Vorax was not like any other vampire the kingdom had seen. He was older, much older, and his origins remained a mystery. Legends whispered that he had been a servant to the forgotten gods of darkness that the Shade Court revered and had spent centuries hidden in the deepest recesses of the Vampire Kingdom, patiently biding his time.
His return was nothing short of an uprising. Using his immense wealth of knowledge, Vorax had learned forbidden secrets of summoning and dark magic, practices that had been cast aside during Asmodeus' reign due to their dangers. Now, Vorax had set about resurrecting ancient beings known only as the "Eldritch Minions," monstrous creatures that existed long before the first vampire king, Valthor. These creatures were not like the familiar summons vampires traditionally controlled—they were beings of nightmare, with immense power and an insatiable hunger for destruction.
As Vorax unleashed his army of Eldritch Minions, the kingdom was thrown into disarray. Entire regions fell to his conquest with terrifying speed. Even the mighty vampire legions could do little against the savage and otherworldly strength of these creatures. Word spread across the kingdom that a new, terrifying threat had emerged, one that sought not only to claim the throne but to annihilate those who dared stand in its path.
Queen Melisandre, desperate to keep the kingdom from collapsing, summoned the last of her loyal generals, including a mysterious sorcerer named Cyrios, to aid in her efforts. Cyrios, rumored to be the last descendant of the Vampire King Laelis, had long kept his true power hidden, but now, with his kingdom on the brink of ruin, he was forced to reveal his secret—he could wield magic that allowed him to summon a powerful creature, one of the ten-star summons, known as "Crysira, the Infernal Serpent."
As battles between Vorax's forces and the vampires loyal to Melisandre ensued, both sides employed dark rituals and powerful summons that shook the foundations of the vampire world. The land, already scarred from centuries of war, became an even greater battleground.
