Editing Drachenfels (section)

==The End Times==
In the game [[The End Times: Vermintide]], Castle Drachenfels was added as an expansion. Apparently it was either not destroyed or magically reformed, and was invaded by [[Skaven]] who were both channeling its magic into portals to summon [[Daemon|Daemons]] and searching the castle for cursed magic relics. The heroes put down the [[Skaven]], although nothing of note was found within. Disturbingly, the Poisoned Feast is still set up...

[[Vermintide 2|In the second game]], the castle was taken once again. This time it was taken by a former Nurgle sorcerer lord of the Rotblood tribe, Nurgoth the Eternal, who now lead the Rotblood tribe and the remaining Skaven after the Ubersliek 5 disabled the Rotblood's leadership and fucked over Clan Fester. The stinky boy had made the Castle his base of operation, where he conducted a ritual that would allow him to acquire the power of a demon from the castle and also made him go insane courtesy of the glimpses he got at the realm of Chaos (though on the plus side looking into the warp gave him foresight of some sort). Kidnapping villagers for his ritual did not go unanswered however, for the Ubersliek 5 noticed this and give Nurgoth a beating so bad that he explodes. With Nurgoth's death, Castle Drachehfels is once again empty, but now with trails of disgusting demon buboes left over from Nurgoth's work, especially the rotten tunnel of pus and shit the shit lord himself left behind after his explosive death.

Despite the fact that Drach by this point is a thrall of Nagash as the Nameless, a portion of his consciousness still haunts the castle, whispering doubt in the minds of the heroes...

Both games of [[Vermintide]] have the castle's wall decorated mostly in [[John Blanche]] artwork, a 4th wall break if you want to take it that way (or not). For you see, the second game features a painter living in the same keep with the Ubersliek 5 named Catrinne of Aldenstein, who had drawn paintings that were references to various real life Warhammer artworks, including [[John Blanche|Blanche's]]. So either Blanche exists in the Warhammer world or various gifted artists in the setting have [[Psyker|foresight]] that allows them to witness various images of scenery out of the blue.

With the impending release of [[The End Times]], Drachenfels gets added back into the setting as a "[[Mortarch]]" of [[Nagash]], though so far he's only referred to as "The Nameless". Indeed, his whole reason for siding with Nagash is to try and recover his identity because he's forgotten who he is thanks to the whole divine hammer to the skull and earlier botched resurrection. He's described as a bodiless spirit that specializes in possessing and controlling large groups of people at a time and also a huge dick who likes to screw people over for his petty whims - one day he decides he wants banners of flayed skin, so his victims start skinning each other, the next day he makes them rip out their bones to make totems because he's bored with the skin banners.

Nagash, who knew what the Nameless was, desired to keep it a thrall clueless as to its identity as Drachenfel's power to dominate the minds of mortals so quickly and en masse is a power he envies; what's more, Drach was the only other mortal capable of rivaling him.

In fact, the petty dickery of the Nameless actually screws him and [[Vlad von Carstein]] over because it disrupts their takeover so much that it makes [[Balthasar Gelt]] come to see why <s>things are acting odd in the area they've conquered</s> the guards in the area weren't reporting in. Though Gelt joins them later due to this, so everything ended up working out fine.

At some point afterwards before the end of the world, Drachy decides that the big bonedaddy doesn't have his interests in mind and eventually just breaks off to do his own thing. He manages to control an entire village and personally possess [[Luthor Huss]], the Sigmarite Warrior-Priest extraordinaire. By this point, Drach decides to throw his lot in with the winning side (that is [[Chaos]]) and is in league with the corpse of [[Isabella von Carstein]]. However, he runs into Vlad and Vlad manages to wake up Huss and then the Witch Hunter's power of PURE SIGMARITE FAITH burns the bodiless Mortarch to oblivion. And thus was the end of Drachenfels' return. For the time at least ...

So this pretty much confirms Drachenfels as canon.

By extension, Genevieve is now full canon too. Which by extension makes this the best article ever written as we now have confirmation of [[Sigmar]] possessing someone to skull fuck a bad guy with a Warhammer.
