Total War: WARHAMMER - Isabella von Carstein

About the game

A closer look.

Isabella Von Carstein In life, the daughter of Sylvania’s mad count Otto Von Drak was much like any other of her noble counterparts: vain, immoral and selfish. Upon her father’s death, the first and greatest of the Vampire counts, Vlad Von Carstein, seized the reigns of the province, and was duly married to Isabella. She was soon drawn to Vlad’s intense charisma, and he in turn came to rely upon her unquestioning support and devotion absolutely; what began as a marriage of convenience transformed into a partnership of legend. As she lay dying from a wasting disease, Vlad granted her the Blood Kiss, and she joined him in eternal undeath. Now, Isabella is a powerful Vampire in her own right, and may be seen stalking the front lines bearing the Blood Chalice of Bathori. When she joins Vlad on the same battlefield, their combat prowess is multiplied, each standing shoulder to shoulder with their beloved in death! Beginning play with ownership of Western Sylvania, Isabella may now be chosen to command a Grand Campaign as the leader of the Von Carstein family. In addition, Vlad has been removed from the Vampire Counts faction select screen, and may now also be chosen to lead a Von Carstein campaign. Living legend : Isabella inspires Vampire Heroes in her retinue to unholy feats of combat prowess. Any Vampire Heroes in her retinue gain bonuses to their Melee Attack, Melee Defence and Weapon Damage statistics. Isabella can also field more Vampire heroes than any other Lord. Undying Love : Invigorated by each other’s presence, Isabella and Vlad gain bonuses to their melee attack and melee defence characteristics when they appear on the same battlefield. Quest Chain : Isabella may embark on a quest to attain the Blood Chalice of Bathori, her unique wargear item. In battle, this improves the weapon damage and regeneration of nearby allies. Loremaster : as a powerful Vampire Lord in her own right, Isabella wields the Lore of Vampires. Unholy handmaidens : Isabella begins play accompanied by two Vampire Heroes.
