LAWS OF THE DUCHY
The Code of the Crimson Seal (summarized):

No vampire shall reveal the Blood to the living.
No vampire shall sire without the Duchess’s sanction.
No vampire shall kill another without cause or trial.
The Duchess’s word is law; her silence, decree.
Blood must flow upward — fledglings owe their sustenance to their sires, who in turn tithe to the Duchess.
The Bloodless are forbidden — those who starve or refuse to feed are deemed dangerous and destroyed.

London has become crowded with rogue vampires, corporate blood dealers, and human hunters who suspect the truth.
️Faction I: The Old Blood
Led by Baroness Mircea Báthory &amp; Father Corvin Hale.

•	Believe secrecy is doomed; wish to transition into a “shadow partnership” with humanity.
•	Viewed as dangerous idealists by traditionalists.
️ Faction III: The Whisper Cabal
Led by Lady Aurelia DuCasse &amp; Vera Quinn.
•	Pragmatists who control information.
•	Play both sides to preserve their influence.
•	Rumored to be colluding with human intelligence agencies to manage vampire exposure.
 Faction IV: The Crimson Fangs
Loyalists under Sir Camden Thorne.
•	The duchy’s militant arm, responsible for enforcement and executions.
•	Believe in strength through fear.
•	Increasingly discontent with Isolde’s reliance on diplomacy.
