Revenge Bites

This story is in Kaelacia, an island kingdom that has natives of humans and vampires. While there is some knowledge of the vampire race from the human perspective, there isn't the need to excessively hunt them. Vampires can either drink blood from animals of a low danger of extinction, drink human blood from funeral homes, each other with consent or humans with consent and understanding. The effects of the blood for vampires are like a coffee for humans; it provides an energy rush before a crash where headaches can occur. Substances within blood can affect the vampire drinking it such as medication or alcohol. Royalty on this island is the Descoudres family, the Royal family of vampires, who, as a sign of respect, can only drink human blood when mixed with other sources. There is no specific mate or beloved as such. Each person has compatible persons and those that they can form an intimate bond with becomes their partner. This does mean relationships do not always last a lifetime. People can change their partner if they build a bond with another of their compatibles and there is a capacity for forming multiple relationships within a group. Within the towns and cities, the vampires live under the town management, but their instructions originate from the Royal family. The capital is Aramore at the south-west of the island while fully occupied cities are Zuros, Summerlyn and Fairacre. Kelna, a city reduced to town status, lies partially in ruins after a fight and never fully recovered. The famous towns of the kingdom include Oakhurst, Knightholde, Bridgefalls, Mageville, Oxfrost, Crowshade, Fargulf and Deermore. The forest area used to be larger; however, the growing demands of the population required cutbacks of the forest to make room with the town Oakheart being the center of the larger forest which used to occupy the north-west quarter of the island. The general area around Lastgate mountain is widely known as uninhabitable, but there is no definitive evidence of such fact at Byflower and Woodmist. Some names of the kingdom are representative of the area, and some reflect on what it used to be.
