History
Moldavia is a geographic and historical region and former principality in Eastern Europe, corresponding to the territory between Eastern Carpathians and Dniester river. An initially independent and later autonomous state, it existed from the 14th century to 1859, when it united with Wallachia as the basis of the modern Romanian state; at various times, the state included the regions of Bessarabia (with the Budjak) and all of Bukovina. The western part of Moldavia is now part of Romania, the eastern part belongs to the Republic of Moldova, while the northern and south-eastern parts are territories of Ukraine. [1]
In 1849, the vampire lord Dracula traveled to Castle Peles in order to entertain himself with a young peasant girl named Marta. Little did Dracula know, was that Marta's lover, Nicholae Bulinski was a creature of the night himself - the Wolfman. Bulinski tracked his lover to Dracula's keep and found them just as Dracula was readying himself to drink Marta's blood.
He leapt at Dracula and a savage battle ensued. The Wolfman maintained the upper hand and their fight carried out into the courtyard near the cliff's edge. Dracula managed to gain an advantage over the Wolfman and used it to grip him firmly about the throat. Marta appeared behind them and tried to impale the vampire with a broken weather vane. Dracula lashed out at her, and she fell backwards, impaling herself on an upturned piece of wood. She died moments later. Dracula turned before the Wolfman could react and kicked him over the edge of the cliff. [2]Points of Interest
