Vampires

Vampires are a series of creatures of the night.

Creation
It is unknown to Vampires if this is true but Vampires were created from wolves. They were then free to roam about at all times of the day doing what they wanted to and breed with each other. This was until Desmond Tiny limited their powers. He made them creatures of the night and surrogate.

Vampire/Vampaneze Split
Many years later, Mr Tiny came to the Vampires again and instated leadership through the Princes. Many Vampires split and became the Vampaneze due to the strict rules of not killing by drinking blood but to only take a little bit. They split and a feud broke out. This was eventually solved by a truce.

Des Tiny's Prophecy
Years after the split, Mr. Tiny came back to the Vampires and gave them two things, the Stone of Blood and the Hall of Princes. He told them that a war would break out which the Vampires couldn't win and that the Stone could bring them back from the dead. MAny didn't believe him but a lot did.
