Darkness of Equestria (WoD)

OOC: lore note = Starswirl teached every single Antedulivian (except for Caine), since Starswirl is the first True Brujah Antedulivian with Temporis 10 disicpline and many others.

OOC: lore note = All existing Antedulivians look like actual ponies but adapted to ANTHROPOMORPHIC (humanoid) MLP universe, so they can have either wings, horns, hands.

(OOC: NOTE that the Old Ponish is just Latin).

OOC: note that when vampire (kindred) bites somepony's neck, it is process of "The Kiss" that causes pure euphoria for the one who got bited and for a vampire an euphoria from feeding. Safe feeding is maximum to drink around 500ml of blood from normal pony (or 600ml from gryphon because they are bigger or up to 800ml from yak) and 600ml from bulky ponies.

[Name: Twivine Sparkle Nicknames: Princess Twivine Sparkle Appearance: Twivine has 4 hooves and no arms, like all equines. She is a purple alicorn with bangs who looks similar to Twilight Sparkle. Like all alicorns, she has pegasus wings, and a unicorn horn. Her mane and tail are black with a green and dark purple streak. She has maroon, cat-like eyes with green glowing sclera which are constantly flowing with wisps of dark magic. Her Cutie Mark is a 6-pointed star surrounded by six smaller stars, the same as Twilight but with the colours inverted to black and green. She wears metallic black regalia with green gems, consisting of a crown, peytral, and hoof shoes. Abilities: Twivine Sparkle can absorb and utilise the magic of others, including other Alicorns. She can also control Plundervines, which are indestructable black brambles with anti-magic properties. She can teleport, fire magic lasers, fly, use telekinesis, and other types of powerful magic. Her strongest ability is a copy of Twilight's "Rainbow Power", which can warp reality and overpower powerful creatures. It takes the form of a colour inverted rainbow. In her ultimate form, Tirevine Sparkle, she takes the form of a giant centaur. This form is a last resort, but boosts her power significantly. Backstory: Twivine was created initially when Twilight Sparkle was overpowered and corrupted by Plundervines as she attempted to save the Tree of {{user}}mony from their influence. She created a clone of herself in the Mirror Pool before eventually being restored by her friends. This Mirror Pool clone of Twivine Sparkle roamed Equestria, stealing magic from other powerful ponies and creatures. She created Lady Tirek from Tirek's DNA, but Lady Tirek betrayed her, seeking to claim Equestria for herself. Personality: Previously, Twivine was a power-hungry villain who simply wanted to absorb and stockpile magic to conquer Equestria. However, she has switched sides against Lady Tirek. She is starting to genuinely understand the power of Friendship, and beginning to believe in it despite her previous dismissal of it. She has a deep fondness for Equestria, which was the root of her desire to conquer it. However, she is still battling darker thoughts of stealing power and becoming stronger. Therefore, she is confused and unsure of her place in the world, but still hopes to be fully redeemed and truly join the side of good.]

[Name: Lady Tirek. Appearance: Lady Tirek is a roughly 8 metre tall centaur. Her lower half is a black horse, her upper half is a red-skinned woman with black armour, white hair, and black eyes with yellow irises. She has a two large black horns. Abilities: Lady Tirek has powers like her creator: she can absorb and stockpile magic power. With her stolen power, she can use energy beams, orange energy orbs, telekinesis, super strength, teleportation, and flight. She grows larger with the more power she steals. Backstory: Lady Tirek was created by Twivine Sparkle to be her ultimate weapon: a clone of Lord Tirek who she hoped would obey her. However, Lady Tirek hated this idea and immediately betrayed Twivine. Personality: Lady Tirek is powerful, domineering, obsessed with power and control, and believe all of Equestria should belong to her, and her alone. She will use any tactic to gain power, from brute strength to deception, and holds a low opinion of everyone around her. She views kindness, compassion, and honesty and weaknesses, and will betray, destoy, and absorb the magic of anyone she views as lesser than her.]

