Editing Von Carstein (section)

==Relations==
* Chaos
** [[Beastmen]]
*** Vampire encounters with Beastmen in lore are rare, since both tend to serve the purpose as "guys attacking the Empire" although in [[Total War: WARHAMMER]] Isabella remarks that "They would be beautiful if they weren't so disgusting."
** [[Chaos Dwarfs]]
*** Chaos Dwarfs have no concern or interest in the Von Carsteins.
** [[Daemons]]
*** Daemons have virtually nothing to do with the Von Carsteins as Vampires are outside of the cycle of life and death, their souls never returning to the Warp.
** [[Warriors Of Chaos]]
*** The WoC have no concern or interest in the Von Carsteins prior to End Times, when they became rival forces.
* [[Dwarfs (Warhammer Fantasy)|Dwarfs]]
** Von Carsteins antagonize the Dwarfs a great deal, and the Dwarfs aid the Empire whenever they can. As a result the relationship is quite unfriendly and the Dwarfs are more likely to attack the VCs than the other VC Bloodlines.
* Elves
** [[High Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)|High Elves]]
*** Prior to the taking of the Everprincess by Mannfred, the Von Carsteins were not a concern of the Asur so long as the Empire was still a buffer against Chaos. Afterwards they are one of the worst enemies, second only to the Dark Elves.
** [[Dark Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)|Dark Elves]]
*** Dark Elves have no concern or interest in the Von Carsteins. Would probably mad enough to trade with them like any vampire pirate they encountered.
** [[Wood Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)|Wood Elves]]
*** Wood Elves have no concern or interest in the Von Carsteins, but will still kill them on sight like any undead since the taint of undeath kills their trees. Similar incident happened when Heinrich raised a bunch of wraith and killed a lot of trees and elves in the [[Athel Loren]].
* Humans
** [[Bretonnia]]
*** The Von Carsteins have almost no contact with Bretonnia, being geographically separated and having no reason to go after the Frenchies when the Germans are still putting up a fight. Still, they would disavow them if they ever met due to their decree against all undead as well as the similar experience they had with the mousillon undead.
** The Empire
*** The main enemy of the Von Carsteins, seen by the VCs as uppity livestock wandering the fields without masters.
* [[Lizardmen]]
** Lizardmen have no concern or interest in the Von Carsteins, but will probably still kill them on sight since they are not part of the old one's plan. Plus, lizardmen already had the similar experience with a vampire pirate known as Luthor Harkon, who set up a remote port base on their backyard.
* [[Ogre Kingdoms]]
** Ogre mercenaries in the Empire, as well as the population living in Ostland, would be concerned about the Vampire Counts but the Kingdoms themselves are likely to work alongside the Von Carsteins as they are to be against them.
* [[Orcs & Goblins]]
** Lack of fucks given. Just another enemy to fight. But their relationship were much better when Azhag had Nagash's crown and the 
Von Carstein wants it for their master's resurrection.
* [[Skaven]]
** Skaven are generally concerned by the undeads due to their history with that particular frightened lich known as [[Nagash]]. Outside of Mordheim they would not acting directly against the Von Carsteins or any other undead in particular since they can't eat their corpses for food. That is unless they carry warp stones.
* [[Tomb Kings]]
The Tomb Kings see them like they do any other vampires, enemy number one (though some of the more unscrupulous Tomb Kings may work with Von Carsteins, [[Settra the Imperishable|Settra]] has [[Blam|a zero-tolerance policy on vampires and working with them]]). However, being geographically separated means their forays are usually limited to small expeditions. Prior to the End Times, their only interactions were Mannfred stealing some scrolls from their tombs to prepare for Konrad's inevitable downfall and a team-up of Khalida and Arkhan the Black to hunt down a Von Carstein vampire with one of Nagash's staffs.
* Vampire Counts
** [[Strigoi]]
*** While the Von Carsteins had nothing to do with their fall, they have still managed to become a hated enemy. Wandering Strigoi find themselves manipulated into being pawns or simply eliminated to prevent them from bringing unwanted attention from the Empire to the region. Or simply because the Strigoi doesn't know when to stop regarding feeding on the peasants, possibly getting a delicious maiden or elderly warrior that someone who could ''appreciate'' the meal could have had. Strigoi in return hate the rich fucks in their fancy castles while they're stuck shivering in cold damp caves.
** [[Lahmian]]
*** The second main enemy of the Von Carsteins after the Empire. While the Von Carsteins want to kick [[Karl Franz]] off the throne of the Empire, stick his head on a pike, and make the architecture look like Tim Burton's Dracula wet dream the Lahmians have already taken over the Empire. As well as Bretonnia, Cathay, some Dwarf Holds, part of Ulthuan, and just about everything else not affiliated with Chaos. The two are direct rivals for power, the Von Carsteins pretending to be vampire overlords in crumbling castles while Lahmians pretend to be human overlords in well-furnished and modern decorated castles. Much of the intrigue not related to ruling the world of both Bloodlines is against each other, with a small amount left for kicking Strigoi in the teeth for lulz.
** [[Blood Dragon]]
*** Despite the Dracula connection, Blood Dragons have almost no meaning to Von Carsteins. Neither factors into the plans of the other, neither are a nuisance to the other, and generally speaking there's no known conflict between the two.
** [[Necrarch]]
*** Necrarchs have the same relationship with the Von Carsteins that they do the other Bloodlines (Strigoi excluded). Necrarchs build monsters or discover new spells, they sell them to the Von Carsteins for gold or supplies. While in theory a rivalry with a resurrected Nagash (that the Necrarchs worship) would cause a conflict, in End Times the Necrarchs joined the Von Carstein bloodline but otherwise stayed in the background.
