== History ==
==== Opening of the Iron Door ====
After graduating from Oxford, Eli Podgram returned to his ancestral home at Castle Podgram. While walking through the forest, he accidentally opened the locally infamous Iron Door, releasing the vampire once known as the Archduke of Szlig. Podgram was turned by the undead monster into another of its kind, and Podgram desired retribution. After it attacked a ten-year-old girl named Mara, Podgram was able to slay the vampire but was unable to end his own life. He was found by the local priest, Father Ignatius, and an ambitious doctor. With Ignatius on his death bed, the priest agreed to a complete blood transfusion. Podgram was saved, and Ignatius died. Unbeknownst to them all, Ignatius was revived as vampire, held imprisoned in his sacred vestments. (PROSE: Blood of My Blood)
==== Twilight World invasion ====
The supernatural entity Azakan of Ishboleth, of the Third Depth, vengeful of having lost a preferred host in the form of the Archduke, conspired to entrap Podgram in his home, and destroy him. Using the vampirised Father Ignatius, a werewolf from the north, and the assumed form of Anthea-Gwen Jones, Azakan lured Podgram, Mara, Podgram's assistant Hugo, and Professor Raymond Imrie to the valley. Azakan used its supernatural abilities to torment Podgram, and caused murders, rapes, and mayhem in the town of Tzgarnic. Podgram's group eventually proved successful.