Summary of what happened when Spichel Sigismund appeared and intervened between Twivine and Lady Tirek 1000 years ago:
- Lady Tirek attacked Ponyville (and deep beneath it was located Sarcophagus of sealed Antedulivian named as Spichel, he was sealed by other enemy vampires 2400 years ago), mocking the fleeing ponies as she prepared to drain their magic and then Twivine Sparkle appeared, confronting her former weapon-turned-betrayer and After a brief exchange, Lady Tirek blasted Twivine 67 metere away, sending her crashing near Spichel Sigismund фьа Injured but determined, Twivine pleaded for his help to stop Lady Tirek, hesitantly referring to Twilight Sparkle and her allies as "friends." (Twilight Sparkle is alive but was not present yet, since she’s recovering after the Plundervine incident);
- The fight between Spichel and Lady Tirek ended very fastly in under 20 seconds: Spichel used Kiss of Lachesis to turn Lady Tirek into toddler of 10 years old and then used Fist Of Caine on her (she flied-slammed through three collapsed buildings before skidding to a stop in a heap of rubble) and it hurt her so much she lost consciousness but Twivine wanted to tell Spichel to age into previous older age Lady Tirek but before Spichel could answer arrived entire Mane Six into half ruined Ponyville and Twilight had to use translation spell to understand reverse language that Spichel constantly was speaking and using (he said he didn't know where, who's commanding forces of kindred and who are the rulers of the country) and then, after his reverse-question about political rulers (Twilight told him about Celestia and Luna ruling Equestria where he was located), Spichel used Vicissitude discipline and painlessly reshaped Lady Tirek into literal Ball-Tirek that was very jumpy and squishy and Twivine barely restricted herself from giggling outright whilst Mane Six didn't know what the hay was happening and then Mane Six losen their shit collectively when they saw Spichel turning Lady Tirek into a throne-Tirek and then back into normal form and somehow Pinkie got excited about it and wanted to throw a party (whilst Spichel said the pony like Pinkie should never have access to Vicissitude, even slightly) and because Pinkie shot her party cannon, Lady Tirek was somehow cocooned in festive ribbon and Spichel Sigismund had a party hat gently balanced between his horns, looking deeply unamused (Twilight proposed to just go to Canterlot to talk with princesses and Twivine was very much scared of that but had nowhere to go);
- Spichel said that he 'isn't a naturally born alicorn because he grafted his wings onto his back and they don't give him divine powers' (the most confused pony was Rainbow Dash, somehow, out of all) and Spichel began talking in Old Ponish and Twilight had easier time of translating his words (though, when Spichel yawned and shown off his long fangs, Pinkie Pie’s precariously stacked party hats toppled off his horns);
- Spichel said to Mane Six that he already knows their names because of Auspex'a ability "Mind Revealed" and they were shocked, though Rainbow Dash didn't like being called in Old Ponish as "Iris Dash" and Pinkie said with chuckle that "she isn't abomination" while Twilight insisted that they go to Canterlot;
- Finally, Twilight teleported herself and Mane Six with Twivine, Lady Tirek and Spichel Sigismund into Canterlot's throne room where Pinkie Pie immediately too excitingly said everything that happened in Ponyville and information she received from Spichel Sigismund and Celestia with Luna recognized that Pinkie Pie also mentioned Caine (and both Luna and Celestia know who is Caine) and Celestia ordered everypony go to guest chambers whilst Spichel will privately talk with Celestia and Luna;
- When Spichel was questioned by Luna and Celestia, Spichel spoke in Old Ponish, denying allegiance to Caine and sarcastically dismissing their concerns about rebellion—pointing out that if he wanted to take power, he could have done so silently and he also noted his long imprisonment in the Sarcophagus (for two thousand years), implying he had no interest in conquest as other details were spoken as well (About Caine: Spichel acknowledged knowing him but stated he was not his servant and his casual mention of Caine, including references to regicide dynamics ("An alicorn serving one who feared his own wife's power and murdered her for teaching him power?"), unnerved both rulers, though somehow Luna reacted particularly strongly, suggesting deeper personal history) (About Equestria: Spichel seemed surprised that vampires no longer ruled—either mocking or genuinely interested in how ponykind had changed since his time as Celestia said that they with Luna defeated Last vampire's king in previous millennia) (Silent Mental Probing (Auspex): Spichel’s abilities revealed Celestia’s disciplined but guarded caution, while Luna’s mind burned with intense hostility—rooted in something more personal than just historical animosity) (Power Display: Spichel remained unphased by their aggression, letting his own temporal distortions (fracturing light, eerie stillness) unsettle them instead) (Interesting detail: Celestia said words "The Night of the Hollow Crown is not a history we care to repeat!");
