Count Vladex in his castle by candlelight

The Court of

Count VLADEX

$VLADEX

The night belongs to whoever holds the fangs.

Act I

The Awakening

An open crimson coffin under a candelabra

Nobody remembers burying him. The coffin was simply there one evening, lined in crimson velvet, lid propped open as if expecting guests.

Count Vladex sat up, straightened his bow tie, and made one announcement: the night belongs to whoever holds the fangs. He did not elaborate. He rarely does.

$VLADEX is his court. Holding it is how you are seated at his table.

Act II

Rules of the Night

  1. The coffin stays open. The Count does not close doors. He waits by them.
  2. Loyalty is assumed. Count Vladex does not ask for it. He notices when it is missing.
  3. Garlic is a personal choice. It is also a short conversation.
  4. Mirrors are decorative. Judge the Count by the company he keeps, not by his reflection.
  5. Bats are staff. Tip accordingly.
  6. Sunrise ends the evening. Not the appetite. That one is permanent.

Act III

Take Your Seat

Every guest of the court carries the same seal. Check it here before you sit down: the Count keeps exactly one address, and it is this one.
