Origin Of Angels And Vampyres

Written by the hand of the Beloved Priestess of Justice and Truth Libraum by the Ultimate Grace of the Divine Latitia, Long may She grant us her Wisdom.

Transcribed in the Year 867 After the Founding of this Kingdom, the Author would make efforts to relay the Words of the Divine Justice as they were Spoken with the gravitas they Deserve.

On the subject of Vampyres and their Creation, there has been much Speculation. There are Some who choose to believe they do Not even Exist- a mindset that is Astonishing to imagine that a True Historian would subscribe to. Regardless… they DO Exist, and the Story of the Origin is directly related to the Most Just, Herself.

As All Know, the Divine Latitia has been the Balance of the Universe since its Conception. Before the Arrival of Man and other assorted Sentient Creatures, this meant She had the Duty of Adjudicating the Battles between the other Deities who all Abided by her Rulings.

The focus of most of Her Divine Judgements were, of course, the Pair of Brothers Lustris and Tuneric. As Dark and Light cannot coexist, neither can the duo that Share the Skies.

In Relation to Vampyres, this Pair is deeply related- almost as much as the Ultimate Judge. Interestingly enough so are the Angels so Important to Our Wise Goddess.

Close to the Dawn of Mankind, the Deities known as Lustris and Tuneric found that they Greatly admired some Few of the Race. Each, in their Manly Desires, took a Lover from amongst that Race. For Lustris was the fair Malakh, a Happy and Bright Youth who brought Much Joy to the Halls of the Bright God. For Tuneric it was the Wild and Strong Mara, who was Fully Devoted to her Dark, and in Her eyes, Misunderstood Lover.

These pairs flourished for many years, the Divine Brothers bestowing many gifts upon their Chosen Lovers. The Most Divine Latitia watched the Affairs with growing Concern as she knew that the Peaceful Balance that had been achieved was not the True Balance of Her Divine Scales. She was, Of Course, entirely Correct in her summation of the lack of Stability in the situation, and the Day finally came that the Coming Chaos became apparent.

The Dark Hearted Tuneric, incensed with his Brightly Burning Brother at a slight that the Most Divine intimated to her Beloved Priestess to be most Severe, knowing he dare not strike directly at his Sibling without risking the Maternal Wrath of their shared Great Mother, instead chose to Strike down his Beloved Malakh. The Poor Mortal stood no chance to face the Might of a Divine, and was Cursed to become an undead being of Pure Evil and Darkness that would burn to Dust if ever he stood in the Divine Solar Light of Lustris or the Full Sun.

Even whilst distraught beyond Belief, Lustris chose to avoid Retaliation and the Endless War his Brother wished. While most believe that Lustris chose his path out of a sense of Duty and Restraint, the Most Divine led your Author to believe that some level of Being Lost and so Destroyed by the Death of the Truest Joy He had ever known that even as a God, He was moved to such a Human state as Crushing Grief. The Most Divine, knowing that Balance must be restored, Chose to Exert her Power.

She, nor Any Being but the Great Mother, may reverse a Death that has come to pass, but she was able to enact Her Divine Balance and reverse the Curse and send it instead to the Beloved of He who sent it.

Thus did Malakh become the first of the Angels in Service to the Most Divine Latitia. After Malakh, all who were Unjustly Killed were given the Great Choice to Join Eternal Glorious Service. They carry out the Law of Justice Herself everywhere.

Mara, though, was rewarded for her Love by the Curse sent by Tuneric. It Changed her Drastically. Her Beauty remained, but it was Twisted. A deep Thirst was upon her that could only be sated through Blood. What would have been a Horror for Lustris, though, made Tuneric more enchanted by his Love now cursed to the Night and Darkness that was Home to the Darkling Deity. Mara, by the Account of the Most Divine, still resides and Deeply Loves the One who Brought Her Curse. Now she is the Vampyre Queen and reportedly holds a Court as large as that of the Shining City of Heliene. There are Many Rumours regarding how new Vampyres are created, but the Most Divine has deemed it Knowledge Most Dangerous. By Her Holy Word, this author Abides.

Thus is the Creation of both Angels and Vampyres detailed by Your Most Humble Author, the Beloved Priestess Libraum writing the Words of the Most Divine Justice Herself. I Pray most Devoutly that All may Know the Truth, now, and not be Swayed by the Dry and Pompous words of Unbelievers.

Praise be to Her Truth and Balance Always
