''Princes of Darkness'' is a GameMod for ''VideoGame/CrusaderKingsIII'', is set in the world of TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade.
The year is 1230 and Constantinople was just sacked in the fourth crusade. But behind the {{Masquerade}}, vampire princes battle and scheme against each other. In addition to accumulating their own power and gaining enough blood to sustain their existence, these vampires also seek to keep a force called [[EnemyWithin the Beast] from taking over.
While the Vampires are concerned with this, humans are not merely content to wait and be fed upon. The [[CreatureHunterOrganization First Inquisition]] has emerged and, under the guidance of the Catholic Church, is prepared to fight against Vampires.
The mod can be found [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2216659254&searchtext=princes+of+darkness here]].

!! This GameMod provides examples of:
* ActionGirl:
** Vampires are extremely formidable compared to mortal humans, regardless of gender.
** Of the six Inquisitor Orders, two of them (the Red Order and the Sisters of St. John) are all-female.
* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: The first version of the mod only let you play as vampires, and that is still the main focus of the game. But later updates added ghouls and inquisitors.
* BadassNormal:
** Subverted with Great Men. They are spawned in Vampire realms by events, but this is usually so the local Prince can embrace or ghoul them.
** Zigzagged with Inquisitors. Some are blessed with divine powers, but others are just normal humans with training.
* BeautyIsBad: The only Nosferatu with no deformities is a SinisterMinister who was embraced [[BeautyToBeast as punishment for his vanity]] and who subsequently swore allegiance to demons in exchange for his beauty.
* CorruptChurch: Zigzagged. Some church officials are secretly vampires, and one of the holding buildings that vampires can build represents corrupting the local clergy, but the Inquisition is zealously devoted to their mission and can always rely on the Pope to send them funding on a regular interval.
* EvilMakesYouUgly:
** Upon being embraced, a Nosferatu usually gains either a trait from the ugly line or a deformity trait.
** The Cappadocians gradually become pale, thin, and corpse-like after being embraced.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Even during the Middle Ages kindred society was worried about Gehenna and the risk of being annihilated by the Antediluvians.
* OpenSecret: A vampire's generation is considered a secret trait, but if a vampire can trace his sire-lineage back to Caine then determining his generation is usually as easy as counting down.
* MasterApprenticeChain: This is the most common form of perpetuating one's house.
** Vampires are incapable of sexual reproduction, and so must embrace new humans into Vampires. A new vampire is considered the childe of the one who turned him.
** With the exceptions of the Oculi Dei and the Murnau, Inquisitor Orders follow a VowOfCelibacy and thus can only replenish their numbers by inducting new members. In game terms, a new member of an order is considered the child of the one who inducted him and her.
* {{Masquerade}}: It's in a vampire's best interest to keep this intact, as letting it get too low will bring the attention of the inquisition.
* TorchesAndPitchforks: Vampires and Inquisitors can both utilize these against enemies.
* SwarmOfRats: One of the Nosferatu legacies allow for the training of these as retinues. They're weak and cheap, encouraging the player to use them in large numbers.
