{{~~vampire~~}}Vampirism, also known as the Sanguine Curse, is a [[Void]]-spawned blood-curse that has plagued [[Aloria]] for hundreds of years. Often seen as a disease and hated by most of the people of Aloria, this affliction causes the infected to undergo both physical and mental transformations. The telltale signs of the Vampire Bloodlines are always the same. Together with their blood-sucking brethren, Vampires seek to destabilize the ruling authorities of Aloria to establish a global anarchy in which they can feed on the blood of the weak without fear of prosecution. Lone-wolf Vampires certainly exist, but those are often captured and cured, willingly or forcibly. Vampirism is a disease that can be cured by rather aggressive magical means, though many Vampires desperately attempt to avoid being cured. This is caused both by the curse itself changing the thoughts of the infected, but also by the fact that most authorities across Aloria are excessively cruel to Vampires. In the [[Regalian Empire]], being a Vampire is seen as being something unholy, something akin to a Demon. Such creatures are either killed on sight by Vampire hunters or dragged away screaming to imprisonment and isolation. Frequent Vampire executions are held by the faithful, causing most Vampires across the world to live in hiding, in dark alleys, caves, and sewer tunnels.

Indeed, Vampires are considered leeches on society as they feed themselves on the blood of the unwilling and powerless. Yet, Vampirism is also a source of power to some. Whole religions have been founded on the idea that Vampirism is the next step in Human advancement (despite the curse also striking non-Humans), and some contract the disease willingly for the powers it grants. Globally, Vampirism is on the rise since the last [[Great Vampire Wars]]. Global conflict with the [[Void Invasion]], [[Regalian Empire Conflicts|Empire Wars]], and more recently, the [[Bone Horror Crisis]], have all weakened local authorities to the point of breaking. Vampires often follow in the wake of a weary population, feeding and making use of what they can. Vampirism has grown so prolific that among the [[Regalian Emperor’s]] close court, some nobles have fallen to the sway of Vampirism, secretly plotting the destruction of the Empire from within.
