Solarn Nite Lewis Ah, I see. I admit some parts were slighty dramatic, as I did this taking in consideration the movies and the books that talk about her as an abomination. Most of my sources did say that she came from a wealthy family. Considering what was said of it in some articles, I thought it wasn't an exageration xp And the asumption that her madness was the result of inbreeding is a theme that appeared once and once again; I wasn't sure what degree of inbreeding there was, so I left it. Ah, yes. "Commners' lives were expendable" is entirely my fault. I didn't mean it as you understood it - I was referring to an ocassion during her childhood when she saw a gypsy being burried inside a horse, in a party. The description was rather extensive and exaggerated, so I just suppresed it and tried to explaing her indiference to others peoples lifes without getting into detail. The blood baths are one of the things that made her famous in vampiric literary, I had to put it in (And believe me, I suppresed lots of other descriptions that were far more fantastic). The tortures may be a bit dramatic, but as I'm not an expert in this theme I wasn't able to separate reality of fantasy. And again, I just wrote down what seemed to be the most realistic traits of her without having to copypaste Wikipedia. Of course, I'm not saying you're not right, just... D: It wasn't my intentions to sound sensationalistic. I'm sorry.
For the record: please don't mention Dracula in front of any Romanians. They think of Vlad as a national hero (conveniently forgetting the part where he worked for the Hungarians) and most take offense at the vampire legend.I saw a special about Vlad on the history channel once. I found it odd that his country considers him a national hero. Then again, we tend to think the same thing about Columbus, even after all the horrible things he did to the native populations when he arrived.

Remember, Hungary was the last bit of Europe where Western culture still reached. To the East and South, it was still like it had been a century before Vlad's time.

D: Now, everytime we see Columbus in History I start to growl. At least my last history teacher and I shared the same view on him. Thanks Zi! >w<
