Courtly, patient and always thirsty. Vampires reward the ruler who strikes again and again, and the one who stays away all day.
The Vampires are a dark prestige faction. They never rule alone: once unlocked they fly as the Second Banner beside a dark base faction. The Vampires will answer your Second Banner (any dark faction, after its Alliance).
Unlocking: The Long Thirst
The quest begins with a find at the dig site. Its steps show only a riddle until they are done:
- ??? They gather where many temples chant in the dark.
- ??? They court only a ruler with a long list of deeds.
- ??? They wake to a reign loud with spells.
- The Blood Tithe: Tithe 100 coins each as Undead, Goblins and Demons
