This small tribe live primarily on the Island of Delos in the Cyclades, Greece.  They are the keepers of the past and of secrets.  Whenever there is a need, the Vrykolatios host the gathering of the vampiric council, so that the tribal elders may meet, discuss, and often condemn to death.

Ruled by Vladamir

The ruler, Vladamir, has gone into a sopor, sleeping deeply as eternity passes.  No one knows why.  His vampiric son, JirĂ­, has been left in his place to rule the Moroi tribe.  But, because he is not a true elder, he is often left out of important matters.

The Moroi originated in Eastern Europe with much remaining folklore in Romania and surrounding countries.  They have been also called Strigoiu, Strigoi, Nosferatu, Norferat.

They are a large tribe, very sexual, and very protective of their mortal families and lines.  They are typically known as the more friendlier of the tribal clans when it comes to mortals, but don't let down your guard.  Their friendship often comes with a bite.  They are very adept at mesmerizing and at reading thoughts, which may be why humans tend to think of them as more sympathetic.

Ruled by Pietro

Pietro of the Llugut refuses to make more of his kind and aside from a Dark Knight, he is the last of his vampiric line.  He often angers the other tribal leaders for his disinterest in their vampiric world and for denying their true vampiric nature.  This tribe originated in Albania.

Ruled by Ragnhild

Originally for Norway, Iceland, and the surrounding area.  These vampires are traditionally pale in color, due to their region and Viking-like backgrounds, though over the centuries their line has spread over the world.  They are strong and are able to shapeshift into mist, often moving through earth by swimming through cracks in the stone.  Though they aren't so adept to read minds, they do have the power to mesmerize and can control the weather to a certain extent.  They are attracted to youth and beauty.
