| Love it! I take it that Eldoth is a sort of Ruritania then? I do have one thought. It is highly likely that such a specialized group of sorcerers would have their own cult, or a least their own ideology. It seems even likelier that the vampires would be worshiped by secretive and very small human cults, and that all or most of the members would be dominated by the vampire as a part of their initiation. This would allow the vampire to wield not only criminal power but possibly cultural and even political power within Eldoth through the minds of its servants. | |

| What happens to those that are killed by vampires? Is blood the only thing that sustains them? Do they have any other powers? | |

I would be in favor of the latter, simply because evidence shows that when a Vampire converts to Christ he loses all his powers. Nephilim such as werewolves or giants do not exhibit the same trait. They are as physically strong as ever, while studies have shown that Vampires who turn to Christ are actually physically weaker than normal men. It seems the vampric lifestyle takes a toll on the human physique. I like your take on vampires.   | |

| That's awesome! I'm glad those don't live near me...I really like how those converted to Christ are immune to the vampire powers.   Do they tend to mix with people or do they live off in their own colonies or something? Is there any way to tell a vampire from a normal human, or just the fact that they are incredibly "pretty" for lack of a better word? | |

| Wow, that's awesome(ly scary sounding) how the eyes change!...as well as how the rest of them change, it sounds like they're body pretty much dies, which means then that when they are converted to Christ it illustrates the "resurrection" part of salvation! I like it. | |

Oh, I know they aren't technically, I was just noting the similarity between white hair, pale flesh, and death. Just like when we are "dead" in our sins it doesn't mean we are actually dead.   | |

| So, they stop getting paler at a certain point? Why? Why don't they eventually lose all color and become like a glass, transparent? And are their bodies biologically human? And how do infant vampires practice blood magick? | |

|  I can't believe I forgot to post in here like I said I would!  I like how you have it so that the vampires that convert to Christ lose their powers...it just seems right that they would give up the magick, since it's portrayed as evil.   | |

| I like Willow's suggestion, Brendan. Was there a reason you created them the way you did? | |
