"This is the legacy of our people, Alison...and it's written in the blood of both vampire and mortal alike."
— Lucavi Blackheart
Since before the first era of recorded history, vampires and lycans ruled the lands of Europe, Asian, the Middle East, and Africa.
Centuries ago these creatures of the night were written out of the history books...
But they still exist alongside us...
Vampires
Vampires are known to have originated somewhere in ancient Asia. They amassed wealth and power which they used to lead lavish lifestyles of influence and even worship. They mustered loyal subjects as well as captive slaves to build networks capable of extending their reach of influence and power. They valued similar aspects of life to that of mortals such as possessions, social and political power, wealth, and dignity.
Lycanthropes
The exact origin of Lycanthropes is ferociously debated by experts. Lycans believe they are the descendants of Romulus and Remus, who were exiled for their lycanthropy. According to lycan mythology, Romulus and Remus migrated north into Slavic lands such as ancient Russia, but modern experts believe lycans originated in these northern lands. They lived in the wilderness, keeping almost no possessions or wealth. They valued freedom, family, and physical power.
The Balkans
As cultures and kingdoms began to spring up and flourish in the Balkans, vampires were drawn to the prospect of sharing in the wealth and power. Vampiric activity attracted lycan opposition, and the conflict was inevitable. They ruled the night, waging bloody wars against one another, reducing the Balkans to a proverbial orgy of bloodshed. These rancorous conflicts left mortal men caught in the center of the chaos. This vitriolic animosity would see the world of men perish under the heels of vampire and lycanthrope kind, unless something was done.
The Hunters
(It's extremely hard for even a group of hunters to kill a lycan.)
The Crusades
The Crusades
Choosing to take their own fate in hand, Europe waged war upon their enemies. Masked by the Crusades, they rose up, crushing the opposition, seizing wealth, property, and culling both the vampiric and lycanthrope populations. This victory was a slow process costing countless hunter lives.
(This birthed the myth that a simple cross could make a vampire wince or flee in terror.)
Facing absolute defeat, and potential extinction, a treaty was formed to protect the interest of vampires by policing them, and the Vampiric Order ('the Order') was born. Each vampire must belong to a Covenant. Each Covenant is ruled by a pure blood Master who answers directly to the Vampiric Order. The rules were rather simple. No vampire may feed on innocent mortals, nor shall they sire any fledglings without sanctions from The Order. No member of any Covenant may kill any member of any other Covenant. These simple rules protect all vampire kind, ensure peace, and when they are broken entire Covenants are 'liquidated' seemingly overnight.
(The Vampiric Order is based out of London, England. It's sitting members are strictly pure blood vampires, and they are highly secretive.)
The Order of The Dragon
The formation of the Order left a power vacuum for lycans to step in and wreak havoc on the mortal population once again. In time humans requested that vampires form a military unit to quell the lycanthrope threat. The Order of The Dragon was founded in 1408 to hunt and destroy lycans from Europe to Asia. The order drove the lycan population to the brink of extinction and solidified the vampire's place at the table alongside humans. Instead of a problem, they had become a useful ally.
Vlad III Dracul
After the Order was formed, the Balkans remained a haven for vampiric families. The Dracul Covenant, led by Vlad II Dracul, and the Corvinus Covenant, led by Matthias Corvinus, were among the most respected, powerful families in the Balkans. In 1675, a dispute between the sons of the families erupted into bloodshed when Vlad III killed John Corvinus, the only son of Matthias. This marked the first major transgression of the Vampiric Order, and would come to be known as the greatest of them all.
Matthias called for the head of Vlad III but Vlad II indicated that it would come down to killing the entire Dracul Covenant before he would hand over his son. Being the two most powerful and respected families in the Balkans, the Order was faced with a dilemma. In order to satisfy Matthias, the Draculs were stripped of all land, ranks, and possessions, and relocated to the American colonies. The Corvinus Covenant would take possession of their land and territory. For a vampire of the Balkans, this was the greatest dishonor one could endure. But the consequences of this transgression were just beginning. Matthias was still unhappy, and demanded blood. With the help of supporting Covenants, he convinced the Council that a clear message needed to be sent. The Order called for the execution of Vlad III, but Vlad II offered his life in place of his son's, and the Council agreed simply to bring an end to the matter. Vlad II was summoned to London where he was ceremoniously executed, leaving the title of Master to Vlad III.
Most of this needs to be edited, but I mean look at it. For now I want somewhere to start adding characters.
