Blood and Fangs: The Complete Works on the Vampire Species

**Blood and Fangs: The Complete Works on the Vampire Species** also known as just **Blood and Fangs** is considered to be the best singular book of information on the vampire classification known to the supernatural and monster hunting communities.

## Origins

The book was created as a limited edition piece by the part-time Vampirologist/Demonologist, part-time School of the Fox witcher Vedalt. As a means to weed out the truth about the history, backgrounds and data regarding the vampire classification.

### Origins of the Vampire Species and a short ancient history lesson an interview with Elder D'Hoomaumis on the beginnings of The Family

**V**: *Greetings, Elder **D'Hoomaumis**, thank you for speaking with me today. I was told you would be the one to ask amongst the four Elders for... various reason.*

**D**: *Greetings to you as well, young **Ammuna Kastrioti Zog-Verina**, just as our **Goddess**, the Lady Asherah shed her protective light over **The Family** so too do I hope to enlighten you and answer your questions. And yes my siblings have their eccentricities that would make gathering your research material...difficult at best.*

**V**: *That seems a good place to start. Forgive my ignorance in this matter but could you educate me about the **Goddess**?*

**D**: *Its alright, it has been a long time, much longer than you've even been alive since her ladyship has been known to the mortal races and to some of **The Family**, her glorious protective radiance has gone forgotten sadly.* (A look of distant sadness crosses the beautiful features of the Vampire Elder.)

**V**: *So I take it the Goddess is the deity of all Vampires?*

**D**: *Not quite, there are others but in truth The Family owes so much to the **Goddess**, may her benevolence and mercy shine on forever. A long time ago, there was a war. A war between monstrous eldritch beings from beyond the stars and dimensions aptly named the Cosmic Horrors and a race of benevolent higher dimensional beings named the Protas.*

**V**: *How long ago was this war?*

**D**: *Oh, eons ago! Older than most races or countries even existence, I was there though, my siblings and I survived the war thanks to the mercy and protection of our Lady. You see we vampires were once... different than we are today.*

**V**: *How so, Elder?*

**D**: Its not a period of time the current me is proud of, but myself and my siblings were once counted amongst the number of the **Cosmic Horrors**. We had been summoned by our 'father' for a great battle at one of his favorite feeding worlds.

**V**: *Feeding worlds? As in plural?*

**D**: *Hmm? Oh, yes! Travelling between worlds was much easier back then, in fact our father, Gna-Limer gathered his children from many worlds for this battle, this would prove to be a mistake on his part as there would only be four survivors from his forces.*

**V**: *You and your siblings, right?*

**D**: *Yes, the mortal races should count their lucky stars that the Undying were completely wiped out that day along with father.*

**V**: You don't seem upset over the loss of the... Undying was it? As well as your father.

**D**: *Love and affection wasn't something the **Cosmic Horrors** were known for father was no exception as for the **Undying**, horrible little creatures, a proper blight upon the multiverse thinking back.*

**V**: *I see... So about the **Goddess**?*

**D**: *Right, right we were talking about her **ladyship**! During this war between the **Protas** and the **Cosmic Horrors**, **our father** decided he was done having his feeding worlds cut off by the **Protas** and decided to fight back, unfortunately for him, he bit off more than he could chew quite ironic as his epithet was '**The Dull Bloodsucker**'. Instead of the armies of the **Protas** or one of their weaker children who he might have stood a better chance against, he had the worst luck, **Lady Asherah** and her mate appeared to subjugate **The Old Family**, to put it simply it was a massacre to the vampiric forces, between the offensive onslaught of **Asherah's mate** and **Lady Asherah's** barriers and wards, swathes of **The Old Family** died at rates that would make a human tactician soil themselves. Our father himself died at the hands of **Asherah's mate** who impaled him with a sword channeling the power of a star, a weakness to this day some of our bloodline carry. Myself and my siblings lived longer than our father and I prostrated myself before the Goddess seeing their power and her brilliance I knew we couldn't win, so I begged.*

**V**: You begged?

**D**: *Yes, I begged for my life and the lives of my more intelligent and redeemable siblings, promising loyalty and subservience to the **Protas** in the war effort. **Lady Asherah**, oh, my wonderful and wise **Lady** saw our lives as valuable, our allegiance as worthy, she petitioned **her mate** for us. He agreed and then something wondrous happened.* (D'Hoomaumis giggled.) She purified us! My siblings and I, she stripped the malevolent nature from us, cleansed us of our tainted blood and offered of us, her own Ichor turned into blood, as a covenant. I will never forget the taste, so sweet, so strong. Of course everyone else was destroyed... utterly, the Undying wiped out completely but then there was no way they could have been redeemed.

**V**: *So wait... there was only vampires left, that's not enough to rebuild a population then how?*

**D**: *A miracle granted to us by our **Lady**. She granted us... children, through a union most holy of our own blood and hers, children were created for us. 11 children were granted to me and from their bloodlines, the new race of Higher Vampires flourished.* (D'Hoomaumis momentarily frowned.) *My siblings were given many, many more children but then they never were as appreciative of the gift as I was.*

### Classifying a species into Higher or Lower Vampires

Most vampires are divided into two classifications: Higher and Lesser.

Higher Vampires consist of beings capable of intelligent though and are capable of restraint making them more human-like but also more dangerous.

Lesser Vampires consist of being that are more bestial in their intelligence and may not be capable of some of the more advanced abilities of the vampire races.

### Identifying Species into their Respective Tribes

Both in The World and on the Vampire's World, there are tribes but they differ between the worlds, as on The Vampire's World they are group together by the city they live in, which boasts majority of certain species. This crossed over in The World with these majorities joining others also from their previous cities. The tribe of Gharasham formed from former dwellers of the Capital city of Gharasham, the tribe of Ammurun from the Coastal city of Ammurun and the tribe of Tdet from the Subterranean city of Tdet.
