The Exhumation and Execution of the Vampire
A formal inquisition was held at the Chapel of Karnstein. The grave of Mircalla was opened, revealing her body perfectly preserved, with a faint heartbeat and blood in the coffin. Following the legal procedure for vampire execution, a sharp stake was driven through her heart, causing her to shriek. Her head was then cut off, and a torrent of blood flowed. The body and head were burned on a pyre, and the ashes were thrown into the river. This act ended the vampire's reign of terror in the region.
