Vampires are a type of undead monster in the Anaxverse. As seen in the novel, Desideratum: Blood Bonds, vampires in the Anaxverse are collectively known as the Nightbred. Nuit’s corruption of human blood works similarly, to some degree, as that of other demons from the Outer Darkness. Being a goddess more aligned with the night and death, her minions walk a line between the living and the dead. However, while her curse affects the spirit and is spiritual in essence, blood is a physical corporeal substance native to the Physical World. Like all genetic material in the chaotic material plane, every time a vampire forms, there stands a chance for mutation within their strain. Oftentimes, on these rare occurrences, the afflicted vampire obtains a singularly useful ability- perhaps to shape-shift or to sexually reproduce. In some cases, due to circumstances in a given area or population, a particular vampire strain might spread like wildfire. It could also be that people of certain descent and DNA might be more prone to become particularly affected by certain strains of vampirism due to their gnome.
The Domnitor Strain or Domnitor Vampires are usually the most powerful and terrifying of the Nightbred. They are first generation Nightbred, bitten and turned by Vlad Țepeș himself. These are almost all, without exception, people of royal blood. He turned only the cruelest and most cunning of the aristocratic society of his time. Entitled and power-hungry, the domnitors are the vampire lords. They generally have no body hair, supernatural speed and strength, and an aura which elicits a fear reaction from the living that lay eyes upon them. Though they can be rather pale, their flesh more closely resembles that of a living human than many other strains. Their potent blood makes the most loyal ghouls from humans that imbibe it- often a single drink and the mortal cannot live without the vile substance. Over time, thanks to the efforts of vampire hunters and domnitor infighting, these royal vampires are very few in number. Two of the most powerful and notable are Lord Ivor and Countess Elizabeth Báthory.
