Vampire (Subpath)

**Vampire** is a subpath found in *MornaTales*.

## Overview

At present, Vampire is the only path in Morna with targeted vita attacks and the ability to reduce another players mana in pk. By alternating between vita and mana attacks, Vampires have an edge in pk and group hunting with devastating damage.

## Lore & History

### The Brood

Vampire is the essence of freedom and indulgence. We have given up those things that made us human, the pain and suffering, the expectations and false hope, and have instead embraced an existence of eternal bliss - with just a touch of savagery.

There is no right or wrong way to enjoy immortality. However, the members of this brood have agreed to a fairly simple philosophy. Maintain neutrality, unless crossed or otherwise insulted. Should this occur, it is our right - our obligation - to show no mercy and destroy our foes.

## Additional Information

### Notable Vampires

*Beffy* was first among us and continues to share her gift with young wizards who wish to become Vampires. You may seek her out in the Chateau to learn more.

*Sommeliere* can be found enjoying a glass of blood wine with Beffy. She is our resident blood expert and can’t resist taking a taste when anyone comes to visit.

*Armand* caters to the needs of our Theatre guests and knows the ins and outs of setting the stage.

*Santiago* assists backstage, keeping an eye on our props and helping actors quickly change costumes.

*Mister Chuckles* is our smallest but fiercest resident, and thus our path trainer. He may be small and cute, but do not test his patience if you meet him.

### Theatre des Vampires

The Theatre des Vampires is a fully functional Theatre Company, found within the Chateau des Morts. With six interchangeable stages, a plethora of props and special effect items, you will undoubtedly be awed by the flashy effects if not the performers!

### Vampire Items

The following items are available to the community, with varying results.

### Sire Bonding

Lineage is of the utmost importance within the Brood. We recognize this through Sire Bonds and the bonding between a Mistress and her Pomme de Sang. It is a bond of loyalty, respect and service. If a Master Vampire chooses to claim a younger Vampire as their Thrall or a living companion as their Pomme de Sang, they gain the ability to summon their pet at will. Through this connection, the Thrall and Pomme also gain the ability to approach their Master.

Pomme de Sang are recognized as honorary members of the Brood and have access to many of its path only ((RP)) features.

You may recognize these individuals by the legend marks;

* “Faithful Pomme de Sang of Vampire (Master)”
* “Sire Bonded to (Master)”
* “Has Sired X Thralls”
* “Has Claimed X Pomme de Sang”

**Vv-- Friends and Enemies of the Brood --vV**

Those who have made substantial contributions to the Brood may earn the recognition of friendship and the legend mark *“Decidedly delicious, taste tested by (Master)”* and are prized as the most sought-after snacks.

On the other hand, one who makes themselves known to be a complete waste of a human being earn the legend mark *“Tastes like shit, absolutely unswallowable, spit out by (Master)”* which gives warning to other Vampires not to let their fangs near the foul creature.
