Artwork Reveal

Before we get onto the character reveal, here’s the first look at new artwork showcasing powerful vampire leader Bella Quillan.

She is the vanguard of the Isle of Gallow in 'Harrowed World: Portents In Red', our Modern Gothic Vampire RPG, currently in development. She is draped in a bloodstained gown and wearing a mask, framed by a modern gothic cityscape.

Her eyes blaze purple, alive with vampiric power.

Character Reveal

Dr Duncan Oswald (formally Lord Dr Duncan Richard Edwin-Oswald) is the new advocatus and master of the Kerrogan Collective on the Isle of Gallow.

Duncan is also the protagonist of Duncan's Story, part of 'Harrowed World: What's Past Is Portents', our Episodic Vampire Narrative Game.

See the character reveal below:

As the reluctant new master of the local Kerrogan he oversees a group of apprentices, pupils in often brutal disciplines of science, who may not entirely appreciate his oversight.

As advocatus he represents his estate by appointment of the vanguard Bella Quillan, the overall leader of the pale (vampiric domain) of the Isle of Gallow.

While a vanguard does not have to select the local leader of an estate as its advocatus, it's considered common practice to do so. Not to appoint them would often be considered a slight by the snubbed leader.

Duncan is a man that has grown increasingly uncomfortable with his noble origins and often tries to seem more like a down-to-earth everyman though he does not entirely pull it off.

While in the presence of a vanguard, or another vampire of more regal bearing, he will often instead dial up his lordly etiquette in an attempt to curry favour and be seen as closer to an equal.
