+Native to the North, **vampires** exert significant financial and legal power across the region. They make up one of the three houses of [[countries#Sønheim]]'s government, and their bank accounts nearly [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/vampire-masquerade-466/ |destroyed the economy]] until tax laws were changed to compensate for immortal compound interest.
+They also do things like develop [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/vampire-masquerade-766/|specialty unicorn breeds]] with spines and pointy tails. When you're immortal, you need a long-term project.
+Linguists and historians love the older ones...when they aren’t just making stuff up for fun, which is often.
+**Properties of vampirism:**
+  * New vampires ("tadpole vampires") can be turned at any time
+  * It enhances your existing strength and senses (but doesn't create new ones; a blind human would become a blind vampire)
+  * Some skills, like shapeshifting, only develop with age
+  * There are no proven cases where a vampire was killed and then [[reincarnation|reincarnated]] as a human
+  * There are also no vampires with [[heartswords]], although it's theorized that vampirism changes your soul enough to affect the look of your sword (most likely to make it more goth-y)

+Appearances: [[http://leifandthorn.com/character/lady-stanczia/|Lady Stanczia]]
+Vampire royalty, one of the oldest in existence. Longstanding member of the House of the Moon in Sønheim. Has good taste. Got stuck in a rut about 200 years ago, then Imri cheered her up.
+Her name comes from a linguistic tradition that no longer exists, and her native language isn't spoken except by a handful of her peers. At the time, family names weren't standard; when they became a legal necessity, she picked Fågelson.

+  * Likes: Politics, goth decor, O positive

+He's trans, with a self-chosen name from Stanczia's era. At this point most people assume he's a contemporary of hers, and he lets them believe it because it's more fun that way.
+  * Age (first appearance): ~230
+  * Likes: Melodramatic YA, dapper fashion, testosterone
