The Great Shadow of Lothen

In 830 AC, Akreyn Thiaspis convinced the Queen to merge the Crown with a vampire movement for the better protection of the city and the restoration of peace. The movement was approved and was named "Sevayl" or “The Great Shadow”. A powerful family of vampires took over command of the country and worked together with the royal forces in order to eliminate the rebellion of the Red Lion. When Karthas Criden was arrested and executed, his death in combination with the reputation of the Great Shadow, caused a chain of reactions throughout the land, dividing it into supporters of the movement that were called “Acolytes” and enemies of the vampires that were called “Untouched”.
