[QUOTE="TheVengefulKoala, post: 5393393, member: 99681"] [B][U][SIZE=3]Undead Society[/SIZE][/U][/B] Before the Twelfth Crusade, vampire society was a complex mix of a feudal hierarchy combined with enough back-stabbing and plotting to staisfy even the most machiavellian schemer. Given the enevitable ennui of an eternity of undeath, vampires constantly plotted against each other, both to increase their own status and to relieve boredom. Vampiric society was ruled by the vampiric Royal Family, and as age correlates to a vampire's relative power, the undead King and Queen were usually some of the oldest in the world. They ruled over an assortment of nobles, who in turn ruled over the undead in a given domain. After the Royal Family and most of the nobility were flash-fried, things fell apart. With nobody to keep them in line, many of the survivng nobles turned on each other, trying to claim more territory, more slaves, more power. This allowed the American Reconquista to proceed much more smoothly than otherwise. After the end of the Twelfth Crusade, the surviving nobles, agreeing that survival was better than petty personal gain, agreed to (at the least) limited cooperation. The surviving major nobles meet annually to discuss events and hold a sort of "administrative council". Though it is a more democratic procedure than the old monarchic system, vampire society today is anything about liberty and freedom. Political manuevering is still very common place, and even accepted. The saying "it's not breaking the law if you don't get caught" is a major part of undead life. Next planned update: the template.
