Ballad of the Beasts Lore

Since time before memory, hidden in the shadows and hungry for blood, Vampires have lurked. Low in number compared to Humanity, these beasts are the ultimate predators, a species where killing comes not just as nature but as core principle.

…with the strength of many men, the speed of a falling star, command over the night and all of its creatures, surely beings of such nocturnal majesty could not be categorized. preposterous is the thought that these eldritch dead would actually have a society, or come in multiple groups, varying in power, speed and ability well that My friend is where we would be wrong.

Vampires operate in a kind of Pyramid scheme, the weakest are at the bottom and higher stand at the top, regarded in the highest reverence and fear.

Here we will find the knowledge of the travelling Vampire scholar; Kvasir, revealing the secrets of not just different Vampire Races, Clans and even smaller tidbits that spell out Vampire Life and culture, but the dark society as a whole and unravel all of their insidious mysteries. Make a pact with the Night My friends and Let the Hunt begin.

Author's note:

I enjoy world-building, surprise, surprise. But I love making detailed Lore Pages even more. As I try and develop my ability to untwine plot with lore, I have decided to start adding some Lore Bites alongside chapters, but also add a kind of Nexus for Lore right here in case anybody wanted a better understanding of Ballad of the Beasts deeper mechanics.
