#1171: History Abridged

This Comic's Storylines:

This Comic's Cast:

This is me playing very fast and loose with Castlevania continuity. Part of it is trying to reconcile actual history with the history depicted in the series -- a losing battle, to be sure, with how much the Castlevania series had fucked up all the dates in the whole chronology (especially if you try and bring in all the games and not just the ones series producer IGA is a fan of).

Plus, here I am again working in little details from a homebrew games I was gonna work on, Castlevania: Origins. It's not really essential to know about the homebrew to appreciate this comic, but I figured I'd note where I stole this six regions storyline from. You were originally supposed to fight the six boyars on your way to defeat Dracul before he used dark magics to become a vampire.

At least, I think that was the original plotline for that game. It was over a decade ago that I plotted it out, so my memory could be a little fuzzy on the details.
 
    

When evil spreads across the land, and darkness rises and the monsters roam. When the creatures of the night make beautiful music, and the things that go bump in the night go bump with greater enthusiasm. When the world is in peril and is in need of a hero...

These guys are, sadly, the best the world can hope for. These are the adventures of the heroes of CVRPG. They mean well, they try hard, and occasionally they do the impossible...

They actually do something heroic.
