Vampires

A vampire is anyone who has been infected with Sanguinare Vampiris. Vampires are able to be identified by their crimson eye color, slightly pale complexion, and weakness to blessed silver. While theoretically a vampire can go without drinking blood for as long as they wish, it is a very ill-advised thing to do. The longer a vampire goes without feeding, the weaker they become, until they are unable to use any of their powers. In order to stay well fed, a vampire must drink about half a liter of blood every two days.

When the Nelltherians occupied the Nine Kingdoms, they started a witch hunt, hunting down and killing any vampire, werewolf, and supernatural being they could find. Because of this, most vampires fled into the wilderness, secluding themselves in caves and abandoned forts.

Vampires live in covens. A coven consists of the leader and anywhere from two to thirty vampires, though most are not larger than twenty. The coven leader has final say on any matter that the coven deals with, and it is a very respected position. Most covens are very civilized, though some have reduced themselves to a more feral state.

Most vampire covens are located in the northern half of the Primrose Forest, which spans from Rosemoor all the way down to Ibatrea, with parts of it spreading into Etria, Angleos, Rhoditrus, and Fayhaven as well. Nelltherian troops constantly patrol the borders of the forest to prevent anything from leaving.
