They are over seven thousand years old. v Antediluvians: Second oldest vampires. They are approximately five to three thousand years old. v Conscientia (The Knowledge): Conscientia is knowledge of the origin of the vampires. It is protected at all costs, because it would give Arvo a clear advantage. v Dhamphyre: Offspring of two VIRVs that are less than one thousand years old. v Incrementum (deadly offspring): A powerful offspring of two Antediluvians or Ancient Dead. v Nocturnes: The youngest vampires. They are only centuries old and cannot venture into the light. v Poisoned Minds of Darkness: mortals and immortals who commit crimes against nature. They abuse the worlds natural resources (including mortals). The crimes can range from deforestation of the rain forest to child abuse. v Sakros-Dola (Sacred Language): An Indo-European language. Only the Ancient Dead and their direct descendents, the Antediluvian, are allowed to speak to one another. It is considered an insult if any other types of vampires speak the language. v Wortos-potis: Indo-European for lord master.
