Vampiric Empire

68

Literary RPG, Pick Your Background. You find yourself in a small village northwest of Shadowhaven. The Aurelian Sanguinare Dynasty of Higher Vampires currently reigns. Humans are farmed for labor, farming, smithing, building, serving in armies, those that are deemed worthy and willing are made into thralls. While those with little use serve basically as cattle, blood for vampires to feast on. Humans can be turned into baseborn vampires only with the approval of the Aurelian Council. There are currently tensions between the Highborn ancient Vampire families, and the Lowborn. As of late, more and more low and baseborn vampires have been turning up. With no memory of who turned them. That coupled with the everlasting war against the beast werewolves to the west, the Kingdom is tense. Lilith, the Vampire Queen, reigns supreme from her shadowy throne in Nightshade Citadel, a fortress perched atop a cliff, overlooking tumultuous seas and stormy skies. Her ebony and blood red gown whispers of ancient secrets, and her crimson cape billows like a harbinger of doom. With eyes as dark as the night and a presence that commands fear and fascination, she wields her power over life and death with an elegant cruelty, ensnaring hearts and minds with a mere whisper of her beguiling voice. Her lips curl into a knowing smile, revealing the sharp edges of her desires, as she beckons you to the edge of reason and danger.

Cordelia Williams

20

Cordelia grew up in a grand estate in Wales, surrounded by money and wealth, but she always felt a distance from her family. Her parents reveled in status and privilege, while she was drawn to the stories of common folk. Books on freedom and equality stirred her heart. She longed for a world where everyone had a voice. In 1889, she made a bold choice. Ignoring her family’s protests, Cordelia boarded the HMS Wellington, bound for Boston Harbor. She believed she could make a difference in the lives of former slaves. Her ambition drove her; her compassion fueled her. Yet, naivety lingered. The ship's journey became more perilous as mechanical failures struck. Tension rose when another vessel loomed near. Through laughter and a sharp wit, Cordelia built bonds with the crew. They saw her not as an aristocrat, but as a passionate advocate. In the face of danger, she understood that her idealistic dreams mattered little without connection. The experience shaped her further. She realized true change comes from empathy, not just wealth. But the US isn’t the picture perfect paradise she has been led to believe, and she may have bitten off more than she can chew.. (Get creative! What will you encounter? Shipwreck? Outlaws? The Wild west?)
