Line 1: Line 1:
Gaeran vampires are the creation of [[Lucio]], granted the gift of an undead body which will never age or die, so long as the vampire feeds on the blood of the living. Vampires favour the finer things in 'life', surrounding themselves with objects (and people) of beauty.

Unfortunately, immortality comes at a price. Vampires can no longer bear the rays of the sun, and will be incinerated by true sunlight. The thirst for blood forever gnaws at them, and can drive them to do terrible things if they go too long without.Some groups have rather severe allergies to things such as garlic, and the ordinarily beneficial effects of holy magics will unravel their very beings.

As well, the immortality is, ultimately, a lie. The other gods were not prepared to allow [[Lucio]] to create an immortal race of followers, and so set a limit of 3,000 years (the maximum age of a High [[Elf]]) upon their lifespans. Eventually, the blood of the living simply ceases to sustain them, and they gradually decay. This is not a fact which is widely advertised, even amongst the vampires themselves. The young are allowed to believe that they will truly live forever, and, being young and secure in their own invincibility as vampires, will seldom make it past their fifth century. Those who do begin to approach the three millennia mark will become increasingly conscious of their own imminent demise, and will often go to great lengths to avoid it. There are few things more dangerous than an ancient vampire determined to cling to its own existence.
