Spawningground - Vampires
DISCLAIMER: This article is filled with ideas for lore, and is more so then any other part of this world site still being developed.
REFERANCING: J for Juvanile, N for Neophyte, V for Vyre
--------
Decapitation:
J = will kill
N = will kill, but requires a Athletics check
V = Will Incapacitate, requireing a Athletics check.
Torpor:
this would refer to a vampire being incapacitated, in this state, ending them can be done as follows:
J = does not have this state, as they die before it.
N = Can be destoryed by sunlight
V = can be destoryed through intense fire.
A few things that might Induce Torpor:
Stakes:
J = Will harm them as any other weapon.
N = Will put them in torpor if in the heart.
V = Will put in torpor if in the heart and made from Silver.
NOTE TO SELF: putting creatures in torpor might require more then simply staking them, maybe also requireing to put them down to a certain amount of health?
"Amovoros", from the greek "aimovóros" meaning "bloody" or "sadistic" "trógon" greek for "eater"
"Fono'darmos" from greeks "darmós" for "lick" or "hiding" and "fónos" meaning "blood", "bloodshed", "murder" and its kin.
A Juvanile, for whom they are responsible of their actions, but as the Juvanile cannot deny orders, this is seldom a issue.
or a Neophyte, this Neophyte is the "childe" of the Vyre, and the Vyre is their "Sire" and is responsible for their actions. if the Neophyte does something wrong, it goes on the record of the Vyre, though they can rectify it by punishing the neophyte, or otherwise make up for the act.
---
if a Neophyte becomes a Vyre, they are now concidered to be responsible for their own actions.

Vyre society has three tiers of power, these are not official, and are more for writing ease. Barron, Count and Duke. above these is then Vampyr Lord
---
"Nosferatu)" refers to the Juvaniles that reproduced.
the ones who have gotten larger are "Nosferatu Patriarchs/Matriarchs" if a tribe of Nosferatu are large enough to hold multiple Patriarchs and Matriarchs, there is a additional title that may manifest, that being a "Nosferatu Elder" ---
"Consanguinity" shortened to "Consan's" are what Neophytes call eachother. and within this there are the Clans, each from a Herritage in turn. prehaps call these the casts of the Clan they are from. example: The Neophyte "Suvlo-tupou" is a fourth generation vampire, with herritage leading to the Vyre count Surrexerunt, of Clan Gold.
Suvlo is thus of Clan gold, but might be of cast Dearg-due.
a cast here would be coming from a powerful Neophyte who made their own bloodline by specializing in something.
so, for example, Cast Dearg-due, might come from the Consan Dearg-Due, who might even be the sire of Suvlo.

are not dead, they have been drained of much blood, but they have been given a replacement in the form of vampire blood.
they can reprouce, and this is how the blood goblins come to be.
Neophytes:
Biologicaly speaking, they are dead. they dont have to breath, or eat (outside of drinking blood), and technicaly speaking they dont have to sleep, though they still need to recover themselves.
Vyres:
Are alive once more, when a neophyte is made a Vyre, they are brought back to "life" so to speak, though this is in a limited regard. blood flows through a Vyre... or should they also be dead? and unable to make children? (outside of sireing a neophyte)
---
Vyres are once more alive, brought to life through unison with the beast
Childe:
A childe denotes that a Vyre has been made undead by another. say that Elgarich of Clan null makes Julieth, a human, to a Neophyte. she is now his Childe, and while being made a Vyre make them equal in all matters save one of them becoming a Vampyr Lord, Childe may (to be figured on) still hold aligance and owe favours to their Sire.

Clan Crimson and Null:
these are titles reserved to the scolar clans.
Cult:
offten, a sect of clans Crimson or Null are called cults, these are orders of Vyre who are working together.
Ostiary:
This is a underling for a scolar, they may be young Vyre, or even a neophyte, if they are lucky. they are expected to listen to the instructions of a Lector to the dot when in the context of study of the arcane or eldrich.
Lector:
Is a teacher, they are over a Ostiary. the relationship they hold to their Ostiarys is expected to varry depending on if they are Vyre or Neophyte. for while the scolar Clans see the worth in Neophytes, they are still below Vyre. where a Lector is expected to return the favours of a Vyre Ostiary by giving in return knowlage, its accepted to neglect this trade.
Preceptor:
this is the highest of the scolarly ranks, and come into being when a group is large enough to require one.
---
Creed:
a collective sect of Clan Steel is offten called a creed, their organization is still to be developed.
There is also the concept of Knights and Squires. if a Vyre seeks to learn from one stronger then them, they may proclaim this "I am to learn from the stronger" is a offer of challange, and if the one who challnage is able to hold long enough, they may be taken as a Squire.
Society/Church:
A Sect of Clan Gold is offten called a society or a Church, their organization is most likely based on nobility
