A great and powerful whip wielded by the ancestors of the Belmont clan, starting with Leon, to defeat Dracula a.k.a. Matthais Cronqvist. The whip was given to Leon Belmont by Rinaldo Gandalfi in its original form of the Whip of Alchemy. It became the Vampire Killer after a ritual where Leon's betrothed (fiancee) Sarah Trantoul willingly sacrificed herself to give the whip more... err... vampire killing power.
The whip was used to kill Dracula (repeatedly), succubi, vampires (duh!), a whole lot of other nasties and Death itself.
The vampire killer is the closest the Dark ages came to Dakka(shootiness not weed), excepting actual projectile things
A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
