SUB-FACTION: THE SISTERHOOD<br />

All Lahmian vampires are descended from Neferata, who is said to despise men, and consequently very few Lahmians are male. <strong>The</strong><br />

presence of the Lahmians is seldom noticed, but their hand is certainly felt. <strong>The</strong>y can achieve their aims with politics and planning, and<br />

are hedonistic, self-indulgent creatures who love splendour, wealthy and luxury, and will stop at nothing to get what they desire - but they<br />

cannot taste food or enjoy the warmth of the sun. <strong>The</strong>ir cold hearts can feel no deep emotion, for their lovers rarely last a night, and<br />

though their youth and beauty is eternal, they are abhorred by people once discovered. <strong>The</strong>ir joys are hollow, and material, and for most,<br />

that is all for which they wish.<br />

<strong>The</strong> haven of Queen Neferata is situated on the highest peaks of the Worlds Edge Mountains, and is called the Silver Pinnacle. At the<br />

heart of the maze of the Silver Pinnacle are situated the quarters of Neferata. Her opulent chambers are an echo of the splendour of her<br />

royal palace in Lahmia. Forgotten treasure of old golden masks and rare gemstones glitter in the dark, illuminated only by the dim light<br />

of the silver coated skulls that serve as her lamps. Here Neferata lies on a divan, drinking the blood of handsome youths from golden<br />

cups and listening as her undead courtiers play harps, pipes and lutes to amuse her. Vampires of the Lahmian Sisterhood are her eyes<br />

and ears in the outside world and using the information from their reports she plots and weaves a web of intrigue.<br />

Neferata believes that the Gauntlet of Ind might be played to her advantage. She immediately dispatched members of her Sisterhood to<br />

the ruins of Lahmia where even after all these centuries; a small part of her once vast fleet was hidden in dry berths. Under cover of<br />

darkness these ships put to sea once more and loaded with the bulk of the Queen’s forces. What impact her arrival at in the Kingdom of<br />

Ind will have remains to be seen. For the Queen dreams of enslaving all the Vampires in the known world and returning to ancient<br />

Lahmia at the head of an undead army, reclaiming her throne and rebuilding the great Temple of Blood.<br />