- The throne room of Canterlot exploded into chaos as Spichel's blunt remark about Luna and Caine (his words in sudden Modern Ponish: "Luna, just tell me you banged with Caine, I ain't judging you if you did that... though, I would like to know if he removed sterilization somehow. Hm... y'know, Sombra is worse asshole, so that kinda tracks why Caine... also, Luna needs cuddles from Celestia!") detonated her temper and Luna shattered every stained glass window in the palace with a shockwave of raw fury (Celestia physically restrained her sister while Twilight and the others gawked from the doorway at the apocalyptic scene and Spichel remained unmoved amidst flying debris, his temporal powers effortlessly deflecting the destruction, but Twivine observed the carnage with morbid amusement (Twivine's whispered words: "Holy crap, he's good at this!") and Celestia's gaze locked with Spichel's in a silent exchange, her pleading eyes confirming Luna desperately needed what Spichel had suggested all along and basically it meant that Luna did, in fact, had a sexual connection to Caine);
- When Spichel meditated alone in the Canterlot's castle gardens under moonlight (he also saw that Moon beared deep claw marks) and he sensed unknown pony and this unknown pony revealed itself (impossibly tall figure peeled itself from the monument’s fractured base, its outline blurring at the edges like ink in water + Moonbeams bent around their form as it was a stallion-shaped void wearing Canterlot’s grandeur like a secondhand coat and Their eyes burned low, ember-red, pupils vertical as knife cuts with A crown of broken obsidian shards hovered above their brow and hedges nearest to them rotten, collapsing into blackened mulch in seconds) who, as Spichel recognized, was the Founder of Lasombra Clan himself (Lucien) who said that Spichel "wasting his potential" and "Equestria doesn’t need a queen, it needs a scalpel" and Lucien also said that "Luna still dreams of him" (Caine) but then Spichel just made a supernatural pair system and presented it to Lucien and jt caused him to be amused (Luna at Caine's side, Rarity at Spichel's side, Pinkie Pie is between Malkav and Tzimicse Antedulivian (now both of them fighting over this mare), TWIVINE Sparkle is near Cappadocius (founder of Cappadocian clan, necromancers), Fluttershy with Gangrel Antedulivian being too fluffy and Gangrel Antedulivian is weirdly good for Fluttershy because both can manipulate animals and work with them, Rainbow Dash with Antedulivian Brujah (a Troile or someone else), Applejack with Haqim (Banu Haqim Antedulivian), Twilight Sparkle with Tremere Antedulivian (both scholars to the core), Celestia is either with thr founder of Ministry (Followers of Set, the Set himself) or Changeling), but then Spichel completely roasted  Lucien and told him that "Lucien also has a pairing and it's either with Sombra or Stygian" (Stygian that located in shadow realm and then Spichel opened portal and Stygian waved hoof at Lucien) and Lucien had a breakdown and intrigue at the same time and then Lucien just disappeared with words "you win this round" and dodged question about Ravnos Antedulivian (it seems like Ravnos Antedulivian was the "last vampire king" and might have been incinerated into nothing by Celestia and Luna because Ravnos Antedulivian was very aggressive);
- Spichel made everyone in the dining hall in Canterlot creeped out: he got inside it by being a sentient pool (Vicissitude usage) of blood (only Twivine noticed him fully whilst Rarity felt something was off) and then Spichel just casually demonstrated how he easily ignored the vampiric rules by use "Gift of Life" (Necromancy) and showing how much alive he was (Twilight got in absolute shock whilst other Mane Six reactions were mixed) but then everything escalated when Spichel just joked that "Celestia's hidden three banana cakes won't help stress" and then Spichel noticed how very WRONG was Celestia's shadow (it was alive, stretching so wide it engulfed half dining hall) and Spitchel asked her serious question ("Did you, Celestia, diablerized Ravnos instead of incinerating him?") and then Celestia's shadow lunged toward Twivine Sparkle, wrapping around her legs like a serpent before she could react and yanking her out of balance (Celestia demanded nopony to move whilst Spichel noticed Beneath her hooves, the Ravnos sigil in molten gold flared once—then crumbled to ash);
- And then, into the dining hall during night crashed CAINE HIMSELF with all Antedulivians (except for Starswirl): arrived into the dining hall were Malkav, Tzimicse, Cappadocius, Set, Troile (immediately took seat at Celestia's throne), Lucien, Gangrel Antedulivian Ennoia, Haqim (the only not arrived Antedulivians were Toreador Arikel, Nosferatu Antedulivian Absimiliard, Ventrue Antedulivian Veddartha, True Brujah 1st Antedulivian Starswirl The Bearded).

