Character
House Varanov
The vampire clan that rules Vlad
The Varanovs are not human. Founded by Vlad Varanov, the first vampire and a cofounder of the state, the family rules the province and city of Vlad. It is subject to neither the taxes nor the constraints imposed on other lords.
Its relations with the Stonehearts are strained for reasons dating back to the great war of mages. The family library in Vlad is filled with rare tomes and scrolls, and Varanov children attend the Academy like those of any other great house.
