Umbral Kingdom

The Umbral Kingdom is the homeland of the vampires. Vampires are insular and distrustful of outsiders; Lunarians, who they share an affinity with, are a significant minority in the kingdom. The vampires of the Umbral Kingdom value strength highly; successors to the throne are decided through a tournament rather than inherited. They invented blood magic and are skilled in shadow magic. The Umbral Kingdom is the only conservative nation and non-hereditary monarchy in the End.https://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/795858792143257631/1280369845418070057
