	Technically speaking the Von Carsteins “exist” in the sense that Mannfred is still around and his newly turned minions make up his “Legion of Night”. It’s unlikely humans would survive there making it a Bloodline of one at the time, but he has since sided with anyone against Nagash and any mortals he turns are now part of the Von Carsteins. Since Games Workshop has not committed to which specific characters didn't survive the ET, any character can and sporadically has returned so Vlad, Isabella, Konrad, even the named redshirts from past obscure lore, could all be brought back into the story at any time. After getting out of his punishment Mannfred founded a realm called Carstinia which was similar to Sylvania. He was served by vampiric servants, turned in yes-men and made to look like all the other von Carsteins including Vlad, Isabella and Konrad. However Mannfred eventually accepted how hollow his fantasy was and rarely spends time in Carstinia anymore.

After getting out of his punishment Mannfred founded a realm called Carstinia, which was similar to Sylvania in environment and architecture. At his castle, he was served by vampiric servants made or conditioned into being yes-men and made to look like all the other von Carsteins including Vlad, Isabella and Konrad. However Mannfred eventually accepted how hollow his fantasy was and saw it as a reminder of his past failures, so rarely spends time in Carstinia anymore.

			Following Nagash’s house arrest thanks to Teclis, the vampires are now free to run amuck. After deliberately doing a sloppy job of spreading the Nadir to Ghyran, Mannfred was eager to do some conquering of his own by immediately invaded some of Neferata’s land with his armies.

	Despite the interference of Gotrek and Felix, Mannfred kept his resurrection under wraps in the same manner as the Skaven keep their existence. He actively recruited all Vampires from any Bloodline, assassinating or sabotaging any who didn't sign up with him while avoiding direct conflict with the other Bloodlines. Von Carsteins were bullied back into the chain of command, and Mannfred began his war by attacking the Dwarfs and kidnapping [[Everqueen\|Aliathra]], Everqueen heir to the [[High Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)\|High Elves]] using a prodded force of greenskins and [[Heinrich Kemmler]].

	The sun stopped rising in Sylvania and Vampires became openly active again. Mannfred openly seceded Sylvania from the Empire in 2522 by sending a letter to Karl Franz - [[Grimdark\|a letter written in blood on human skin, stuffed down the throat of a Witch Hunter's corpse which was dropped into parliament hall by a Terrorgheist]] - where he declared himself leader of Sylvania at the same time as he stole the Crown Of Sorcery AKA Nagash's favorite tiara. [[Volkmar The Grim]] attempted a crusade against Sylvania, but the force was defeated and he was taken captive. [[Balthasar Gelt]] created a giant magical wall trapping the Undead within Sylvania. Mannfred responded by using the blood of Volkmar, the [[Fey Enchantress]], and Aliathra to create a giant wall of bones inside Sylvania preventing the living from entering.

	The primary contenders for rulership of the Von Carsteins were [[Mannfred von Carstein]], Fritz Von Carstein, Pieter Von Carstein, Hans Von Carstein, and [[Konrad von Carstein]].

After going on this (surprisingly rapey) killing spree, Mannfred charged Jon with undermining whichever brother rose to power, then left for parts unknown. During this time, Fritz attempted to restart Vlad's invasion of the Empire and was killed in Middenheim. Pieter attacked a town where he was killed by Helmut van Hal, one of the Witch Hunter descendants of [[Frederick van Hal]]. Hans and Konrad engaged each other in a duel over who was the strongest Vampire, which Konrad won by tearing Hans apart and burning the pieces. When the dust settled, Konrad was in charge.

He had no talent in magic, insulting and killing Necromancers assigned to him and anyone he thought was mocking his lack of magic ability.		This was unfortunate for the Von Carsteins.

			==Trivia==

			* While the aesthetics owe to Dracula, Games Workshop likely named the Von Carsteins after Countess Karnstein, the lesbian vampire antagonist of the 19th century vampire novel "Carmilla", by Irish writer Sheridan Le Fanu (which predates the publication of Dracula by 25 years).

	Bloodlines no longer exist as of AoS since nobody is keeping track of lineage, just loyalty (so far, it is possible for GW to bring back the idea later since it has not been stated they have abandoned the idea). Some Vampires such as Neferata survived the end of the world and the ensuing new timeline, now being far more ancient than the rest of the ancient beings in the setting. Some such as Mannfred were resurrected by Nagash.

	Technically speaking the Von Carsteins “exist” in the sense that Mannfred is still around~~, languishing in a place~~ of ~~torment in Nagash’s own version of hell~~. ~~Its~~ unlikely humans would survive there making it a Bloodline of one at the time, but he has since sided with anyone against Nagash and any mortals he turns are now part of the Von Carsteins.

	~~To render the whining of this article useless, the “Legions of Nagash” battletome leaves it very clear that bloodlines are still a thing just renamed (like 99.99999999% of AoS).~~

	Under the Soulblight (the new trademark friendly name for vampires, though they flip flop between that name and just vampires) it can be seen that the new names for the bloodlines are: Dragón Warriors instead of Blood dragons, Lords of the Night instead of Von Carstein, Swift Death instead of Lahmia, and Necromantic instead of Nechrarcs.
