| Telekia One of many countries bordering Refetia and vying with it for control of the northern continent. Like Lunir, they rely not on numerical superiority, but on the strength of individual combat units – the vampires and the creatures they have tamed, which inhabit this land. Among them are such unusual creatures as cyclops, mammoths, werewolves, and other creations of Rishi, just like them. Physiology In terms of their external characteristics, vampires are not much different from other people of the north, but like many other creations of the goddess of chaos, they have long, pointed ears. Other distinguishing features include crimson eyes, marble skin, and sharp fangs compared to humans (see example below), which they use to anesthetize the bite site for subsequent feeding on the victim's blood. Depending on the intensity of the bloodletting, this can result in the victim losing consciousness completely.  Other features include a nocturnal lifestyle and intolerance to sunlight – although it does not incinerate them, it noticeably weakens them and causes a strong feeling of discomfort and irritation. They have no libido and no need for normal food. They do not get sick or age, but they need the blood of others to maintain normal life. Otherwise, their bodies first weaken, then lose some functions, and eventually fall into a deep sleep, losing all their presentability. Transformation Vampires have the ability to turn other people into vampires, but if there is not a sufficient level of trust between the vampire and the person, or if the person does not have a sufficient level of will or intelligence, they may become not a vampire but a ghoul – a creature in a near-human form, which retains only animal instincts. Society People and vampires in Telekia coexist quite well, if one can say so about livestock and their owners. The vampires protect the people of Telekia from dangers and hardships, take care of their health, and do not interfere in their daily lives except for the times when they collect the blood tax. Factional Struggle The current rules in Telekia state that unauthorized transformation into a vampire is punishable by the highest penalty and that the number of "shepherds" should not exceed a certain number in the human flock, but many militant vampires, usually from younger clans, believe that it is necessary to replenish their ranks with cannon fodder for a more effective fight against Refetia. In addition, the ruling faction of Telekia condemns drinking human blood directly from the source, considering it a degeneration of the high principles and aesthetics of Telekia, with which many young vampires also disagree. |
