I dunno true Vampyres we've seen so far haven't been too evil directly except Ranis tbh. Draynor was pretty weak and had to prey on people, Vanescula has been sort of helping us and Drakan is keeping to himself doing nothing really.

Step into the shoes of a Meiyerditch citizen and try not to call the Vampyres evil. Try it.

The only Vampyre that springs to mind that could even remotely be good is the Sinister Stranger, and we all know that he is a product of Jagex' earlier, more light-hearted years.

Also, what did the Vampyres feed on under Zaros? We know that Drakan has only just discovered an alternative to feeding on blood, so they must have been consuming blood at the time. Did Zaros just let them have their way with a few peasants in his kingdom, or what? The answer could tell us a lot about how good or evil both the Vampyres and Zaros was during the Second Age.

I am aware however which of those Vampyres taking tithes are true Vampyres? None of them except those in charge.

I'm still convinced Vanescula shut down haemalchemy in a plot to overthrow Drakan and I am sure she is evil and Ranis seems pretty evil. Drakan I really don't have a strong feeling for either way. He doesn't seem evil to me just very political.

I imagine the Vampyres of the 2nd age fed on blood of their enemies. If the Vampyres were at war currently they could do the same.

The idea that it was Vanescula who shut down the laboratory rather than Drakan is very interesting, but is it realistic? Surely Drakan still held enough power and influence to stop that from happening. After all, Vanescula did admit that she is currently not in the position to overthrow her brother due to the backlash she would receive from the vyrelords, so why couldn't Drakan rally them together to stop Vanescula from such a blatant act of treachery?

Of course a Meiyerditch citizen will think of them as evil. They're the ones getting tithed. But are humans that much different when we farm cattle?

That's not to say the Vampyres are scions of holy light or anything. They're still jerks that have to go, but I thought I'd ask the question anyway just because it seemed interesting to discuss.

Also, what did the Vampyres feed on under Zaros? We know that Drakan has only just discovered an alternative to feeding on blood, so they must have been consuming blood at the time. Did Zaros just let them have their way with a few peasants in his kingdom, or what? The answer could tell us a lot about how good or evil both the Vampyres and Zaros was during the Second Age.

I want to know as well actually. Mod Jack said in the past that the Zarosian Empire wasn't a place that we'd want to live in, so maybe that was part of the reason? Or they could've fed off of the ranks of enemy armies. Those seemed plentiful enough from what sources on the second age we have.

From a Vampyric viewpoint it might be. Way I see it working would be that work on hemalchemy gets started, Vanescula shuts it down (probably in secret or through deceit) in order to halt progress. Then when the rest of the Vampyres start getting restless enough, shift the blame to Drakan to incite a rebellion. And once he's out, step in and take over and start up research again.

The end result? Vanescula comes out smelling like roses, Vampyres have an alternate food source, and they can sustain themselves for future plans. Added bonus: the Vampyres might like Vanescula enough to become a viable threat and start working towards breaching the salve barrier now that their main disadvantage is taken care of.

I hate manual bumps -.- *kicks thread up*

Why would you have to bump it manually?

anyway, I would like to know, hatter, do you think its possible that the vampyres may shift their allegiance back to Zaros at any point in the near future? "We call it being a hero"
"That's interesting, we call it utter stupidity"

^Because contrary to popular belief, I have a few other threads in different forums that already took up my use of the bump button during the past few minutes :/

And I think they actually might change sides if Zaros makes them a decent offer. Or maybe the vampyres will just split in half and have one group go Zarosian and the other group goes and sides with whoever is the most useful to them at the time.
