Vampires of the Olden Lands
 |
This 26-page supplement includes seven vampire species¸ a race of villainous vampire-men¸ and the half-vampire dhamphir race¸ all designed for use with Castles & Crusades and Labyrinth Lord! This volume includes:
Bhabaphirs - Soul-sucking child-slaying vampiric wise-women of the mountain villages that truck with night hags and liches;
Ekimmu - The Vampire Lords¸ founders of all the vampiric lines¸ masters of the High Vales of the Mountains of Blood¸ immortal spirits born of Chaos and Evil;
Lhamiras - Mothers of Monsters¸ the Vampire-Witches of the South who hunt men for sport and for game¸ dams of dhamphirs and lamias;
Lhamphirs - The Plague Bearers¸ the rotting husks of men and women who died of plague and now haunt the families and friends who abandoned them;
Mhoroiphirs - The Living Vampires¸ men and women who seek to continue to live their lives though they are undead¸ the classic blood-suckers of myth and legend;
Strighoiphirs - The Dead Vampires¸ mhoroiphirs who have moved on and fully embraced their undead existence and retreated from the world of living men to seek solitude;
Szalbaphirs - The Vampire Gamins¸ sad creatures born of horror¸ children transformed into blood-sucking monsters who seek an end to their undead existence even as they gather around them more of their kind that they create seeking solace and safety with siblings;
Vhukodlakhs - Vampire-Men¸ created as servants by the ekimmu in ages long passed¸ they now haunt the mountains and highlands of the Olden Lands¸ serving vampires and other dread lords as they prey upon man and beast alike;
Dhamphirs - Born of the union of mortal and vampire¸ these scions of Chaos and Evil are often anything but¸ as many spend their lives hunting vampires and the undead¸ either to assuage their own souls or for the cold¸ hard coin of the villagers. But every day they fight against the blood lust of their vampiric heritage¸ and no few have fallen into darkness or to the fangs of their own sires...
