the usual Vampyre.
Following down from there are Vyrewatch, Vyre grunt, and Vyreling, with the juvinates and juviniles (who I assume correspond to Vyreling and grunt) at the bottom. I would also expect that unless otherwise stated or indicated (keeping in mind that undercover missions are always a possibility) that any Vampyre stuck on the other side of the River Salve (Sinister Stranger, Rautin, etc.) are particularily low in rank.
Those Vampyres holding land but living outside of Darkmeyer itself could either be lower ranked, or simply choose to live outside Darkmeyer based on personal choice-not enough evidence to support one way or another.
Vanesula seeks to overthrow Drakan, but needs to do it lawfully. Supposedly, she wants to overthrow him because she feels he is no longer an effective leader for the Vampyres. Furthermore, she also, in order to get us to help her, says that if she is ruler, she will stop the tithing and cattle-farming of Morytania's human population.
Other Vampyres are also unsatisfied with Drakan, but don't want to challenge him because of both tradition and fear of his power (which, as noted above, is waning). Vanescula, at least openly, no longer fears him,but still needs to get around the lawful aspect.
So she feels that if we kill him (possibly with her help, as long as no one else knows and lives to tell the tale-which possibly might include us, so we'd best be wary-) she can take over as ruler due to her being next in line.
That's about all I have, hierarchy wise-what do you guys think?
On a side note, with how structured their society is,it surprises me almost that they would be Zamorakians, as I would think using a pure Zamorakian doctrine, the strong rule, and that's the only law. Of course, there are different Zamorakian sects...
Wonder if they would return to Zaros' worship should he return (and give them the chance).
