Description: Sanguinia is a pretty domain that resembles Renascence Germany. It has temperate forests covering the nearby mountains. Although cooler than most domains it is by far the warmest region in the Frozen Reaches and can get hot in mid-summer hitting 30C in the hottest days of a particularly warm year. OOC: In real life Moscow can get that hot in summer. In winter it can -35C and less . The main city is Mirceaovnia which is named after the prince's father and is a city of 15,000. The city thrives on the fur trade, trading fur for food. There is also the surrounding farms that do well during the long summer days and fishing. The inhabitants are unusually resistant to diseases with +2 to their saves. This does not apply when fed upon by the dark lord, indeed they automatically fail in that case.
They are also slightly prone to madness with a -1 to their madness saves. They are normally an outwardly cheerful lot, particularly when approaching the 30th of the month. During the last week of every month is the great fair where people drink, carouse and gamble after work. During the daytime during that week the upper class sees plays, listens to music and feasts. The fair starts out restrained but gets more and more wild during that week until the last day which is really wild. The reason is a superstition where it is belived that it is the riotous living on the 30th that prevents more than one person being killed on the "day of dread".
The domain has a hard time affording it as it has fallen on hard times after the plague but the fear of the plague spreading again without the festival is too strong to stop it. . However the domain is slowly recovering as children are born and people are moving in from Vorostokov as it is warmer and more prosperous than Vorostokov.

He appears to be a very handsome man in his mid 20s and is quite charming except for once a month when he changes into a Vrykolaka Vampire. He has a very good reputation with the locals as a result and is a hit with the ladies. He is far more upset about his ugliness once a month than the murders.
On the 30th of every month which is the same day of the month as the day he died he turns into a Vrykolaka Vampire and has to drain one person that day and pass on his disease. The natural resistance that the locals have to disease and the fact that they put the victim in quarantine right away prevents the disease from spreading. He always attacks the first person he sees alone and out of sight. He sticks to shadows and wears his boots of elvenkind. Due to his curse there will always be one or more people out alone. The town has not figured out that there is a vampire out there, they think the town is cursed.
