I seem to recall reading an interview where Steve said that he knows how Vlad dies... This indicates to me that godhood is not so likely for him. (Of course, Steve has been known to change his mind on things from time to time.) >That might mean that that whole "An Easterner can leave the Paths of >the Dead" is a big whopping half-truth, or more bluntly, a lie.