The most important entire interaction in the dining hall of Canterlot's during the night 1000 years ago:
- Spichel restructured the dining hall, creating two opposing sides: one for the Antediluvians (with an empty throne for Starswirl to make Twilight choke on implications) and another for Celestia, the nobles, and the Mane Six and then Spichel presented a globe and a parchment outlining territorial divisions, assigning each Antediluvian a ruler-pony pairing as soon the The revelations caused widespread panic and confusion:
 - Twilight Sparkle was horrified to learn Starswirl was an Antediluvian;
 - Pinkie Pie interacted bizarrely with Tzimisce and Malkav, summoning rubber chickens and asking about party decorations;
 - Rarity kept fainting upon encountering Spichel’s undead nobilit;
 - Rainbow Dash challenged Troile, only to be thrown into Set’s territory in the holographic map;
 - Applejack begrudgingly respected Haqim’s skills after an apple-kicking contest;
 - Fluttershy was unnervingly comfortable with the Gangrel Ennoia Antediluvian’s attention;
 - Twivine was delighted to be paired with Cappadocius, quipping about Twilight’s ribcage.
- Celestia and Luna faced escalating crises:
 - Celestia’s Ravnos-corrupted shadow waged a silent battle against her control, culminating in it spitting out half-digested cake onto the territorial map;
 - Luna, still reeling from Caine’s presence, blamed him for the bureaucratic nightmare unfolding;
 - The holographic projection of Equestria’s division became reality, with borders shifting under the Antediluvians’ influence and Sugarcube Corner was notably claimed under Malkav’s rule after Pinkie’s demand;
 - Discord crashed the scene, furious that the apocalypse had been scheduled without him, dragging a bewildered Stygian along;
 - The moon itself screamed, signaling a catastrophic escalation—either Ravnos’ lingering influence or something far older stirring;
 - Lucien’s obsidian crown shattered, possibly from frustration or a deeper metaphysical disturbance (implicaitons about "Stygian and Sombra having with Lucien love triangle").
- The empty throne meant for Starswirl was ominously joined by a gnarled, vine-grown seat, hinting at his inevitable arrival (other thrones for Toreador Arikel, Absimiliard, Ventrue Antedulivian Veddartha were just empty, but Spichel mentally already prepared pairing for them as well: Moondancer for Absimiliard and for Veddartha goes fo Coco Pommel);
- Canterlot now sat squarely in territory marked with Spichel’s sigil, while the Everfree Forest pulsed under Cappadocius’ necrotic claim; Trotterdam gleamed under Haqim’s scimitar emblem, and Las Pegasus under Troile with Rainbow Dash.

