Snow White Hills Blood Bowl Chronicles

The Priest Kings of Lahmia, in old Nehekhara, experimented with dark forces to keep themselves alive forever. So it was that the first ever Vampires were created, then began to feed and spawn. Fortunately for Humanity, those first Vampires were by far the most powerful, with each link in the chain growing weaker and weaker as the lineage stretches through Vampire to Vampire and down to the present day. Most of the first group of Vampires were slain in war with the Priest Kings of the other cities, and so we now know that even the most powerful Vampires can be killed by mortals who are pure of heart and strong of arm.: — Waldemarr, Scholar of Nuln
