Vampiri

"'No, these people are not the stereotypical vampires you think of. They actually get rather annoyed about that if you bring it up... Though they are able to drink blood so...' -Empress Elian Czongor"The Principality of Vampirilor is a micro-state located in the Deep Treeshroud Forest region of the Cironean continent on Belua.

Beginning
The Vampire race, originally persecuted and hunted down for their biology, retreated into the Treeshroud Forest, where the hunters dared not to venture further. They didn't just hide, they founded a civilization and language there. Eventually, a nation arose, isolated from the outside world.

Isolation
Their time of isolation was shotty at best. The ruling princes ruled both kindly and mercilessly, yet SOMEHOW managed to keep the country together.

Yet they weren't alone. A tribe of Leparticans also lived nearby, where some Vampirics had an idea. After approaching a group, they told them that the tribe would not die if they drank their venom, BUT their bloodline had to serve under the Vampirics. Many fled, but some fell to the threat. And thus, the Fledglings were created.

The escaped Leparticans, furious, created an organization of Vampire Hunters to "free the souls of their kin." The Hunters still exist today, and they absolutely hate the Vampirics.

Into the Outside World
It was not after the first two civil wars of Cironea that the Vampirics came out to hopefully talk in peace with their cousins. Their hopes were answered in peace as they were granted status as a princely state under Cironea, no longer away from all others, yet independent enough to do their own thing.

Today
Today, it is still a small state, but able to do its own thing in their few castles located deep in the great forest. Interestingly, you can find not only their flag, but the flag of Romania scattered around in a few places.
