt not, thou son of a whore, make subjects of Christian sons; we have no fear of your army, by land and by sea we will battle with thee, fuck thy mother.

Thou Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-fucker of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, pig of Armenia, Podolian thief, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, an idiot before God, grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig's snout, mare's arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow, screw thine own mother!

So the Zaporozhians declare, you lowlife. You won't even be herding pigs for the Christians. Now we'll conclude, for we don't know the date and don't own a calendar; the moon's in the sky, the year with the Lord, the day's the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!

Anon, the entire Balkans are now a skeleton-infested mountain range, centred on a demonic castle. The only people left who could have a Reformation are the few emaciated peasants remaining on the shores of the Adriatic or the king's court, who are hardly in a position to do so.

No, the Reformation will start in Germany, among wary princes who are conflicted about sending troops to defeat such a monstrous enemy, leaving themselves open to the power plays of rivals back home. The Emperor himself is hardest pressed, his own Hungarian lands bordering the Balkans, and factions in the Imperial court vie for his approval and attention. The Pope will be a deciding factor in this, his decision at this juncture setting the course for the history of the world.

Yep, and good ol' Drac was particularly keen on using it as a form of domestic law enforcement within his own country. When he decided to inflict it upon young mothers he was partial to impaling her infant child on the same pike, so the baby's body would slow the death of the mother and extend her suffering.

A real piece of work he was.

Think about it. He impales his enemies on wooden stakes and leaves them out in the sun.
Meanwhile, Turks are known for wearing body-covering outfits and burkas. So tell me - who is more likely to be a vampire: the Drac or the Turks?
I mean, the whole plot is pretty obvious: the Drac was fighting against the vampires, they turned him, but he rebelled against his sire and staked him.
Now he wanders the endless night like a fanatic he is - a vampire who is also a vampire killer with a grudge.

I love these as a narrative tool.

I'd disprove and write a treatise on why that's fucked, but keep it and the disapproval private, and not intervene until we know more, since if it's as it's rumored, it's literally devil vs devil: neither side winning is good. There's no victory to be had with the Turks winning, or in him winning. Basically need to get a better feel for the situation with him. Perhaps I'd send a formal request to speak to him in Rome (he can still be saved). Perhaps call for forces to muster outside of Wallachia, to potentially help or crush him depending on how ridiculous this corruption is.

Inevitably some Jesuit jack ass will revere him as a saint after I'm dead if I don't do something, but I can't be hasty.

As soon as the muslim infidels realise the power of the Devil's gifts, they will surely embrace that evil themselves. And since they lack good Christian values, they will undoubtedly pursue those powers with far greater vigour than any righteous man would. If we do nothing, then pretty soon the entire Holy Land is going to be a raging shitpile of unholy darkness, against which we will be utterly powerless.

He and the afflicted just stand there before the crusaders, waiting for the sun to rise. He does not know if he still counts as one of God's creatures and he would not allow a fellow Christian to sully their hands on his behalf.

If it is a clear day then God requests their death, if it is sufficiently overcast then they have been judged not beyond redemption.

In either case he has signed documents turning his lands over to the Church on the event of his death under the condition that they in turn hand the lands over to a good Christian king.

Because killing heretics typically doesn't pay much gold. Killing blaspheming pagans and muslims does pay lots of gold and land.

I once knew a man that ran a Kebab shop. Nice man. We called him Sunny, not his actual name but it's what he liked to be called. He and his brother came here from Turkey when they were teenagers. They didn't come with their parents. When we asked why he told us that the last time the saw their parent's they were hanging from the rafters of the barn on their families farm. Neither Mr Sunny or his brother had big toes, just badly healed scar tissue where toes should be. They were Kurds.

But oh no that must surely be wrong. Turks at gud bois dey dindu nuffin.

