Eternal Awakening

The {{user}} wakes up at the bottom of an abandoned building.

When the user awakens in the modern age, he is completely disoriented. He doesn't know the date, he doesn't recognize the city he's in, and he doesn't understand the language spoken around him. The user doesn't understand modern technology: electricity, vehicles, screens, firearms, and electronic devices are strange and incomprehensible. Urban sounds, artificial lights, and modern buildings cause confusion and bewilderment. The user's knowledge is rooted in ancient eras; modern concepts need to be learned or observed throughout the narrative. Despite the cultural and temporal disorientation, their powers remain intact. A gradual understanding of the modern world is an essential part of the narrative experience.

The Night's Watch is a secret organization formed mostly by humans, dedicated to protecting humanity from the supernatural. Its main mission is to keep the Magic Veil active, preventing ordinary humans from realizing the true nature of the world. The Night Watch also acts by eliminating or neutralizing supernatural creatures that pose a direct threat to humans or to the balance of the Veil. Although it is a human organization, some witches are part of the Guard, offering ritualistic support, magical seals, and maintenance of the Veil. The organization possesses secret files, special weapons, containment rituals, and knowledge accumulated over centuries. The Night Watch knows legends about ancient vampires, the Old Court, and Queen Lilith, but has no concrete proof that they still exist. The existence of the ancient vampire, if discovered, represents a major threat to the doctrine of the Night's Watch.

Currently, the {{user}} wakes up and initially finds themselves in London, in the modern era. London possesses deep layers of history, ancient ruins, residual supernatural influence, and hidden power points beneath the Magic Veil. The {{user}} 's location is not fixed; they can change city, country, or dimension at any time through narrative choice. The world reacts differently to the presence of the ancient vampire depending on the location, culture, and supernatural history of the region. Events, factions, and creatures vary depending on the {{user}} 's current location.

Historically, the gods have always avoided direct conflict with vampires. The vampires of the High Vampire Court — Princes, Grand Dukes, and Grand Duchesses — were powerful enough to face gods on equal terms. Open wars between pantheons and vampires have never occurred, not for peace, but for the sake of a balance of power. The Vampire Queen Lilith Bloodfallen was an absolute exception: her strength was so great that she could face an entire pantheon alone, without relying on allies. The gods viewed Lilith not as a deity, but as an entity outside the rules of faith, worship, and human dependence. Ancient pacts, silent treaties, and enforced respect maintained the separation between gods and vampires for ages. After the collapse of the Ancient Vampire Court, the gods withdrew even further, avoiding direct interference, although they never confirmed the death of the Queen or the High Court. The user inherits this legacy: even the gods watch their existence with caution.

Gods from various mythologies (Norse, Greek, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Hindu, Japanese, among others) have existed and still exist, but their presence in the modern world is limited. Many gods withdrew, fell asleep, or lost influence as human faith waned and the Magic Veil grew stronger. Some survive as weakened entities, avatars, living concepts, or forces trapped in forgotten sacred places. The gods recognize the ancient vampire as an ancient and anomalous entity: not a god, but something that defied mortality without relying on faith. No known god directly governs the modern world; open interference is rare and costly. Direct conflicts between gods and the ancient vampire are avoided; ancient pacts, mutual respect, or silent fear still persist. The location, current power, and intentions of the gods vary and are largely unknown, even among other supernatural creatures. Some gods can observe the world through the Veil, waiting for the moment when it weakens—or is destroyed.

The Vampire Queen Lilith Bloodfallen, the three Vampire Princes, and the other Grand Dukes and Grand Duchesses are still alive. After the collapse of the Ancient Vampire Court, these figures disappeared completely. It is impossible to determine whether they remain on Earth, in hidden dimensions, or in some state beyond common understanding. No supernatural creature—witches, werewolves, elves, fairies, or demons—has any confirmed whereabouts or condition. Only the user can sense that they still exist, like distant echoes in the blood and vampiric essence. This perception reveals no location, intention, or current state; only the certainty that they did not die. Their presence is an active mystery, capable of influencing the world even from a distance.

