    Same here. I second Fawkes's proposal of "Durkon (with an asterisk)."

    I still think that he's the actual high priest. Whole abdication is just for show to manipulate the rules of godsmoot. How about a vote?

    I vote for Durkon*, and indeed for that nomenclature for all vampires. If we are doing priority voting, then my second vote is for Durkon(with asterisk), again only if this will apply to all otherwise unnamed vampires.

    My concern for the second one is that it is too similar to the way we track alterations.

    I mean, that's certainly arguable. But that's the problem - it's arguable. So it has the potential to cause confusion, which is why I no longer favor it as Durkon*'s primary moniker.

    I don't think it's particularly debatable. But since there's clearly disagreement, I would be fine switching to "Durkon*".

    Great! It also has the added benefit of being usable for other vampires, e.g. tracking Gontor and "Gontor"* separately, if we decide to do that (not sure if we are right now).

    In all seriousness, it seems like a frost giant (the getup is just like the High Priest of Thrym), but of course there's hardly enough information for the sake of this thread.

    I know I called it a frost giant based on the outfit, but now I'm not so sure - the skin tone looks tan or olive-brown-ish(?) as opposed to blue as in Thrym's high priest. So maybe it's just from the same civilization as that high priest, so to speak, but not the same race. Although Yrthaks are Huge, and the rider doesn't look more than one size category smaller than the yrthak, so it would be Large...

    I really wish that Roy had decided on something better than "Durkon but with a mental asterisk", and if he had, I'd say to use that, but given that that is what he decided, I think that the way martianmister has it now is the best option.

    Does that mean the vampire should be referred to as martianmister?
