The Drowned in Immortal Empires
Cylostra is the ghost of a Bretonnian singer who drowned aboard the Lamprey. Her faction belongs to the Vampire Coast even though her origins lie in Bretonnia. Choose her for a supernatural fleet led by a sea witch.
The Drowned uses the shared ship-building, Pirate Cove and Infamy systems. Her spectral identity and summoned allies change the way the army fights, while fleet development still supports recruitment and expeditions.
Give the ghosts a useful entrance
Cylostra can summon spectral Bretonnian knights. Use them to threaten a flank or interrupt an enemy approaching the gun crews, while the main formation continues firing. Place a summon where it can influence the fight rather than leaving it isolated beyond support.
A Rotting Leviathan is among her mount options. Consider how its size changes her place in the formation: a spellcaster on a large monster still needs space to move and support from the army. Keep the gun line’s view clear when choosing her position.
Support beyond the summoned knights
Deckhands provide a regular infantry screen, and Deck Gunners add sustained firearm support. A Vampire Fleet Captain offers another magic choice; a Gunnery Wight or Mourngul Haunter adds a specialist shooting or melee role. Summoned allies work alongside these troops during an engagement.
The Drowned, and Curse of the Vampire Coast
Curse of the Vampire Coast unlocks Cylostra Direfin with the other three admirals. She leads The Drowned. The Academy legend makes her the favourite court singer of a Bretonnian king, drowned on the voyage to sing for the Phoenix King, and later the spirit aboard the Lamprey. Spectral knights and a Rotting Leviathan are the battle options already on the lord page. Deck Gunners still need a screen.
Harkon, Noctilus, and Aranessa share the fleet systems. Her magic and her summons are the difference in the battle.
