The Graceful and Deadly Zephyons
In all the lands of Vampra, none is as graceful and speedy as the Zephyons of the Vampires. Possessing distinct feline bodies and sporting wings from young, females vampires are nurtured into one of the House’s elite classes. Zephyons’ societies are an interestin and unique culture, inhabiting the top nestled homes and spires. Aloof and mysterious, but not cynical like the dreadlords, Zephyons serve as scouts, transporters and most of all, deadly combatants of House Vampra. They are blessed with extraordinary quickness, and a plethora of strange natural ablities- such as being able to spawn dark smoke, from their flight, capable of disorientating and confusing enitre armies. Zephyons are like the druids of Vampra, bonding closely with animals, creating great creatures “touched” by the flames of Vampra.
These creatures are referred to as the Horde of Vagran’s, seemingly mutated and stronger specimens of their former selves.

The Horde of Vagran’s respond strongly to the Call of the Zephyons, serving them as companions, and in most cases, weapons of war. Besides their natural formidable allies, Zephyons are living arsenals of weapons themselves. They pride themselves in meticulously crafted armor of enchanted darksteel, and wield special sentient blades which whirl around them, seeking the flesh of enemies in battle. Zephyons love to conceal their identities for some reason, and their helmets or masks often cover parts of their face.Zephyons do not need to see, as they can sense everything around them in a special way,lending acute awareness to their credit. They use this ability to "see"the energies within each single soul; of their potential threat or prowess in auras, this ability makes them powerful hunters able to take down the greatest threat among adversaries.

The fighting style of the Zephyons is an awesome dance of death as they swoop down from skies, whirling as they dive themselves violently-to the midst of enemies- to catastrophic devastation, sending blades slicing and body parts splitting away. After which they will relish the sight of their marvelous handiwork as they soar to the air again.
Humans often scramble away in panic, when they see the sight of one furiously “charging” Zephyon, only to be consumed by the utter darkness of despair and confusion caused by the aftermath of their flights. And if the dive was not enough to take all of them out, they will soon take each other down as the cloud of confusion and madness engulf them all.

However, Zephyons are not without equals in combat, their main nemesis include the Avian Guardians, winged creatures of the Light the Zephyons called Halfbloods. Avian Guardians are exceptional archers, even in air, and the most powerful of them throw spears to powerful effect. Zephyons Warleaders also have to watch out for the deadly combination of archers and supporting wizards, who can slow them for their troops to fire at the flying terror. The Zephyons pay the Hawkmen no heed, they consider themselves superior in combat, and rightly so, for the spear wielders of the air cannot withstand barrages of attacks from their deadly claws and magical weapons.

Zephyons enjoy the thrill of combat, and teasing enemies before dropping the full package of pain. They relinquish the ability of flight, taking victims and blasting into the air to drain away their lifeforce and hurling them as missiles back to the land-bound adversaries to mock them utterly.

Looks can be deceiving, and that applies to the strength of the Zephyons for they can lift even three ogres into the air- one hooked by any of the sentient blades each, to be used as meat bombs if they so choose. Indeed, among all the vampire classes, none are as witty and resourceful as the Zephyons- the flying terrors of the skies.
