Vampires are a race created from humans by the [[Moon Rune]]. The Moon Rune transformed [[Sierra Mikain]] into a vampire when she encountered it and she is considered the mother of all vampires. The vampire urge to feast on other people's blood to sustain themselves is negated by the Moon Rune but without the presence of the rune, vampires are forced to feed or perish. | Vampires are a race created from humans by the [[Moon Rune]].

According to Sierra, it is a superstition that just having one's blood sucked makes one a vampire. The vampire has to have intent for the victim to become a vampire in order for such a change to take place. | |||
Vampires also tended to have eternally youthful bodies, as well as powerful magical abilities, such as being able to manipulate the dead, as well as transformative abilities, being able to turn into bats. When [[Neclord]] stole the Moon Rune, the vampires of [[Blue Moon Village]] had to choose between consuming blood to survive or dying in agony. | |||
Every few decades, a vampire tends to crop up in civilisation, kidnapping people, destroying towns or siring more of their kind. As a result, vampires are generally feared and are usually hunted when recognized. The historical figure [[Wilder (historical)|Wilder]] was said to be the first successful vampire killer. | Every few decades, a vampire tends to crop up in civilisation, kidnapping people, destroying towns or siring more of their kind.
