Vampirism
An ancient curse of unclear origin, despite the fact that the records of House Velmont list the existence of a First Vampire, it remains to be seen whether this holds true.
Transmission & Vectors
The Curse of Vampirism can be contracted via the following two methods:
- Being Bitten by another vampire, also called Risen Vampires
- Heritage, being born the child of vampire, often revered to as Blood Vampires
Causes
Those bitten are affected by a severe Amenia, within a few weeks of infection. Until the day they die as a result. Then within a few days, they rise from their grave as a fully-fledged vampire.
Symptoms
The skin of all vampires is pale and they have sharp hook teeth and are immune to other sicknesses, and immortal.
Risen vampires their skin is often truly unnatural as if made of a rigid material like porcelain.
Blood Vampires on the other hand, whereas still pale and all they lack the unnatural rigidness of there Risen kin. In fact, it is quite a mystery, for unlike Risen who are truly stuck with the age they died at, Blood ones appear to age to an extent. Because if they didn't to would be stuck being a baby for all there life. It does appear the ageing is either slower or end and a certain point.

Treatment
If a skilled Cleric or curse lifter spots the curse in the first two weeks of the Amenia, it can be lifted. However once more then that time has passed, there is no reversing the process.
Affected Groups
There are no records whether other species (than the ones listed) can be affected, but there is no evidence that they can't either.
Prevention
Not getting biten by vampires.
