There was no Ruler, no ne ruled the lands they just wander the earth really, and still do at the begining of the roleplay, Till the count Returns to take a king postion. If anyone like to play the poor Sap of a vampire that challenges him. The vampires are not blood thirsty till they get their chance of destorying those around them, Werewolves (because werewolves killed many pure blood vampires including the vampires father Dracula)
