are in fact powerful living vampires, the result of a
bloodbond ritual with a powerful god of death. They easily

VAMPIRIG ORIGINS
Uncounted centuries ago, the noble families of a now-
forgotten kingdom sought a way to increase their life span
beyond the meagre years allotted to them by their human
heritage. They were approached by a mysterious entity
known only as the Red Witch—a searlet-clad figure who
offered to them a blond:-bonding ritual with a dark lord
that would grant them the vitality of vampires without
subjecting them to the taint of undeath. In later centuries,
these creatures became known by the name of the first
noble family to forge the pact: the Vrylokas.
