A forbidden road is traveled.
Old alliances are tested beneath ancient stone.
Secrets move through the shadows faster than blood or steel.
And when a demon comes calling… it is never by accident.
Darkness did not end with Dracula’s fall—it reorganized.
After the Siege of Castle Dracula, the Impaler was bound into dormancy rather than destroyed, his throne sealed and his will fractured across bloodlines, oaths, and shadowed factions. In the vacuum left behind, the Crimson Hand reclaimed the castle—not to rule, but to wait—while the Five Houses of Vlad maneuvered for inheritance without a crown.
As the Hunter’s Enclave reeled from loss and divided focus, new watchers gathered around the Vale of Shadows, recording movements, measuring tremors, and guarding a seal that must never break. Whispers spread of blood rituals begun too soon… and of a resurrection attempted without patience.
Meanwhile, within the Demonic Legion, fractures deepened. Authority was questioned. Loyalties tested. And in the aftermath of betrayal and illusion, a truth was exposed: some masks are worn for survival… others for conquest.
Now, an ancient enforcer moves openly.
A gate forbidden stirs.
And the balance between watcher, hunter, and monster begins to tilt.
Tonight—
Krampus comes to Castle Dracula.
The Rise continues…
A doctor resurfaces.
A secret network tightens its grip.
And from the North Pole to the Alaskan wilds, the Misfits learn that some shadows stretch farther than anyone imagined.
