We are the founders of the original civilizations on Earth and all countries upon it.

The West Coast is our home and a central location for Western Vampyre.

Portland, as well as other Oregon and Pacific Northwest cities, was founded by the Vampyric races–vampyre, werewolves, and (later) witches.

Evidence of the vampyre (and Mer) can be found around the city of Portland.

The City of Roses is a safe-haven for vampyre. Seattle a safe-haven for borne witches. Nevada is a safe-haven for the werewolf, but they can live safely throughout the range of the Western States. California is a safe-haven for the supernatural bear (non-human), the Mer (but their realm is all of the waters of the world), and all other non-human kindred.

Of course human history of the City’s founding does not recognize the contributions or existence of non-humans.

Certain Vampire Role-Playing Games were developed pre-internet. One, in particular, relied on stolen vampire lore–at a time when the creator developed a complex mythology and the game in under a year and without the use of the internet. A key year, as with my story, was 1991. Similar lore from our races would be stolen to create other popular video and role-playing games.

A hybrid had revealed the identity of a vampyre. His “punishment” was to go public with his identity as a vampire during a scheduled press conference. Instead, he showed up and did this. It was labeled a prank and publicity stunt for his office. He never did reveal himself.
