Night Court 1.5 Update (Patreon)

Princes of Darkness Mod has been updated for Crusader Kings III 1.5, this includes some integration of Royal Court DLC  as optional content with the mod.

Artifacts

The World of Darkness has a number of prestigious and magical artifacts. Princes of Darkness is no exception. Some of these items are in the possesion of canon characters according to lore at the start of the 1230 Bookmark. Others are distributed randomly through the world. Some can only be gained through completing certain objective decisions.

You can read a list of all 121 artifacts available in the mod today at the Princes of Darkness Mod Wiki: Artifacts

Book of Nod

One of the more complicated artifacts is the Book of Nod, which is an artifact that can be assembled by combining ten other books.  Having any one of its component books, allows for reading of just that section of the book. Reading the book has a low chance of potential outcomes like learning lifestyle experience gain or gaining stress.  The more off the Book of Nod assembled, the more powerful it becomes, both in its passive benefits and in active reading.  Pieces of the Book of Nod are spread throughout the world at 1230 bookmark, some with canon holders from the lore, others randomly spread among rulers with high learning.

Darker Courts

All royal court scenes adapted to a night time look. No sunlight will be streaming through the windows to destroy vampires. We have made extensive use of chandeliers, fireplaces, candelabras and floor lamps to provide illumination. Shadows have been intensified.

Primogen

Integrating with the Royal Court Positions, Primogen can now be chosen.  A member of each clan can be appointed to the position of Primogen.  What constitutes aptitude varies by clan.  A poor or terrible Primogen gives a malus, while good and excellent Primogen provide bonuses. Clans expect to have a Primogen, and will be displeased if they do not have one. Each 5 years, a mood of the clan event will proc to give a ruler where they stand in regards to clans and their representation.

Great Persons and their Inspirations

The Great Persons system has been reworked : If no player is eligible for a Great Person spawn, it's now much more likely that a powerful, higher tier, AI will grab them, instead of a random one. If a player is eligible for a Great Person spawn, but refuses it, the Great Person will end up embraced by a nearby AI ruler instead of wandering off. If the player acquires a Great Person, there is now a risk that a competitor will interfere, making the player having to deal with them. The Great Person wiki page has been reformatted, now showing Great Persons per region and dates of spawn, allowing for a better view of who will be available and when in your campaigns. Many great person characters will spawn with an inspiration to create an artifact.

Ancient Cultures

Princes of Darkness Mod has added a few "new" cultures: both fantastical and historical: Enochian, Punic, Old Egyptian and Coptic. Each of these cultures have languages. Ghemalish is also an available language. Canon characters and Royal Courts will have such cultures and  languages as appropriate.

Dazzling Grandeur

A clan Toreador independent ruler with Kingdom or Empire title will have access to a special decision if they meet some additional requirements: 

• All available Primogen court positions filled with Primogen of at least good aptitude.
• Court Grandeur level of 10 (or 150000 prestige if you do not have the Royal Court DLC).

The reward is a Toreador Grandeur modifier:

• Monthly Prestige Multiplier: 100%
• Cultural Head Fascination Multiplier: 100%
• Dynasty Opinion: +15
