-Vampires are embodiments of the endless hunger of Halik, god of darkness. The first Vampire was directly infused with this hunger by Halik and became known to later generations of Vampires as  the Eldest. When that Vampire bit another mortal and drank their blood, the infection spread and she became his thrall. When the Eldest died, Adlan, the second born, ruled over a kingdom of Vampires for hundreds of years. Her army was slaughtered, and she was imprisoned in a mountain tomb in the southeastern end of the Serrated mountain range. That tomb was eventually rediscovered, and Vampirism once again spread through Ulos.+Vampires are embodiments of the endless hunger of [[halik|Halik]], god of darkness.

-The most common spread of vampirism is a direct bite from a Vampire, the effects of which can be ghastly; +[[vampirism|More info]]

->//Vampirism outbreaks were an ugly sight on the battlefield, you remember. The King's Guard turned on one another and spread the infection while the Dragul cut their way through your ranks.

-Anyone, from any of the races of Ulos, can become infected and make the transformation. In rare instances, animals have also been known to become infected. +
- +
-Someone is not a true “Vampire” immediately upon becoming infected. Over the course of 1000 years, they will begin to fully transform and develop their powers.  +
- +
-When they infect one of their victims, a full Vampire can usually manipulate the infected in such a way that they become their thrall, obeying any and all of their commands. Vampires do not always seek to control their victims in this way, however, and infection can spread from those who are not yet full Vampires. When this happens, the infected are not powerful enough to take control of the minds of their victims. +

-There is no known cure for Vampirism, other than death.+

 The infected are sensitive to sunlight, and that sensitivity grows with time. For the newly infected, exposure may be little more than a minor annoyance.
