Information
These vampires were sired out of the Shadowlands Elves, and are among the most noble of the vampires, though ages of 'unlife' tend to make them dark in nature. They are very handsome or beautiful vampires one and all, and can only sire elven kind. They are very particular about who they sire, and have strict laws about Siring. It cannot be done without consent, and without first making a thrall of the chosen progeny for a period of no less than five years. No vampire is to have more than two progeny at one time, and no progeny may sire until their own sire passes away. Any vampire breaking these laws of heritage risk being put to death by any kindred vampire which catches up with them. Perhaps the most unsual aspect of these vampires is that they get only one resurrection, their soul passing away to the afterlife of their pantheon thereafter. The only exception to this is if they become a vampire wraith, which has a corporeal shadow form. They share three traits in appearance. Black hair, very fair skin, and blue or silver eyes.
