All across the Old World are dark tales that speak of the Black Coaches. These are omens of disaster and death. It is a horrific, unholy thing from the realm of Undeath, neither wholly real nor wholly immaterial. A Black Coach is a herald of famine, war and murder, the sight of which can drive a sane man to suicide and cause families to fall upon themselves in senseless killing. Many an Imperial road warden or Bretonnian knight has mistakenly attempted to halt one of these ghostly apparitions, and died for their troubles. Legends say the driver of a Black Coach is a terrifying Wraith, and grisly, insubstantial steeds pull it. A Black Coach feeds on the souls of mortals, growing more powerful on the spirits of those slain nearby. Driven on by the undying will of the Vampire within, the Black Coach tramples enemies into the ground, and its mere presence can drain the blood from a man.

When a Vampire is ‘slain', its body may crumble to dust or immolate into a pile of ashes, or otherwise decompose. For the most powerful Vampires, this does not necessarily signal their demise, for its wicked spirit can live on even in these frugal remains. If a Vampire's followers can gather its physical remnants, they can construct a coffin in which to keep the unholy remains safe. This gives the Vampire's servants time to perform certain rituals that will create a carriage to bear the remains of their lord while it regenerates.

By summoning a Black Coach, the Vampire's retainers can transport their master's rejuvenating form to places of slaughter such as battlefields and plague-stricken towns. This allows the Vampire to revivify itself on the coalescing Dark Magic.
