Cyrodiil Vampyrum

The Cyrodiil Vampyrum or Order of the Vampires, is a powerful vamprical cult that has exisited since the end of the Mythic Era. The cult was created to bring the vampires of Cyrodiil together into a Brotherhood. They are ruthless and will kill anyone who gets in their way or messes with their beliefs.

The Order
They are no simple tribe of savages, tearing throats with the orgiastic abandon of their scattered, tribal brethren. Theirs is a civil fraternity, to which they are bound, all of them, by their dual hunger for flesh and ifluence. By the virtue of Imperial structure and beauracracy, Cyrodiil has become their stronghold in the third era, and they suffer no savage rivals within their boundaries, they reveal themselves to none, and manipulate society to meet their agendas.

Dual Patrons
To kin-father Molag Bal, who brought forth the Bloodmatron Lamae to spite Arkay, they owe their existence, as do all vampires, though not all honor him. For him, they revel in the feast, and acknowledge the gift adrift in their veins.

To patron Clavicus Vile, beacon of their affairs, they owe their successes and social stature. Their bond with Vile makes them unique among their kind, for his guidance steels their savage craving with reason and savvy. For him they live admist mankind, and twist them to their will from offices of power.

Rivals
Most barbaric tribes think themselves powerful by the gift of Bal's blood alone, and squander the gift. There are those however who show signs of enlightenment, and earn their attention, those such as the Glenmoril Wryd, who live within the walls of Breton cities, or the Whet-Fang sodality of Black Marsh, who use magicka to keep captives catatonic and harvest from them the red nectar. These foes may one day threaten to impugn their soveriegnity in Cyrodiil. If any encroach upon their border, they kill them.

Conduct
To preserve their ideals and their way of life, they observe two primary edicts. They reveal themselves and their order to no one, for discretion is one of their greatest virtues. Do not feed where they may be found out, or on those who may suspect your passing. Avoid daylight by lifestyle, dispel common belief in vampires, and maintain supple appearance through satisfaction of the thirst. Secondly, they devote themselves to the pursuits of procurement of influence, political and otherwise.
