| When the Vanir entered the land of Rus in between the Early & Middle Ages, they were simply exploring & looking to trade. However, conflict between them and the local Humans & Chudes over a sacred site spiraled into war. The Vanir won the initial battles, founding the city of Novgård at that site. When the Humans & Chudes allied to push the Vanir back into the sea, the Vanir subdued the Humans with their illusions & superior strength, forcing the Chudes to fight the Humans as well. Then came the Black Knights of Ulm, who were certainly there to conquer. In the face of a greater threat, Novgård & Rus rallied together, defeating the Ulmic invasion. From there, the Kingdom of Vanarus was formed, led by the precious few Vanir that were remaining. As a result of this chaotic period, the Chudes had fallen behind the Humans in terms of numbers, but they still held a bit of their former prestige. | When the Vanir entered the land of Rus in between the Early & Middle Ages, they were simply exploring & looking to trade.

| | **Deives of the Sun**: awake, Order 3, Growth scales, above average dominion strength, Blood 3 at least, the rest may vary, but normally take Heat 1, Misfortune 1, Magic 0 or lower. The idea is to start blood hunting early, in order to start producing Soul Contracts early and en masse. Deives of the Sun reduces unrest in her province by 10 per turn without population loss, so does your Order 3 scales and good dominion candles. She also produces 2 fire gems per turn, in addition to the "free" blood slaves thanks to unrest reduction, which creates a significant discount towards forging Soul Contracts or towards empowering other commanders in Fire/Blood. Growth scales should offset population loss from blood hunting/patrolling, although the intention of this build is to patrol as little as possible. Vanabogs can have Death 2 or 3, meaning they can lead a lot of Devils. Vanabogs also can have Blood 2 or 3, as well as Fire 1, making them into good blood hunters or Soul Contract producers in the latter case. Chud Skinshifters can handle the early expansion. Since you will be using Chud Skinshifters and then Devils, a bless is not necessary. |
