This years Sylum Inspiration will tie into the Sylum Monthly Calendars.
Since January 2016 Calendar was of Ehre/Weisheit – we’ll be showcasing each week in January a character from that particular Clan.
Updates will either be on Sunday or Monday.
So for this week’s Sylum Inspiration – Wilhelm Brandteschtein
It’s that time of year! Autumn has come even in California…ish.
Fall is a big time for Sylum. There’s crops to be brought in, festivals to prep for, and a time for all to come together.
For the rest of it – its scramble to get stuff done for Advent!!
Is officials up to date. Well up to date as it can be. There’s always going to be edits, additions, and moving things around.
But it’s done. It will be revealed during Advent! So must be patient for a while more! But believe me it will be worth it.
Totally Bios: 1002 (Because someone had to add a new guy just after I declared it’s officials done … pointedly looks at that someone)
Total Clans: 19
Total Enemies: 81 (Alive and Dusted)
Total Mutants: 10
Total Aliens: 4
Total Meridii: 31
*collapses in a heap*
Iz so done.
Wanders off to add the 1002 bio ….
Lately the bunnies have been roaming wild about Alexander. A lot to do with the recent discoveries at the Amphipolis Tomb.
Didn’t help that my dad just got back from visiting Turkey/Greece and I swear brought home bunnies. Bob’s now using him for bunny smuggling purposes.
As last night was the Finale of CSI…. No I didn’t watch it – I really had no interest as the show ended for me a long time ago.
But still 15 years!! And since CSI was part of how Sylum started it deserves a nod of thanks and gratitude.
So here’s to Nick & Warrick! Still major Sylum Inspiration after 10 Years.
There are a variety of Pirates through out Sylum and they usually come with their own ship.
Likely the most famous of Pirate Ships is the Black Pearl. Anyone would recognized the black sails and ship coming out of the fog heading straight for them.
Then there’s the Dutchman. No one wants to see this heading in their direction. No one.
Lastly there’s the Jackdaw which will be introduced – when the time is right.
It seemed fitting this week to post Paris, France for Sylum Inspiration.
It may have something to do with the major story I’m working on that involves…
Paris is a major location in the Sylum Universe. Passion Kin Clan has a home base there, many characters come from France, and there are at least three major storylines with elements set with in Paris.
The Great Pyramids
They are a World Heritage site, and one of the Wonders of the World. It’s a recognizable skyline, and the moment anyone sees it, you know what it is.
These Pyramids are distinctive for the Medjai Clan and have been for thousands of years. As more stories emerge for the Medjai, the history of these great structures will also start to be showcased.
Just. Another. Really. Very. Intelligent. System.
Also known as:
Friend, confidant, pain in Tony’s ass – best friend.
He’s a sophisticated AI … that has spread beyond boundaries he was once regulated to. He is also very important in the future of Sylum as an AI.
Hmmm – Maybe I should’ve done this as a Character Introduction!
Caesars Palace
Iconic Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. In opened in 1966, and despite hardships today is still standing.
For Sylum – Caesars is owned by Nicolaus Meridius through so many shell accounts and variety of companies not many know it’s his. Daniel Ocean is the Hotel Manager, Basher Tarr is his Head of Security, and now Rusty Ryan is Casino Manager.
Rumors have there’s mob money in the hotel, but it was built all on Nico’s money and banking investments. It’s Roman themed for a reason, and the largest penthouse is the Meridii Villa.
Not that you can go to Caesars and ask for the Meridii Villa – they may look at you weirdly!!
Caesars isn’t the only one owned by Vampires. The Bellagio is owned by Terrance Benedict. The Monticeto (aka Mandalay Bay) is owned by Ed Deline and his Mate Daniel McCoy. The Paris is owned by Issac Evans.

Quick Comment: This Sylum Inspiration will be up for two weeks, as yours truly will be on Vacation next week!
We’ve introduced Merry & Pippin along with Aragorn and Boromir. Figured it was time to introduce Nico’s section of the Fellowship of the Ring.
Legolas is a golden retriever and Gimli is a Basset Hound. The two mostly stay in Nico’s personal office/study and guard the door. If Nico doesn’t want anyone into his study, leading to his and Warrick’s personal room, they don’t let them in.
Gimli is talented at slamming his heavy weight against the door to stop any intruders.
The inspiration of many artists, writers, musicians, thieves…
As we have Leonardo DaVinci in Sylum it was only fitting to have his famous masterpiece. Well that and Mona Lisa herself still bitches about the painting. And we won’t mention how many times Raphael stole it, forged it, or just annoyed Leonardo about it!

Y’all are probably scratching your head going – why is an empty leash this weeks Sylum Inspiration. I mean after all… it’s well… it’s empty!
Today’s Inspiration is all about Billy!! Murdock’s pet dog that has been his loyal companion for a century!!
Wait…what?
Billy is very special, he’s Murdock’s guide to know who’s friendly and who isn’t. There are those beyond Murdock who can see Billy, and even interact with him, making them part of Murdock’s world. Billy’s important in Sylum not because it’s the ‘visual joke’ or ‘reference to the TV Show’, he’s important because he represents those Vampires that see the world different from others. He showcases the vast spectrum of type of characters and people in the Sylum Universe.
So the question is …
Can you see Billy?
As one who has been to DC a few times, this monument is awe inspiring.
The Washington Mall where it’s located has been described in a variety of Sylum stories, and will be the back drop of many more.
It’s also important as Abraham Lincoln has a major roll in the Sylum Universe.
As I’m working on Shogun Clan – I thought be interesting to showcase the Terracotta Warriors.
The Terracotta Army or the “Terracotta Warriors and Horses” is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210–209 BCE and whose purpose was to protect the emperor in his afterlife.
The figures, dating from approximately the late third century BCE, were discovered in 1974 by local farmers in Lintong District, Xi’an, Shaanxi province. The figures vary in height according to their roles, with the tallest being the generals. The figures include warriors, chariots and horses. Estimates from 2007 were that the three pits containing the Terracotta Army held more than 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which remained buried in the pits nearby Qin Shi Huang’s mausoleum. Other terracotta non-military figures were found in other pits, including officials, acrobats, strongmen and musicians.
My father had the privilege of visiting the museum last year. He was in awe of the vast amount of warriors and the history surrounding them.
