The Arcane Scholars:
Long before the world had seen the rise of
Vampires, the
Arcanum Sanguinarius were revered as scholars and practitioners of arcane
Magic. They resided in a hidden and remote citadel, delving into the most forbidden and esoteric branches of magic. Their thirst for forbidden knowledge knew no bounds.
The Forbidden Tome:
It was in the deepest recesses of their hidden library that the sorcerers stumbled upon an ancient and cursed grimoire known as "
Lilith's Blessing." This malevolent grimoire contained dark rituals and incantations that promised eternal life and power beyond imagination. Intrigued and lured by the promise of immortality, the Arcanum Sanguinarius sought to unlock the secrets within.
The Ritual of the Blood Moon:
With unwavering determination, the sorcerers deciphered the arcane texts and rituals inscribed within the grimoire. They discovered a ritual known as the "
Crimson Ascension," a dark and perilous incantation that required the convergence of celestial forces and a willing sacrifice.
The Creation of Vampires:
In a secluded chamber beneath the citadel, beneath the crimson glow of a celestial alignment, the Arcanum Sanguinarius enacted the forbidden ritual. A chosen member of their order,
Elzudel, offered himself as the willing sacrifice. As the celestial forces aligned and the ritual reached its zenith, the sorcerers were bathed in a torrent of crimson energy, transforming them into the first vampires.
The Price of Immortality:
The newfound power and immortality came at a terrible cost. The sorcerers, once noble and wise, were forever cursed with insatiable bloodlust. They became creatures of the night, immortal but eternally bound to the need to feed on the life essence of others. Their reflections vanished, and they could no longer walk in the light of day.
The Vampiric Curse Spreads:
As the Arcanum Sanguinarius ventured into the world, they discovered that their vampiric curse was not confined to their order. They found that their blood, tainted by the forbidden ritual, could be passed on to others. Those they fed upon and spared became the first generation of vampires, and thus the curse began to spread.
The Shadows of History:
Over the ages, the vampires descended from the Arcanum Sanguinarius developed their own society and culture, with their own rules, clans, and traditions. The Arcanum Sanguinarius, once seekers of knowledge and power, became a dark and dreaded chapter in the history. Their forbidden ritual led to the creation of vampires, immortal beings forever bound by their curse of bloodlust and the eternal night. The legacy of the Arcanum Sanguinarius serves as a cautionary tale, a reminder of the dire consequences that can arise from the pursuit of forbidden knowledge and the temptation of immortality.
