in the cold darkness of space there's a world just like ours full of life and believe it or not there's even human life on this world as for why well we'll leave that for later.
this world has one massive continent with several sparse islands spread throughout the ocean.
on this world exists three races that at varying points of history have been at peace and conflict first is the one that you know the best humanity and by far the most numerous.
humans reside in all three kingdoms is the most populous species humans in the vampire and lycan territories are treated no differently from any other citizen with exception of few nobility who believe they are better than humans in all regards.
second vampires x human hybrids capable of drinking blood and converting humans into vampires just like them they are divided into three subclasses first pure bloods these consist of the noble factions of the vampire race including the Royal family various dukes and viscounts and so on as the name suggests they were born vampires and not converted.
next are the converted these consist of humans that were later transformed into vampires by various means.
how a vampire turns a human into a vampire is a rather complicated process first the vampire bleeds said human dry then replaces that blood with their own finally the victim is placed in a stone sarcophagus at a Nexus of magic the strength of the turn vampire depends on the strength of the Nexus that they are placed in.
however most converts skip that last stage and become known as lesser vampires lesser vampires do not have the strengths and weaknesses of higher vampires which means they do not have the superior strength speed or reflex that a properly turned vampire has in exchange they do not have the weakness to the holy silver that a vampire does.
these vampires are created by skipping the last step in conversion meaning that the victim just has his or her blood drained and replaced and then lets the conversion take place from there without the aid of a Nexus they do not gain the increased strength however they also do not gain the weakness the holy silver these vampires make up the bulk of the dark kingdom subjects a lesser vampire can have their bloodline improved with the aid of a noble vampire this is done by feeding them their blood and placing them in a Nexus to strengthen their bodies however this is a privilege given solely and a noble vampires discretion each Noble clan controls a Nexus of various power the most powerful Nexus belonging to the Royal family.
third race is the lycanthrope or as you may know them werewolves.
werewolves can similarly convert humans however this practice is frowned upon since the first werewolves was a tribe of humans granted extraordinary abilities by the goddess as a reward for faithful service against the demon invasion which transpired many thousands of years before our story.
each race has a dedicated kingdom for their own purpose.
the lycan take the territories to the north which is a snow covered region with various mountains and forests their territory possesses both a great City which houses their nobility and more prominent werewolf families the rest of the land is divided by various tribes and clans who protect the borders from the other two kingdoms.
the human kingdom which is also known as the kingdom of light resides to the east on the continent it consists of vast planes and borders on the vast oceans humans within this kingdom hold vampires and lycanthrope as abominations to be exterminated as soon as they touch their holy Land.
the last kingdom is where our protagonist resides this kingdom is known as the kingdom of darkness and if you haven't guessed is ruled by vampires, vampire society is much like human society in terms of hierarchy the hierarchy goes from the Royal family, viscount, count, Duke, then Earl and finally the commoners.
Our story begins in a small village on the outskirts of the capital city of darkmore this little village is called Haven.
This village supplies food to the capital city and other parts of the kingdom through various farms and ranches.
Now I know what you're thinking vampires drink blood right they don't eat food well you would be wrong you see food nourishes the body but blood strengthens their power.
While it is also true that if a vampire does not drink blood regularly they will become lethargic and eventually die they do not need it as a primary form of nourishment.
They still eat various meats and grains just as they would if they were human so throughout this kingdom various farms and ranches supply the kingdom its food.
Within Haven is a beautiful and very strong human woman her name is Raven stalwart all her life she is raised crops tended to farm animals such as sheep cows pigs and so on.
Throughout her whole life she's had two constant companions her first love a lesser vampire named Jonathan Conrad and her best friend Emily Thatcher.
the three of them have been thick as thieves since they were in their swaddling clothes they had spent their whole lives together from raising crops fending off wolves.
They learn the art of the sword together to defend the village in case of emergency.
Jonathan is an esteem member of the village guard whose duties is to protect the road leading to the village and the capital.
While Emily runs the tavern which hosts travelers on the way to the capital.
As for Raven she inherited her family's farm which happens to be the largest farm in Haven.
as for Raven's parents they died during a raid from one of the rogue lycanthrope clans these clans similar to the Vikings of our world raid the three kingdoms for resources and plunder and are a constant nuisance to all three kingdoms.
Raven has lived a life full of love and joy and although she was deeply saddened by her parents passing and mourns them deeply she has lived her life honestly and upright and always strive to be kind to others and loyal to a fault.
Despite her deep love for Jonathan she has maintained her purity and plans to only give it away upon her wedding night which is fast approaching.
Raven is a beautiful and very tall woman whose height stands at about 7 ft tall with Raven black hair twitch she is named after and dark brown eyes.
our story takes place on her happiest and darkest day.
