A pureblood vampire is defined as one who was either created during or directly descended from those existing before the ancient war against the elven race.

It is believed, that Pureblood Vampires originated through the murder the first elf, thereby stealing his immortality.Following this murder, the two races had a prolonged and brutal war. Ultimately, the elven race came out victorious, cursing the pureblooded vampire lineage, now widely recognized as Vampires. But even those of pure lineage were not immune to the wrathful curse of the Elves, forever bound to the night, an unending thirst for blood serves as a constant reminder of their murderous origin.

Pureblood Vampires closely resemble elves, to the point where, if not observed directly, they could easily be mistaken for one. However, a distinctive feature of a pureblood vampire are red eyes and fangs. Pureblood vampires, the nocturnal counterparts of the Elves, differ from cursed Vampires as they can endure sunlight.

Not much is known about pureblooded vampires, nearly on the brink of extinction after the war. The remaining purebloods have established houses, mostly hidden from the outside world.

Scattered across the known world, they exhibit diverse cultures, languages, appearances, and moral values.

Nonetheless, a pureblood vampire has the ability to create vampire spawns. This is achieved by nearly draining a mortal of their blood, and then allowing the mortal to drink from the vampire's own blood. This process transforms the mortal into a lesser vampire, subject to the typical curse. This transformation is often referred to as 'The Embrace.'

There are also legends suggesting that a pureblood vampire can confer the full status of pure vampirism to another individual, though the exact method remains a mystery. A pureblood can perform this act only once, and it establishes a ubreakable bond between the vampire and the mortal, a bond that transcends the mortal understanding.

Pureblooded vampires have the ability to reproduce only with other pureblooded vampires. Their aging is significantly slowed, making them appear childlike for several decades. Their aging process halts after roughly two and a half centuries, at which point they maintain the appearance of a young adult for the rest of their life.

## Abilities

Pureblooded vampires possess superior physical strength compared to most species, along with heightened agility and night vision. Their magical prowess varies; while most are highly sensitive to magic, some have even become masters in the arcane arts.

Their fangs are incredibly strong and sharp, capable of piercing metals without any damage to their teeth.

Purebloods have the ability to teleport short distances, transitioning from a non-physical to a physical form.

They possess remarkable durability; ordinary steel weapons struggle to inflict damage on their bodies. However, silver due to it's properties, is a vulnerability for them, causing injuries much like steel does to humans, and its brightness is overwhelmingly intense to the pureblood vampire's eyes.

Their senses are acutely enhanced: they possess exceptional vision, capable of seeing clearly over great distances, and their hearing is extraordinary, allowing them to detect a heartbeat from several meters away. Their sense of smell is also notably sharp.

They also possess fingernails similar claws, which they can extend up to an inch, sharp enough to slice through metal and flesh.

## Combat

Pureblood Vampires may not initially excel in traditional swordsmanship, but with extensive practice, their exceptional senses, coupled with their extraordinary physical strength and speed, can make them outstanding combatants.

However, purebloods typically do not engage in combat with conventional weapons or swords. Instead, they utilize their natural abilities: their immense strength to break bones, their sharp fangs to tear at throats, their claw-like nails to slice through flesh and metal, and their swift movements to overpower unsuspecting enemies.

They also employ spells to defeat their enemies.
