Treasures

The Count wields both a thundercloud and the Crimson Curia, an unruly collection of counting numbers pledged and ghouled to him through the sacrament of Blood Communion. The thundercloud serves principally to protect him from the terrible light of the sun; the Crimson Curia helps children learn their letters and numbers and extorts protection money from the various residents and businesses of the Street.
