Vadrenfelle

Vadrenfelle (VAH-drehn-fel) is the home of vampires, the North most city in all of Etherworld. It sits behind high walls, composed of dark stone buildings with wooden roofs, the governing building carved into the mountain amongst the black slate and ice. Its population is entirely Vampiric, in the shade of the cliffs they can move freely at all hours, save a couple where the edges of sunlight touch their borders. They survive off of the lucrative mining industry, their rock rich in metals, it's said that no one outside their population are allowed into the mines, which are said to be successful because of their superior vampiric strength, ability to survive on little food, drink and sleep, though others speculate that it is completely run by slaves who are also used as a food source for their captors.

The Political Structure of Vadrenfelle
Vadrenfelle is under the leadership of a single family of Vampires, the head of whom is said to have been one of the original Sires, though they loathe to call it a Kingship.

With the majority of decision making coming from the Sire, anything that doesn't come strictly from his order falls to one of the mans seven sons, born to a human woman and turned in their early thirties.

They function under a political system of cloak and dagger, secrecy being their largest trade. Their history with the Elves is rocky at best, sooner stabbing them in the back than working with them.

Drujveld
Drujveld was previously the homestead of the Vampires, now overtaken by an undying fire fuelled by their mines. It's now simply a crumbling ruin of a once beautiful city. Rumour is that a sect of Vampires pilgrimages to it every decade, using Drujveld as a monument to their hatred, rekindling it within them.
