vampires never die even if eons turn their bones to chalk.

Overview

Here, just north of Mt. Scorshia, and perhaps in a few other places in these lands, uplift and erosion have exposed a great mass of fossilized vampires to the unkind rays of the sun.

Long ago, before the first tree of the Kingswood was planted, a great vampiric plague swept over the land. It spread so far and so fast that the living could not stand before it and every creature either fled or was turned. With no victims remaining, the vampires learned many things about the nature of hunger before finally falling into slumber.

Ages passed and then still more ages and now all that is left of the great vampire hordes that once consumed these lands is a chalky layer of sediment that usually lies deep below the earth. But vampires never die and though their bones have been fossilized they live and every so often one of them stumbles out of the mountainside very old, very hungry, and very insane.
