Christinel Family Tree

## Family History:

The Christinel family were quite farmers outside the small town of
Black Hollow in the Highlands of Pneumanor. Timon Christinel married
Teresa and they had four kids. There were two boys and two girls. Samuel, Victoria, Sorin and Tabitha.
Timon Christinel was a good man who loved his family and always sought
what was best for them. However, this was a harsh land full of darkness
and despair as well as corruption and manipulation. Black Hollow was
controlled by the vampire overlords.

Samuel the oldest kept the sheep, while the youngest Sorin and
Tabitha looked after the cow and chickens. Victoria the oldest girl was
different though. She liked to wonder the fields, hills and woods
nearby. In her wanderings she would dream of life outside the farm. It
was on one of these walks that Victoria first spotted a vampire.

The Vampire was tall, thin with black hair and pale blue eyes.
Victoria was fascinated by the Vampire. The Vampire introduced himself
as Nicholas Vaughn. Nicholas told Victoria that he had seen her in the
woods before and that he had taken up the habit of watching her.
Victoria was pleased to hear that the creature had shown interest in
her. Nicholas was very kind to the girl and after a time of conversation
 bid her farewell and kissed her hand.

Victoria dreamed about the Vampire that night and when she awoke
she only desired to see Nicholas again. So again she went for a walk and
 again found the Vampire waiting for her. The two met like this for a
long time and became lovers.
It was at this time that the Christinel’s younger son Sorin became ill.
His color left him and he started to become weak. For many days and
nights, he spent in bed. After a week and a half of this strange
sickness Sorin succumbed and died. It was a sad time for the Christinel
family. However, Victoria did not seem as distraught as the other
members of her family, after all she was in love.

Not long after Sorin’s death Teresa and Tabitha stared to show
signs on the illness. This troubled Timon greatly and he spent most of
his time tending the field. So this left Samuel to take care of his
mother and sister as Victoria was mostly nowhere to be found. As Samuel
tended his sister he made a great discovery. Two tiny puncture wounds on
 her neck. It did not take Samuel long to realize that vampires were to
blame for this illness.

That night Samuel stood awake and waited for the creature who was
 stealing the lifeblood from his mother and sister. When the creature
arrived Samuel did not waste time and thrust a wooden steak into the
creature heart. It was too late when Samuel realized that the creature
standing before him was his brother Sorin risen from the grave.

With great horror Samuel again watched the life leave his
brother. Samuel dropped to the ground cradling his brother in his arms
weeping bitter tears. After a time, Samuel saw something out of the
corner of his eye. As he looked up wiping away the tears he saw that
there was a dozen more creatures of the night surrounding the house.
Samuel ran to his room and from under his bed drew his long-sword.
Determined to slay every last one of them, Samuel quietly ran to his
parent’s room and awoke his father. After arming himself Timon and
Samuel ran forth from the house and greeted the vampires with cold
steel.

The two men were able to defend their home for a long while and
even destroyed many of the vampire hoard. Sadly, however Timon was
impaled by one of the creatures and died. After seeing his father die Samuel called out to his mother and sisters to flee. The Women ran from the house but Teresa was taken by a vampire and killed. The two young ladies were able to escape.

## Becoming Cain:

Samuel seeing that his sisters were able to get away continued fighting the undead hoard.
