>>5849374Nation name: Crimson River Lords, Crimson Lords, River Lords
Race/races: Vampire Aristocracy ruling over oppressed human peasants. The River Lords are an aquatic style of vampire with the typical supernatural strength, immortality and charm of vampires, but are strictly tied to the river of their homeland.
Religion(s): The Crimson Lords view themselves as living gods, and demand worship as such.
Culture(s): Humans are cattle, slaves, and test subjects for the twisted desires and needs of their vampire rulers. This particular breed of vampire is tied to the river network they are settled around and cannot travel far from it without a supply of water from the river.
History: The patriarch of the clan was an unnamed warlord responsible for a horrific massacre that stained the rivers reds. A dark god was pleased by this and blessed him with the dark power of vampirism. He quickly acquired control over the local area and begin spreading his curse to a brood of vampires who promptly betrayed him. The Crimson Council now rules the area with an iron fist.
