Blade Maidens: Dead in the Water – 28

“Vampires walk among us. Everyone knows this. You may even know one or two yourself.

But do you know where they came from? Why such undead creatures are allowed to live outside of Sepestra’s domain? Few do. But I, dear reader, am here to share these secrets with you.

While some claim they are infernal cast-offs of The Abyss, or hail from Night’s Mother herself, the truth is far more horrifying: they were never meant to be. A creation of greed and a thirst for power, the children of Anteverra, their god, a forsaken disciple of Sepestra herself. Born out of Anteverra’s failed attempt at seizing our grave lady’s domain for her own, her children are doomed to wander Telos with an endless hunger. To cower and weaken beneath Sulna’s purifying gaze. To watch all of their loved ones wither and die while they hide in the shadows. There is no cure. There is no peace. They are forever damned, as a reminder of what happens to those who challenge the divine.”

A passage from The TRUE History of The Damned, published by former Sepestran clerk Harald Kintz under the pseudonym Kaedin Clearmind