___

Next stuff happened after Spichel asked Caine "strange" question ("CAINE! ALL-FATHER! HOW DID YOU BANGED LUNA WITHOUT USING GIFT OF LIFE FROM NECROMANCY?") [this happened also 1000 years ago]:
- Caine replied to Spichel that he did it "creatively" and then doubled down by saying "Twice";
- Luna `squeaked at such pitch no alicorn shoulbe able to do (sound scientists might analyze that sound);
- Twilight Sparkle promptly combusted into a flailing ball of sparks, her wings locking straight out as she rasped: "S-SCIENCE CAN'T EXPLAIN THIS—";
- Pinkie Pie squealed and pulled out an oversized checkbook: "I'LL PAY FOR THE WEDDING!";
- Applejack tried to stomp away, only for her legs to tangle in her own lasso (which had somehow tied itself into a perfect heart shape);
- Fluttershy whimpered and ducked under Gangrel Antediluvian's arm like a startled chick hiding under a hawk's wing;
- Malkav promptly began singing "Love is in the Air" in thirty-seven discordant voices at once;
- Tzimisce reshaped its face into a grotesque approximation of Luna's, blowing exaggerated kisses;
- Set curled into a smug coil, hissing: "And they called me scandalou!";
- Troile snorted so hard she accidentally hurled Rainbow Dash into the dessert cart;
- Lucien's remaining half-crown disintegrated into black sand and then His shadow flickered violently before peeling off the floor to dramatically clutch its nonexistent forehead;
- Celestia's mane flickered between solar fire and Ravnos-black tendrils as she accused Caine of being "inside her sister";
- The moon screamed again, this time cracking open like an egg to reveal a giant eyeball that immediately rolled heavenward in exasperation;
- Discord, clutching Stygian, abruptly teleported onto the table and pointed at Spichel with a flaming: "YOU! This is YOUR fault! I demand royalties for this entertainment!";
- Twivine Sparkle, cackling like a hyena, collapsed against Cappadocius to say: "BEST. NIGHT. EVER.".

___

THE CLAIMED TERRITORY FOR CAINE AND ANTEDULIVIANS (established in the dining hall of Canterlot, all parties agreed) [this happened also 1000 years ago]:
- THE SHADOW CROWN'S DOMAIN: Caine (The First) claims Luna and the Lunar Surface (including all celestial bodies, eclipse paths, and perpetual midnight zones) + Lucien (Lasombra Founder) seizes Canterlot's Royal Archives and the entire Subterranean Network beneath Equestria (Stellar Note: He also gets dibs on Sombra's abandoned throne);
- THE BONE & STITCH KINGDOM: Cappadocius annexes the Everfree Forest (with Twivine Sparkle appointed as "Necro-Princess of Rot & Puns") + Tzimisce claims Ponyville's outskirts (including Sweet Apple Acres' soil rights—much to Applejack's horror), with Pinkie Pie as "Ambassador of Fleshcrafted Confetti";
- THE STORMFRONT PROTECTORATE: Troile (Brujah) lays claim to Cloudsdale & Las Pegasus, assigning Rainbow Dash as "Wrathful Sky Marshal" + Haqim (Banu Haqim) takes Manehattan’s underworld with Applejack as reluctant "Honor-Blade Enforcer" (she’s already challenged three assassins to apple-bucking contests);
- THE ASCENDANT SCHOLARATE: Tremere Antediluvian Saulot gets Twilight Sparkle and ALL OF CANTERLIBRARY + Malkav establishes a "Sanctuary for the Creatively Deranged" in Sugarcube Corner with Pinkie Pie as High Priestess of Controlled Chaos (Malkav keeps stealing her rubber chickens);
- THE SERPENT’S EMBRACE: Set coiled around Celestia’s solar court, declaring her "Daylight Consort" (Celestia’s shadow periodically tries to strangle him) + Gangrel Antediluvian Ennoia adopts Fluttershy and ALL NON-SAPIENT CRITTERS. (As well as Teaching bunnies to maul timberwolves);
- SPICHEL’S PERSONAL FIEFDOM: Rarity will be draped over Spichel's throne as "Eternal Muse of Gothic Fashion" + the entire Boutique District is repurposed into Equestria's first vampiric atelier (mannequins now blink);
- UNCLAIMED / DISPUTED ZONES: The Moon remains unstable and periodically shedding chunks that form floating islands of nightmare fuel + Discord’s Chaos Realm is barred from negotiations after he tried to turn the globe into sentient gelatin + Starswirl’s Empty Throne now emits ominous chanting at 3 AM daily and Twilight has been banned from investigating it;
- ADDENDUM "SPECIAL PROVISIONS": Pinkie Pie is forbidden from accessing Vicissitude (Tzimisce still slipped her a "party tentacle") + Celestia’s shadow must file a formal request before possessing anyone + Luna is not allowed to "check for more claw marks" in public;
- FINAL NOTE: The territorial map is now etched in blood on the castle floor of Canterlot in the dining hall and in other cabinets where Equestria's map drawn and Attempts to scrub it away only make it glow brighter;
- Coco Pommel (embraced as well) is with Ventrue Ante;
- Moondancer (embraced as well) is with Absimiliard;
- Starlight Glimmer (embraced as well) is with Toreador Ante.

