D&D Vampire

Vampires
Legends tell of terrible creatures of the night that drink blood and are masters of the undead. They are able to turn into bats to hide from their prey who are unsuspecting of such a tiny creature. They wield powers of seduction and charming, and are able to force anyone to do their will. They are known as Vampires.

The Start of It All
Vampires are not a natural part of the world. They are born of terrible eldritch magic that started from the very first vampire, Count Vlad the Impaler, known better as “Dracula”. It is said that the Count studied the dark eldritch arts at the school of Scholomance. Becoming proficient in alchemy and eldritch magic, he found a way to turn himself into a terrifying undead creature known as a Vampire.

Slaves to Their Masters
Every vampire is born from another vampire. When a vampire kills a humanoid creature by draining its blood, it raises again the next night as a vampire spawn under the control of the vampire who bit it. In time, that vampire spawn will come to learn their new powers, becoming a fully-fledged vampire. However, it will always remain the slave of the one who bit it. There is but two ways to be free of this control. The first is for the master to harm the servant. If this is done, the control is broken, and the servant is free. The second is for the master to die.
