Description This is a Vamphyri Lord, a truly old and venerable vampire. I didn't have enough room for his wing so it's a little condensed. My apologies for this lack of foresight when drawing this, BUT on to the vampire lord...

These truly powerful vampires have increased their covenant with hell and gain even more power than normal vampires. They can change into a more terrifying demonic vampire form gaining demonic armor, greater strength, and enhanced abilities. They gain hellish powers like control over fire and able to call forth infernal flames, or can even seem to teleport short distances, summon minor demons of hell to aid them, all is not known of what they can do making them the most deadliest vampires in existence.

Even some of their weaknesses lessen. Some of them can walk in the day and are only weakened to a lesser power state rather than burn in God's light. Some can take holy water to their flesh and although it burns and pains them it is far less a mortal wound to them. They can begin to resist crosses and even a wound through the heart will not kill them if not fallowed by immediately by other means of holy retribution.

In my campaign world there is only one thing vampire lord pauses to consider a threat, and that is Morkavian Werewolves, who specialize in killing vampires in order to prolong their own lives and enhance their own powers. Amongst the Morkavian werewolves the oldest of vampires are the greatest of prizes, but even the Morkavian werewolves know that to hunt a Vampire Lord is a huge risk to life and soul, even for them.

are you going to do vampire dragons? In my opinion they are some of the most powerful creatures out there.

No vampire dragons, sorry. Only children of Aeons can be vampires, Humans, Half elves, Half Dwarves, etc...

Ohh i love those games. I get sad that they will no longer be made. Sadly all we have now is Twilight Vampires.

It does look kinda' like he's dancing. But I just wanted to make him look regal as he leaps or flies, just for the cameras sake.

What would happen if a Vamphyri Lord fed on a Morkavian Werewolf?

Nothing, a Morkavian Werewolf isn't a child of God, therefore not fulfilling the immortal blood of God through the unholy sacrament.

So the Vamphyri Lord is like a fallen angel of sorts?

Level9Drow In reply to hunterXIII [2012-08-30 00:32:10 +0000 UTC]

Nope. Vampires are human in origin. It's just that true vampires, theier lore, their idea, is tied to Christianity in order to be or feel authentic. Vampires are humans who have forsaken the bllood of Christ and therefore immortality through the grace of God. And so to get that immortality they then instead take it from the blood of the children of God, humans. They are dead yet live reflecting that God has forsaken the gift of life and has taken it away from them. Satan has bestowed a false life on them, what we know now in pop culture as undead. In the case of the vampire lord he is an extremely old vampire, and as sutch, the bond with hell and Satan are exceedingly strong. This causes them to be mopre powerful within the boundries of evil.

Woah, very spiky, very demonic and creepy to no end!
A great depiction here! And I can totally imagine these guys being one of the greatest threats around, far less lethal than a lich, for instance, but still.
