Wołosate: The village with which Lucasz has an agreement with the Village Elders, allowing him a certain amount of villagers -usually prisoners or undesirables- to sustain his Clan - in exchange for his Clan leaving the majority of the residents alone. The Catacombs: A large, man-made set of tunnels lying 50 ft below Wolosate cemetary. The entrance to the Catacombs is a tomb with Maxim's insignia carved into the door. Some of the tunnels lead to rooms where the Clan's living quarters are. They have a gathering room (akin to a living room) and each member of the Clan has his or her own chambers. When one of the Clan members passes, their bodies are burnt and the ashes are interred in the Catacombs. Vampire Lore: Vampires are supernatural creatures who once used to be human. While the parasitic spirit that resides within them all grants them immortality and the inability to age, they must feed it with blood. Animal blood can sustain them for a short period but human blood must be obtained. If human blood is not obtained, Vampires spiral into a long and painful descent into madness, frailty and malaise. They are incredibly strong and are able to move at high speeds, making them appear to disappear and reappear at will to mortals. The 'Turning' process takes three days to complete. Two of those days are excruciating for the Fledglings, and the third brings about disassociation while their bodies adjust to their new physiologies. Their nails are like glass, though strong, and their fangs sit where mortal canines would sit on both the top and the bottom of the jaw. They cannot go in sunlight, as it will cause them to burst into flames and slowly burn to death. If the death is not completed, they can recover but will be permanently scarred. Stakes through the heart do not kill them, but decapitation does. There are three types of community structures in Vampire Society. Covens - Tend to be ruling or noble parties. Tend to enjoy hedonism and embrace The New Way. They hold quarterly balls for socialising, brokering alliances and mediating disagreements between the covens. Clans are, too, invited to these balls. Covens are the largest community structure, with very little in the way of rules outside of what their Sires demand. Each Coven holds 'court' within themselves and they take humans freely without fear of consequence. They are vulnerable to hunters but, by sheer force of numbers, they are hard to annihilate fully. There are multiple Sires in each Coven. Human 'pets' are commonplace. Covens tend to live in lavish, sprawling homes with all Coven members under one roof. Clans - Clans are smaller and, generally speaking, have stuck to The Old Ways. They are more akin to a family unit than a court and, while they may attend Balls that are thrown by Covens, their celebrations and socialising tend to be kept between Clans. Clan Sires tend to seek out the leaders of local human villages to negotiate truces on whom can and cannot be fed from, and whom can and cannot be taken - either as a 'donor' or as a 'pet'. Clans live in more rudimentary homes such as catacombs, tombs or smaller, more subtle homes. Tribes - Following neither the New or Old Ways, Tribes are groups of 'wild' Vampires who have taken to living amongst cave systems and forests. They don't participate in Coven or Clan politics, do not attend Balls and act mostly on instinct. They do not keep Human 'pets', though may abduct travellers who wander into their territories to feed from. The Old Ways: A set of rigid, unyielding rules and regulations meant to help Vampires to control and dominate their urges - civilising the beast within that demands blood.

1. Vampires cannot be created from the crippled, the maimed, or children.
2. Only the Sire can create. Breaking this rule is punishable by the Maker watching their Fledgling be put to death.
3. Vampires who kill other Vampires are put to death by way of the Sun. Only a Sire can put another Vampire to death.
4. Fledglings cannot move between Clans, Covens or Tribes. Until their impulses are kept in check, they belong to their Sires. Likewise, Fledglings cannot marry members of other Clans or Covens until they have mastered their control of their instincts.
5. Fledglings are duty and honour-bound to obey their Sires.
6. Feeding must be contained. Gluttony is not tolerated, and neither is excess. Vampires must only take what they need to survive. The New Way: There are no set rules for the New Way, which focuses on beauty, art and hedonism far more than it does on rules and structure.
