Editing Gunpowder (Warhammer Fantasy) (section)

===[[Zombie Pirates of the Vampire Coast|Vampire Coast]]===

[[Luthor Harkon]] is not a typical Vampire, especially given his lineage as a [[Blood Dragon]]. Unlike his [[Walach Harkon|cousin]], Luthor isn't the noble or honorable type. Instead, he decided that rather than deal with all the infighting, warring and (most importantly) competition, he decided it was instead better for him to go to a place where he wouldn't have to deal with: [[Lustria]]. (Though granted, he might not have had a choice, as the ship his coffin was on was raided by [[Norsca|Norscan]] marauders heading for the colony of [[Skeggi]], and who washed up on the Eastern Coast of Lustria). 


Raising the dead into zombies, Harkon set out to establish his zombie empire on the hot and humid coasts of Lustria, as the dead fear not disease, nor the exhaustion of heat and dehydration. Unlike other vampires, the coast could really only make use of washed up sailors, and so little-to-no [[Skeleton Warrior#Warhammer Fantasy Battles|skeleton]]s could be found in their ranks, but what ship wrecks and dead sailors have in abundance tend to be cannons, blackpowder and flintlocks. 

That's why out of all the factions, the one with arguably the most reliance on their black powder is the Vampire Coast, as without it, they'd be stuck fighting [[lizardmen|angry lizards]], [[Clan_Pestilens|diseased rats]], or the myriad other horrors found in the primeval continent with a bunch of rotting corpses with nothing but numbers, which matters little when your enemies have [[carnosaurs]].
