Vampires, contrary to popular culture, are not undead here. Though they have a sort of immortality (akin to the elves) they can be killed, and usually without having to use special methods.
Vampires are nocturnal by nature, which makes them more prone to sleep during the day but it does them no harm.
They have a hunting instinct to smell out and search for blood, and will if their primal urges are not suppressed.
They do have bat-like wings and qualities and many have been known to take this form at one time or another. Vampires are often gifted with black magic, usually used for capture rather then kill, and they have the ability to turn another being into a vampire without fully altering their species.
There is a difference between someone turned vampire, who gains blood lust and heightened senses, but not the abilities, and a born vampire who has all these abilities
and are more likely to control their instincts.
Most Vampires answer to the Vinstaff Family, a powerful and influential group.