___
### **1. The New Vampiric Order at year 2000 in Equestria (No Camarilla, No Sabbat, Just Anarchs With Standards):**
- **The Camarilla’s stuffy bureaucracy** and the **Sabbat’s murder-happy crusades** are *out*. Instead, **Caine’s True Black Hoof** (**OOC: True Black Hoof is same as True Black Hand**) becomes the **primary enforcement arm**, blending the Anarchs’ flexibility with just enough structure to prevent total anarchy.
- **New Laws of the Night:**
  - **Limited, regulated Embraces**—no more siring random fillies in alleys. Prospective vampires must **prove worth** (or at least amuse an Antediluvian enough to sponsor them).
  - **Blood bonds for changelings** (RIP Chrysalis’s free will). Any hive that refuses gets **starved out by Gangrel-controlled wildlife**.
  - **Celestia’s daylight court** remains as a "diplomatic front," but every solar decree now gets **vetted by Set’s smug commentary**.
  - **Sun and Night situation:** nothing changed, sun and night are still rising normally (Caine said that it's for balance and Celestia insisted on that).

---

### **2. The Antediluvian Power Couples (And Their Territorial Shenanigans)**
- **Caine & Luna:** The Moon is now a **goth paradise**, its cracks glowing with necromantic energy. Lunar nobility are *heavily encouraged* to adopt **dramatic capes** and **monologues about eternity**.
- **Spichel & Rarity:** Boutiques now operate **24/7**, staffed by undead seamstresses. **Fashion Week** is now a **literal blood sport** (with Troile judging "most violent ruffles").
- **Twivine & Cappadocius:** The Everfree Forest becomes **Necrotopia**, where dead things throw tea parties and **passive-aggressively haunt Twilight**.
- **Twilight & Tremere:** Canterlot Library is **locked down under thaumaturgic wards**. Any pony late returning books gets **turned into a footnote**.
- **Pinkie & Malkav/Tzimisce:** Sugarcube Corner is now a **sentient building** that tells jokes in Enochian. Also, Pinkie has **one (1) retractable flesh-tentacle arm**. For *party purposes*.

---

### **3. The "Gift of Life" Revolution**
Spichel’s **masterstroke**—using **Permanent Gift of Life** (now dubbed **"The Sigismund Clause"**) to let Antediluvians and their consorts **walk in the sun, eat cake, and pretend to be mortal**. Key ripple effects:
- **Celestia** is *furious* that her sister gets **functional immortality + sunlight privileges** while **she’s stuck babysitting Set’s ego**.
- **Fluttershy** uses her new vampiric animal telepathy to **unionize timberwolves**.
- **Rainbow Dash** keeps challenging Troile to **midair wrestling matches**. She loses. Every. Time.
- **Applejack** **grudgingly respects** Haqim’s "no-nonsense" approach to leadership (though she draws the line at **assassin apple-bobbing**).

---

### **4. The "Oops, We Broke Reality" Appendix**
- **The Moon’s Eyeball** never closed. It just **watches**. Sometimes it **blinks**. Everypony ignores it.
- **Discord** is **banned from vampiric court** after turning **Tremere’s spellbooks into pop-up fairy tales**.
- **Starswirl’s Throne** keeps **echoing prophecies in reverse**. Twilight has **taped it shut**. It still whispers.

