In the depths of time, her name was Elizabeth Báthory, a countess with a terrible desire to remain beautiful forever - and thought that bathing in the blood of beautiful young girls would would keep the effects of time at bay. Yet few know her by name except as the Bloody Countess - a monster. Her house features a dining room with pictures of dryads and other female figures from myth, twisted and darkened, in a room with a fireplace and a set table with gold place settings. Upstairs, her bathroom is already filled, with an ornate iron maiden nearby to soften up her bath providers. Above, she rests in either a large feather bed, or in a mystically patterned coffin.
The City of Vampires exists in a netherworld, a city of black stone resting on a stone island in a sea of mist. Its denizens are from countries unknown to each other, seemingly walking into the city by accident. Seeing neither sun or moon, but hazy orbs beyond a cloudy sky, the wary vacate the streets during the Dark Hour, for it is then that the monsters walk freely.
