Pyrnasc Vampyres Ethnicity in Helaeron | World Anvil

Pyrnasc Vampyres

The Pyrnasc or "Trueborn" are the Vampyre Men born of natural birth. These are the truest descendants of Maarik the Bloodweaver. While all Vampyres are able to create another Vampyre by offering or forcing their blood on another. The Pyrnasc create Vampyres by engaging in coitus. Either with another Vampyre of the opposite sex. Or a mortal of the opposite sex.
Though all Vampyres are bound by the thirst for blood. The Pyrnasc view themselves as the superior cast of Maariks children. And view the creation of Vampyres by the application of their Blood as disreputable, and sacrilegious. Believing that the Blood of Maarik is only truly pure in them that are naturally born. A concept that Maarik might very well laugh at. If he were present to do so.
The majority of the Pyrnasc believe that Maarik will return and purify the Nightborn of all unworthy kinds.

Shared customary codes and values

The Pyrnasc have a long abiding respect for the Laws laid down by the Codex Vampyr. The written history, law, and culture of the Vampyres. All Pyrnasc abide by its codes and demands of conduct.
A common religious belief is shared among the Pyrnasc as well. They believe that Maarik became a god when Azicharok turned him into the First of the Vampyre Men. And that it is he that will restore Vampyres to their true standing in the world. All they need do is bide their time in the centuries, and await his return. All the while holding orgiastic blood rites in his name.

It is common belief among the Pyrnasc that Vampyria should only be passed on by natural birth. And that those born of Offered Blood are Lesser Vampyres. Unfit to stand among the Pyrnasc.

Common Etiquette rules

The Pyrnasc do not make a show of their activities. They prefer to disappear into the social circles they root themselves into. Hence why Pyrnasc are typically found in circles of Nobility. Holding vast estates and financial holdings of their own. In an attempt to further blend into nobility.

Common Dress code

Pyrnasc keep to the finest fashions. And will refuse low quality or horrid clothing.

Art & Architecture

The Vampyres appropriated the architecture of the Night Elves. Whose ancient cities still lay hidden within the bases of mountains, ravines, and chasms. In keeping with the aesthetic set by the extinct Elf race, any Pyrnasc sanctum will appear entirely similar to a Night Elf city.
The Pyrnasc Vampyres have also taken to the arts of painting, sculpting,and other similar artisan crafts. Though their cultural art is grim, with a piercing depth of meaning that has unsettled mortal admirers of their works.

Common Taboos

It is common belief among the Pyrnasc that the turning of another into a Vampyre is sacrilegious. The Blood of Maarik the Bloodweaver must be kept on a pure course.

But the integrity of their families blood as well. Each factor must be of ideal pedigree for the match to even be considered by either lover.
It is not uncommon, however, for Pyrnasc Vampyres to court Human lovers. In the circumstance of this, the Humans political and social standing is called into question. As well as the quality of the stock they come from.

All in all, the Pyrnasc value the integrity of their lineages. And seek only to preserve, or strengthen them.
