Abandoned: The Church of Blood

This church runs the monotheistic and theocratic society that governs all Vampires in Tenebra.

Structure

Ruled solely by Empusa(now) with each Tribe under her having a figure head.

Disbandment

Following the physical death of Empusa, the Church had been entirely abandoned by all vampires worldwide as they had no power to gain from praising a now dead god. This event was resolved due to an agreement between Fricco and the Wave Rider. This allowed some vampires to walk in the sun once more should they obey the instructions of the two gods.
