Vampires are undead predators who prowl the night in search of blood. Their condition is both a gift and a curse, granting them the powers of the night while making them suffer at the touch of sunlight. They must be cautious to conceal their nature from others, finding ways to sate their bloodlust while avoiding the attention of those who would hunt them.
The Iocrin are vampires who manifest powers of the mind. Most are well-mannered, graceful, and charming, preferring to feed secretly upon aristocrats and other people of social import. They can read the surface thoughts of others and, with practice, manipulate them. Iocrin are known to be highly sensitive to social impropriety, however, and cannot willingly enter a home uninvited.
