Overview
The term used for vampires in this game.
Brencis and his closest allies drove out the human lords and now divide Vale Sangora among themselves.
Each high-ranking vampire controls a territory of their own.
Their blood has the power to heal humans. In exchange for saving victims of the Black Death, they force people to attend the Blood Mass every two weeks and provide their blood.
According to Anca, their blood can cure physical illnesses, but it is apparently ineffective against mental illnesses like Esme’s.

How Vampires Are Created
The method of creating vampires in this game is an original process that differs from traditional folklore.
- A vampire removes one of their own fangs.
- The fang is driven directly into the other person’s heart.
- It takes root inside the body like a “seed,” gradually transforming the host over an extended period.
If the fang is implanted anywhere other than the heart, it creates a Murohni. If it is implanted in a canid, it creates a Psoglav.
Sources of Inspiration Cited by the Developers
- Bram Stoker’s Dracula
- Robert Eggers’s Nosferatu
- Interview with the Vampire
- True Blood
- World of Darkness
- Vampire: The Masquerade
The development team reportedly grew up within the Slavic cultural sphere, close to Romania, and surrounded by stories of Dracula.
