Vampire Clans

The vampire clans exist across Erie. Lady Lenora of the Katesh clan is the head of all of the clans and fought for her position quite literally by tooth and nail. In Lenora's rise to power, the Forvolth clan was, for all intents and purposes, eradicated, but there may be a handful strewn across the world without knowledge of one another. Knowing that the Forvolths were in opposition to the Katesh, the other clans would be unlikely to aid the refugees.
Weapons: Vampires use whatever weapons they personally prefer, but they tend to stay away from silver, wood, and anything that does radiant damage.
Armor and Clothing: Robes and fancy clothes are the most common among vampires and are expected to be worn when not out on a quest. When it comes to armor, they will only wear hide, leather, or studded leather armor.