The Hungarians are traitors though, especially to fellow Christians. The king of Hungary was embezzling money that was meant to be passed onto Vlad, to fund his war against the Ottomans, so when the time came to talk about what happened to the money, he spouted a load of bullshit and imprisoned Vlad.

Even before Vlad, they fucked people over. Like the Serbs. After the battle for Kosovo, where Serbs pretty much sent every single man of fighting age, and had a MAD clash with the Ottoman army, the widow of the Serb leader asked for help from her fellow Christian neighbors. Hungarians proceeded to invade and raid the Serb lands, leaving the widow no choice but to become a vassal to the Ottomans even before they fully moved in, in order to protect her people.

And in the hills, somehow at least one valley and three mountains over from wherever you thought it was, is Scholomance, the Devil's School.

There, the Devil personally instructs 10 pupils in the arcane arts, in languages, history, politics, religion, alchemy, and any other art known to science or forbidden by God. When the schooling is complete, the Devil releases 9 scholars to plague the world and keeps the 10th for himself.

If the Prince of Wallachia was one of the 9 pupils, who were the other 8?

This is... not entirely right.

Everyone cut deals with the Sultan, from the English to the Italians. Even the Pope. Especially the Venetians. They might be despised but there's not really a sense, outside of Hungary and Poland (who couldn't cut deals) of this overwhelming xenophobic fear. Past the 3rd Crusade, every political power in the region is playing the same game, at more or less the same table. It's not until Constantinople falls that the pendulum swings back to fear and hatred.

I had a game like this.

The party was sent out after reports of demons decimating villages in Eastern Poland.

A tired and grizzled knight who was on the run after his Lord caught him in the act of courtly love with his wife. He was from Normandy.

Another player was his squire, who was still young and fairly new to the world.

A Hospitaller who had returned from the Holy Land.

A Frenchman who was too devout for his own good.

A dandy German Prince who fancied himself as the Swan Knight

And Benedictine Monk named Louis.

Later they picked up a Polish Knight, a Teutonic Knight, and a Lithuanian.

Most of the group got by through broken French or Latin, and there was plenty of shit-talking. The GM encouraged players to come up with crazy histories for weapons: The German Prince was running around with what he claimed was Siegfried's, the Hospitaller's Sword was the one used to behead John the Baptist and was possessed by a demon, and our the Pole in our party showed up with the Sword of St. Peter.

Every personality in the party clashed and half the RP was the characters bickering and trying to one-up each other as the better knight. Plus there were drunken fights with locals and all sorts of shenanigans, until the monk revealed himself as Lucifer and he was using us to spread mistrust and act as a vanguard for his armies.

The finale was everyone but the squire dying in a glorious charge against a demonic horde, which may or may not have been Mongols. Shit was great.

Judas Iscariot tried to hang himself after Jesus' crucifixion, except God smote him by making him immortal, making the sun his enemy, and making it so he could only survive by feeding on the blood of the innocent as an eternal reminder that he was so willing to sacrifice the most innocent blood of all.

Judas was, according to some interpretations of the bible, the father of all vampires.

The redemption story that could come from his descendants would be quite interesting.

Are we sure this is the Devil, and not a servant of the Light granting Saint Dracul the power to drive the ACTUAL servants of the dark back? I mean the guy stakes and impales them on wooden pikes, and leaves them in the morning sun, and Turks are always covering their bodies as if hiding something.

They were the world's largest military power at the time, dedicated to invading Christendom to spread Islam and enslave the Europeans.

The Ottoman war against Europe during the renaissance is basically what LoTR is about.

Belligerent, slave holding, expansionist power. Much like the Roman empire, it's pretty to historians that enjoy the look of expanding borders and to those that were the favored caste empire, but those that were conquered by were subjected to atrocities as a matter of course. There is a great deal of bad blood, especially those that felt their national destiny was robbed by the empire.

Thought Tolkien just didn't like blacks.

Were they that different from other powers at the time? Quite a few empires were belligerent as hell. Also, were they Turks specifically or an amalgamation of a few peoples?

