The Vampires

General Vampire Stuff

 * Vampires and dhampir are undead.
 * They are vulnerable to the sun, radiant damage, silver, and holy water
 * Vampires have to feed on mortal blood once per month.
 * They don't necessarily have to kill the person
 * the feeding can be spread out over multiple people

Vampire Society
Vampire Society is divided into three strongholds and clans. From there it is highly stratified, with titles given to each vampire showing their lineage and place in society. The highest being Queen, her children are Prince or Princess, and so on until the common Lord or Lady. There is no moving between ranks, as rank is determined entirely by sire.
 * Blackwater
 * Hemlock

Rank and sire only matter between vampires. Dhampir are uniformly treated terribly.

The Ritual
Vampires and are created in a series of rituals.
 * The first turns a mortal into a dhampir.
 * A vampire drains a mortal person until their heart stops, and then has a few moments to inject their own blood into the heart of the dead mortal.
 * If they survive that, it takes about five years before they are in control enough to be allowed out on their own.
 * A sire is held responsible for any attention or deaths caused by a wayward dhampir. Punishment is often death.


 * The second ritual turns a dhampir into a vampire
 * The process to this is unknown, but it requires the approval of the Queen.

The Vampire Laws
Vampires are held to very strict laws by their clan. Disobeying any of them results in harsh punishment, at best, but usually it results in death.
