User blog comment:Lothorian Foryx/What I Learned From The Lord of Vampyrium/@comment-4536066-20151018201616

I noticed a couple things that I don't think got listed here and/or weren't mentioned in detail

this sentence is just filling space so that I'm 100% sure the following info doesn't pop up into the activity feed. I mean, it's been like a month but can't hurt.


 * Vampyres have a specific fear of being impaled through the chest or head. This knowledge is taken advantage of by vampyres torturing other vampyres. It's probably a safe to say that those two areas are weak spots that can deliver death blows, but that exact fact isn't clearly stated.
 * The Barrows area (like, the physical real estate) was acquired via a deal Sliske made directly with Drakan. Drakan granted the Mahjarrat rights to use that land.
 * The Salve barrier has weak points where the magic dilutes. This information is almost exclusively relevant to werewolves, not vampyres. There are werewolves who know where these weak points are, but it is clearly implied in the quest that they are not common household knowledge.
 * If the Adventurer suggests a vyrelady should neuter her pet werewolf slave as punishment for misbehavior, the vyrelady is displeased because it will disable her ability to use the werewolf to create more offspring. It is unclear if this means vyres are in the practice of breeding werewolves, of if, in fact, the vampyres breed directly with their servants for the practicality of growing population.
 * Vamps call zaros "the stranger from afar"
 * Once a yaer, vamps celebrated a holiday called The Great Genuflection, where they all bend the knee and bay at house Drakan.
 * Drinking half-icyene blood not only doesn't harm vampyres (as is often hypothesized), drinking it even makes them more powerful by way of giving them an immunity to Salve power. It might also be a logical jump to say the same about pure icyene blood. Given that knowledge, that means an icyene or partial-icyene travelling into Morytania is not only putting himself at risk, but is also risking the entire western population by potentially spreading vyre-Salve immunity even faster than Vanescula plans.
