The Wars of the Vampire Counts, also called the Vampire Wars[2a][7c], were three major wars fought between the divided and feuding rulers of The Empire, bitter rivals during the Age of Three Emperors, against the Vampire Counts of Sylvania. The Dwarfs, High Elves and Wood Elves would also fight at the side of their human allies.

Notes

  • For unknown reasons several sources state that the Mannfred's Winter War began in 2032 IC[1c][2d][3b], which is a simple and quite obvious mistake. Mannfred became the ruler of Sylvania only after Konrad's death (2121 IC) and for a whole decade did nothing, waiting for a renewal of the civil war between the feuding rulers of The Empire. It seems to be a case of: "the old book gives a wrong date and the new books copy the mistake again and again". The last army book provides the correct date.Needs Citation