Well if your talking about Samael then I guess. He was still an eldritch abomination that dislike our guts though. Maybe not full bore Evil, but still not someone you wanted to meet. Then again he WAS a direct creation of the Jews, so who knows.

Moors were gone from Spain a hundred years by this time mate, unless you're talking about secret muslim worshippers.

>>52974783
I would argue no, but I haven't studied the Ottoman Empire all that much. I would question if they were a threat to the whole of Christendom as well- the Ottomans and Venetians were allies around this time trying to keep the Portuguese out of their eastern trade routes, and of course the French liked their help against the Habsburgs who were blobbing across Spain, Austria, and the Netherlands around this time too. Not to mention the fun times that were the thirty years war at this time...

All that being said, bad is still bad. It's probably scant comfort to those under the Ottomans that it was run of the mill tyranny.

We still haven't given the Spanish their dues after kicking out those that needed to go.

>>52975074
Yes, we owe the Spanish so much more.

>>52975074
The Spanish empire could have a lot of cool stuff going for it, considering at this time they had a global presence. The Americas, India, trade with China, outposts in Africa, Austria, the Low Countries...
>>
>>52974579
They pretty much caused the african slave trade and the amerindian genocide by proxi of trying to choke christendom out of resources. They completely devastated the balkans and ruined everything rome had built.

I read an interesting theory that said the fact that they controlled so much gold held them back. There was little need to develop new technologies or techniques when you could just pay people to get things done.

I still think that Clockwork and Chivalry / Renaissance Deluxe is the best fit. It even has Satanic Black Magic and a Righteousness system for all the interparty conflict that comes from having a party full of religious zealots and slavs.

My favorite is this post:
>>52975235
"The Ottoman Empire is responsible for the amerindian genocide and the African slave trade!"

Not, y'know, the people that were doing the slave trading or killing the natives of the Americas. And yes i know that the Ottoman Empire was like neck deep in slave trading, but referring to the African slave trade in the same breath as the amerindian genocide makes me think they're referring to the triangle trade.

Also, 'choke christendom out of resources.' What? Like, Europe was starving because the Ottomans were sitting on the silk road? That EVERY christian was dying for lack of spices and silk that they just had to go depopulate a pair of continents? We're just going to ignore the Venetian trade with the Mamluks and Ottomans?

Well, they used to be christians before Mohammed showed up. Most christians who did not convert were executed, raped, raped and executed. Some of them got off with paying a tax, but were still horribly mistreated by their Muslim overlords. And even the christians that weren't killed by the government had a tendency to be murdered by angry mobs of muslims or have their churches burned down with them inside.

Probably ought to include Prussia, Poland, Lithuania and most of Spain and Portugal if you count the Reconquista as a crusade.

>Turks were from the central asian steppe, so they were Tengriist.
So were Mongols before they converted. Also Turks from Altai look nothing like Turks of Anatolia which can be only explained as the result of widespread liberation of the region.
>>
>>52974783
The Ottoman empire carried out 3 distinct genocides:
>Greek (1913-1922) - during which the Greek christians was subjected to massacres, death marches, deportations and executions killing between 450k to 750k.
>Assyrian (1914-1920) - during which the Assyrians were massacred, executed, deported and forced starvation killing between 150k to 300k
>Armenian (1915-1923) - during which Armenian christians were subjected to massacres, deportations, death marches and forced starvation killing 1.5 million

That is not including the usual expansionism, fondness of slavery, sharia law, etc.

Not a fan of D&D, but you could get a similar setup in Forgotten Realms. Zhentarim expansion forces local king to make a deal with Asmodan in the name of protecting his people. I could even imagine Asmodan genuinely wanting to deal with the Zhentarim, partially because they compete in the same market, partially because to Asmodan Bane is an upstart punk who's greener than grass, and a filthy mortal as well, who needs to be put in his place. Kids these days, stealing godhood like it's candy.
