Missing Special Herdstones

Everyone is aware of the big Beastmen update that added the ability for Beastmen to erect Herdstones in settlements. Everyone should also be aware that various racial capitals have special Herdstones that grant a universal buff and a Melee Attack buff against the culture the capital corresponds to. These were all great improvements but there were some things missing. Southern Realms, Tomb Kings, Vampire Coast and Skaven just have generic Herdstones in their racial capitals and other racial capitals (which I'm defining as settlements where one or more races have a special main settlement building that has extra slots and possibly other bonuses) lack special herdstones as well. That's where this mod comes in which aims to fix this issue as well as add some additional adjustments to some of the existing special Herdstones. Everything that goes unmentioned is unchanged.

Noctilus merely exploited an existing magical phenomenon. Chaos has far more imaginative designs.
Grants a Ward Save in increments of 1% per level. More powerful than the others but in all likelihood, the player will not be able to complete the Ritual of Ruination there and thus must sacrifice a Herdstone Shard for the bonus.

Man's first civilization survived the death of its people but will not survive the Age of Chaos!
Increases Leadership in increments of 1 per level. Mutually exclusive with The Blackened Pyramid.

No amount of Gold or mercenaries could have stopped the tides of Chaos. All nations of Man will fall!
Increases Magic Item Drop Chance in increments of 3% per level. Mutually exclusive with Evil Replaced with Evil.

The Horned Rat is nothing more than an upstart daemon to be taught it's place as servant to the true Gods of Chaos.
Increases Beastpath Evasion Chance in increments of 2% per level.

No Dwarf, Skaven, or Greenskin can lay claim to the Eight Peaks any longer for the Cloven Ones have left nothing but ruins.

The Old World's den of scum and villainy has met a fitting end, at the hands of a force much more despicable than they could ever be...
Grants a Melee Attack bonus when fighting Humans. Increases razing income in increments of 3% per level. Mutually exclusive with the Principality in Ruins.

With the birthplace of vampirism in ruins once more, the city has truly earned the moniker of "The Cursed City".
Grants a Melee Attack bonus when fighting Tomb Kings or Vampire Counts. Increases the recruit rank of Wargors in increments of 1 per level. This will not show up in the landmark icon tooltip due to a vanilla bug.

The First City of the lizardmen reduced to ash, the once beautiful Emerald Pools now run red with the blood of its guardians while mutated beasts crawl out of the spawning pools. The Children of the Old Ones will never recover from this!
Increases casualty replenishment rate in increments of 1% per level.

Throughout the depths of Hellpit, the creations of ordered fleshcrafting fought the fruits of chaotic mutation. The erratic mutations of the Skaven were bested by the much more ordered mutations of Chaos, thus proving the Dark Gods are the true masters of mutation.
Increases Melee Defence in increments in 1 per level.

The Pirate King of the seas has been brought down along with his Grand Armada. Neither the Lizardmen nor the Pirates can lay claim to the coast any longer for it now belongs to the Cloven Ones...
