Vampire Lore

The actual lore behind our Vampires begins with Morgana, a 5,000-year-old vampire. Many deemed her to be a myth, legend. In the eyes of her people, they saw her as a dragur, ghost. They are more human-like in nature compared to other views on vampires. A lot of inspiration is drawn from Norse mythology, Vampire Chronicles, Trueblood, Underworld, combined with the gothic, horror, romantic view of them. They live nomadic lives, creating aliases for themselves to blend in amongst the humans. A strategic way of keeping their identity hidden. If they are found out, death awaits is their consequence unless someone comes to their aid in defense.

Blood consumption for vampires is an essential part of their survival. They can eat human food but are not fond of it, not because of the taste, mainly because it does not give them the same sustenance as human Blood.

Weaknesses:

• Silver weakens them. To completely kill a vampire, they have to be burnt to ash.
• Can be in direct sunlight not exceeding 5 hours. If it exceeds five hours, they have to find shelter as soon as possible. Start to become deathly ill, and old wounds become impossible to heal. Recovery depending on exposure can last a day to two weeks. If not recovered, they can die.
• Not immune to garlic. It can eat human food for blending but despise the taste.
• Vampires are immune to pain killers based on the fact they don’t need it. However, they can use uppers and psychedelics.

Abilities:

• Compulsion of humans; Able to control them mentally
• Enhanced Senses and Strength
• Healing abilities: Older the vampire the quicker it is
• Blood flow Vision: Able to see significant blood vessels in victims

Ambience

Triad of Desire

It’s the nineteenth century in London where high-class society, haut ton fashion was all the rage, etiquette, and patriarchy was at its peak. Though already the world’s largest city, London is growing at an exponential rate: in size, finances, and population. The recent influx of Irish immigrants flocking to the city, fleeing the Great Famine had the streets bustling with those determined to take advantage of the economy and make something of themselves.

Society was already highly stratified and patriarchal, despite the recent crowning of Queen Victoria that later bestowed this era its name. Evidence of this could be found in the extreme differences among the population. The slums were the worst place one could be. People who lived there were mainly factory workers, prostitutes that worked for the middle class. Sickness and death ravaged the slums, making it unbearable and unsanitary. For those who couldn't afford a proper burial, dead bodies were thrown into the Thames, creating a pungent smell throughout certain parts of the city.

On the contrary, those in the middle class were the bourgeois of business owners who made something of themselves. Some found ways to get out of the slums. Aristocrats and other members of high society were where the money was at, living in lavish homes and having highly comfortable lives. These were people of virtue by birthright who came from wealthy families who helped the economy flourish.

Those at the top were generally there by birthright. Men carried most of the wealth and influence upon society. It was men who had the most mobility, either coming from money or making something of themselves. The women were much more restricted.

Still, there was a power to be had for those who had wealth and those who had social status. But some had both. In the public eye, they were sought as ideal citizens; in other words, celebrities. This particular group of elitists was highly admired because of the fact that they were vampires and had a mysterious allure about them, yet their identity remained secret.

Though Queen Victoria ruled Britain and London within, hidden forces were at work, rivaling that power in many ways. Nestled conspicuously amongst the city’s elite population, multiple vampire clans commanded authority over the city of London, making the metropolitan their hub for underground activities. Most of the current vampire groups could date their lineage back to the original vampire. Their fingers were far-reaching, from control of the development of medicine to the brothels and slums. Their impact created competition in London’s economic growth; thus, Queen Victoria refused to have peace. Vampires were not ones to back down after being hunted to near eradication. Fear of the consequences wrought on any who might dare cross them kept people in line. Vampires at this time were diplomatic and self-governing. Their Siress and Queen of the Vampires, Nathalie Thévenet, was ruthless and would do anything to protect her kin.

Queen Victoria felt threatened that her control was waning. She had not been superstitious and didn’t believe that vampires existed, despite evidence to the contrary. It was only when signs and attacks became clear; Queen Victoria’s fear led her to become a zealot against the vampires, fulfilling the prophecy.

This story is about a human female/male who falls for two of the wealthiest and eligible bachelors/bachelorettes in London. How she/he gets there is up to you. These gentlemen/women cater to high-class society when it comes to their business, and she works for them. Will she/he become their most prized possession? What will this triad relationship turn into? What goes on in the vampiric community as a whole? What becomes of the coven?
