Ancient Blood: The Order of Vampire Hunters – Wallachian Clan Expansion

The Wallachian use to be one of the most powerful Vampire Clans, its founding Elder aspiring to the role of Vampire Lord, the ruling figure for all Clans with the authority to settle disputes and collect a tithe from all Clans. However, the ambitions of the rich and powerful clan were crushed under the booth of a cruel and merciless Elder. A few centuries ago, on the day in which the blood covenant would crown Wallachian as Vampire Lord, a mysterious uninvited figure joined the gathering and challenged him. The fight was short and the mysterious Vampire tore in half Wallachian and elected himself Vampire Lord. That night, no clan raised objections. Even Wallachian's first offspring was forced to bend the knee and its will to the new Lord. However, to honor his progenitor, he renamed himself Wallachian and the Vampire Lord accepted to let the clan preserve its name, but not its power. The Wallachians were stripped of all lands and dens, their vampire minions enslaved in the ranks of the Vampire Lord. The remnants of the once-proud clan were relegated to a small mountainous region, in a ruined underground palace. However, there is still power in the blood of this once powerful Clan. —description from the publisher