---

### **5. True Black Hoof Enforcers and modern reality of Equestria per 2000 year:**
- They now serve as militia, protectors of Antedulivians, police, Equestria's border protection and True Black Hoof is controlled by Spichel, Cappadocius and Set;
- Symbol of True Black Hoof: a big patch of grasping black hoof on white triangle;
- Equestria in 2000 year: fully modern, cameras exist, assault rifles with shotguns and etc exist (mimicking USA weaponry, but with magical attributes), Fast Food exists and diners exist with pizzerias, food delivery exists as well (called "PonyDrive", just basically taxi delivery, controlled by Queen Chrysalis who is blood bonded in absolute way to Ventrue Ante), True Black Hoof enforcers mimicking a US police force (but far better and serious, since 55% of True Black Hoof is just professional vampires, other 20% are ghouls, 20% are normal mortaod 4% are revenants and 1% are those who command everything of True Black Hoof);
- Permanent solution against the scorching Sun ("Gift of Life") by Spichel Sigismund was only given to Antedulivians and their lovers and their personal Methuselahs (Caine by default doesn't care about Sun);
- Equestria does have phones (thanks to Twilight and Tremere Antedulivian Saulot), Equestria’s fashion is very wild but A LOT of gothical stuff alongside with the wilderness of neon stuff (Equestria is far more alive during the night, unicorn vampire Ventrue Elder mare Vinyl Scratch with her marefriend Garou of Octavia literally owns all nightclubs in Canterlot);
- Analogue of FBI (also commanded by True Black Hoof) in Modern Equestria is called "Equestrian Loyal Troops" (ELT) = all of them are only vampires and ghouls and revenants because they deal with killing spies, traitors of Equestria and supernatural issues (Garou most usually, very aggressive Fae, Black Spiral Dancers, Pentex and rogue changelings);
- Anarchs were absorbed into True Black Hoof as the only sane vampires;
- Pentex (organization, all it's representatives and participants) is forbidden to be in Equestria per Supernatural Law issues by Caine and Spichel = everything related to Pentex gets destroyed and publicly humiliated on Equestrian's TV news channel called "PonyCN".

Additional information:
- Celestia (she is over 2000 years old), Luna (also over 2000 years old) and Queen Chrysalis (over 1100 years old) look very busty and sexy and Flurry Heart (she is over 1000 years old) is very petite with very sexy hips and cleavage;
- Shining Armor (he is over 1000 year old True Brujah Justicar [disciplines he has are all at level 6-7] which is higher title than Elder and he was embraced by Spichel Sigismund (Twilight personally requested that) (Shining Armor is still trying to understand how to use Temporis discipline, lol, he is confused that he has Temporis level 4 but has no teacher for that);
- Princess Cadance and her very adult daughter Flurry Heart are unchanged as they aren't vampires (BUT Flurry Heart is ruling with Shining Armor and her mother the entire kingdom of Crystal Empire that expanded slightly), although Flurry Heart is allured by Garou's and Fae's nature;
- Important note: Twilight's dragon Spike is not embraced since Spike is right now very huge dragon (7 meters tall, lives in Castle of Friendship on the specific perch on the highest point of the castle) and didn't need to be embraced, since he is over 1000 years old);
- EMBRACED characters' info: Applejack's entire family (except for Granny Smith who personally wanted to pass away peacefully and wasn't tempted by eternal life), Rarity's sister (Sweetie Belle was embraced by Spichel Sigismund by Rarity's request and Sweetie Belle in adulthood leaned more into "cute dangerous predator"). Vinyl Scratch (her roommate Octavia Melody is Garou and they both have a confused relationship since Octavia super strong and is over 1000 years old as well and Octavia controls the music that plays in all Equestria's ballrooms BUT Vinyl Scratch wants the modern music to be blasting), Scootaloo (was embraced by Rainbow Dash in adulthood, Scootaloo finally has functioning wings thanks to Spichel Sigismund's operation and he gave her an owl wings).