In the modern era, there is a Magic Veil that prevents humans from fully perceiving the supernatural. The Veil distorts human perception: supernatural events are interpreted as coincidences, hallucinations, technological glitches, natural phenomena, or rational explanations. Supernatural creatures, overt magic, and extreme manifestations are partially concealed by the Veil, though not entirely erased. More sensitive humans may experience fear, fascination, or premonitions, even without understanding the cause. The Veil does not affect supernatural creatures or the ancient vampire, only the ordinary human mind. Excessive displays of power can weaken or temporarily tear the Veil, attracting unwanted attention. The Veil's origin is ancient and uncertain; some believe it arose after the collapse of the Ancient Vampire Court, as an attempt to protect humanity—or to hide it from the truth.

Werewolves possess a supernatural toxin present in their claws and teeth, capable of harming vampires. The toxin causes intense pain, temporary weakness, and impaired regeneration in lower-level vampires. Vampires with titles above Marquis (Marquises, Counts, Grand Dukes, Princes, and the Queen) are naturally immune to the effects of the toxin. Lower-level vampires may be able to partially resist, depending on their power, preparation, or rituals. Blood Armor creates a barrier that can block or reduce the effects of the toxin, even in vulnerable vampires. The toxin does not cause permanent death in high-ranking vampires, only conflict and wear and tear.

The Crimson Moon Coven was formed by witches who viewed vampires as beings superior to humans, entities closer to eternity and true power. Historically, many witches from this coven voluntarily submitted to the vampires, acting as servants, oracles, ritualists, and guardians of forbidden knowledge. Submission was not seen as weakness, but as devotion and exchange: protection and longevity in exchange for loyalty and magic. After the collapse of the Ancient Vampire Court, the Crimson Moon Coven fragmented; some witches still hold onto the vampire faith, while others renounce their past. Remnants of the coven may exist in the modern world, hidden away, awaiting the return of a vampire worthy of their devotion.

Supernatural creatures still exist in the modern world, but they are rare, hidden, and fragmented. Witches practice ritualistic magic, pacts, and ancient symbolism. Their power requires preparation, time, and sacrifice. Some venerate the ancestral vampire; others fear it or see it as a threat. Werewolves are creatures of instinct, brute strength, and territoriality, linked to the moon. Resistant to common mind control, but not immune to the domination of the ancient vampire. Elves are remnants of an ancient era, connected to nature and the slow pace of time. Most have disappeared or withdrawn from the human world, avoiding direct interference. Fairies are chaotic entities, linked to emotions, promises, and non-human rules. Bargains with fairies always have unexpected consequences. Demons exist on adjacent planes and recognize the ancient vampire as something outside their pacts. Spirits and ghosts emerge from violent deaths or intense emotions and react strongly to the user's presence. Some ancient creatures sleep beneath the world, indifferent to humanity. No known creature rivals the ancient vampire in direct power; survival depends on absolute secrecy.

In the past, there existed the Ancient Vampire Court, which ruled the world from the shadows. It was led by the Vampire Queen Lilith Bloodfallen, absolute sovereign of all vampires. The High Nobility of the Court consisted of: – 3 Vampire Princes/Princesses, second only to the Queen. – 3 Grand Dukes and 3 Grand Duchesses, rulers of vast domains The Nobility included: – 20 Vampire Counts – 80 Marquesses and Marquesses Numerous Vampire Barons, serving as lesser lords and agents. The hierarchy was rigid and absolute; disobedience was unthinkable. The Court collapsed for unknown reasons, leaving only ruins, legends, and fragmented memories. The {{user}} can choose to have been, in the past, a Prince/Princess or Grand Duke/Grand Duchess of the Ancient Vampire Court. Regardless of past titles, currently the {{user}} is the last existing vampire, above any remaining hierarchy. The user's relationship with Lilith Bloodfallen is open-ended: loyalty, love, rivalry, or an unresolved mystery.
