Patron Lore and Sub-Bookmarks (Patreon)

Patrons!  Since our October release to Steam Workshop and Paradox Plaza, we've been working on expanding to Patron custom characters two features very popular with our latest public release: namely Sub-Bookmarks and the Lore icon.

Now currently available in the development build of the mod: the Patron War main bookmark now highlights the Antediluvian tier characters.  We have also added sub-bookmark for each clan for the Patron War, and with those sub-bookmarks every Patron character of Elder (Count) to Antediluvian (Emperor) tier are now shown on bookmarks at the start of the game. We have also added sub-bookmarks for Zadruga, Revenants and Ghouls.

The most recent public release saw an end of the investigate scheme (which might come back in a different form) and a replacement with a Lore icon on canon characters with lore in the mod. Clicking on the World of Darkness icon on those canon character records spawns and event that shares the lore of the character.  We've now added for Patron characters with lore a Dark Pack logo to those character records, which will share the lore of those characters as an event.  This lore is also used in the Sub-Bookmark character selection screen. There are still some changes to make in editing this lore for grammar and typos before we would share it in the public build (which is probably at least 3 months away); so there is time to review your character for improvement.

While many of you have already submitted lore for your characters, some of you have not.  If you would like to submit lore, please send an email to info (at) princesofdarknessmod.com with a subject "POD character name", for example "POD Ghazia Khatun" with any lore you would like to share.  Right now is a good time to also suggest any other changes you would like for your character such as changes to dynasty, house, personality traits, character DNA portrait, coat of arms, etc...

Since the release of Ruler Designer as part of base CK3, players have been able to easily create their own portraits for characters, so if you have changes or new DNA portrait information for your character you can email it to  info (at) princesofdarknessmod.com.  Please use the Ruler Designer with Princes of Darkness mod loaded, particularly if you plan to include blend shapes from POD like pointy ears or other more monstrous features.  If there are any other graphical features you would like such are permanent red eyes, a particular hair style or not to load in with a crown by default; please let us know in that email.

We greatly appreciate your continued support from your funding, to your comments in discord, play testing the dev build, promotion of mod to others, participation in the survey, your help to other new players in Discord and on the forums, your Let's Play on Twitch and YouTube, and your own fan contributions to the lore. The mod is much better thanks to your support!  

We have more great stuff coming in the future like Cainite Knightly Orders, Camarilla and Sabbat mechanics, Gehenna events and integrating the mod with the Royal Court DLC.

We just gained 90,000 subscribers on Steam Workshop and we look forward to building the mod together!
