Canon Information

This section contains canon info from officially published sources |
Despite their resemblance to vampires, vampyres are as mortal as any humanoid. Like vampires, they feast on the blood of humanoids. The victim of the vampyre's bite is targeted by its domination ability.[1]
The darklord of Forlorn, Tristen ApBlanc, is a vampyre by day.[2]
Vampyres can be encountered in the following domains: Darkon[3], Falkovnia[4], Richemulot[5] An infestation numbering in the hundreds has infiltrated society in Lekar. Although they existed prior to their "prince" Vladimir Ludzig's arrival from an outlander world, the vampyres have built secret feeding houses where humans are kept as cattle and playthings. The Lekar vampyres are not without human allies, and some of these vile individuals, such as Vlad Drakov II, may partake of the same indulgences the vampyres do at the feeding houses.[6] On the Prime Material Plane, a whole country, Vladantilan, is ruled by the vampyres, who treat the human population as slaves and chattel.[7]
Vampyres may honour a rite of passage, requiring an individual to slay a vampire.

Descriptive Text
“At first, I took them for beautiful and depraved humans, their depravity made all the more loathsome by their beauty. Several long seconds passed before I noticed the salient details — the clawlike nails, the feline cast to their features, and the fiery gleam in their eyes. As I staggered back against the door, they stalked towards me, like wolves closing on a cornered hare.
“Alanik, of course, was already on the move…”
—Arthur Sedgewick, “The Nest of the Vampyres,” The Casebook of Alanik Ray[8]
