Gylidder Dhampir
In Gylidd, vampirism (and thereby dhampirism) are exceedingly rare. Their creation stories are often as individually unique as they are tragic, since legal undeath is typically highly regulated and even then not often vampiric. There is one particularly famous exception in the Realm, however...
Ley Dhampir
A ley vampire is a vampire who has undergone ritual experimentation and meditation to sate their thirst for blood by instead drinking from the inherent ley energy of the planet. In this way, a vampire can learn to avoid causing death and pain to other beings, preventing the inexorable shift towards evil that usually follows in vampirism's wake. In addition to this, ley vampires no longer fear sunlight, running water, and other weaknesses of vampires, although they must return periodically to meditate in an area with a high confluence of ley energy to maintain their strength.
There is currently only one true ley vampire in existence,
Amrith Hogaine, who has been attempting to replicate the process with other vampires for over 50 years. In recent weeks, the Advocate of Gylidd has had a breakthrough with lesser vampires, demonstrating the ability to wean vampire spawn (but not yet true vampires like himself) from their taste for blood and dependence upon the night, transmuting them into Ley Dhampirs. They do not share his mastery over the Ley Energy of Myzelis, but they are also unbound from it, allowing them the freedom to pursue their own lives once again.
