Strength of Steel, Will of Iron
Centuries ago, a great evil raged across the lands, spreading destruction everywhere it went. The evil was caused by a deranged king only known as Vlad the Impaler. The king wanted to conqure all that his eyes set upon and destroyed everything that stood in his way. For many years he continued his rampage, but in his old age he realized that his reign would end soon and in desperation called upon the greatest sorcerers in his kingdom to study dark magics in order to allow Vlad to living forever but in a new form. Powerful magic fueled by the power of a blood red ellipse and the blood of mortals was cast, chaining not only Vlad but many of his own personal guard to his realm, turning them into monsters known as Vampires. The spell cast made it so that if their bodies were ever destroyed, they would simply return given enough blood.
With his new form Vlad had gained access to new strength and was forever in his prime. With the dark magics he summoned many monsters to do his battles and cause destruction on a scale that was achievable by mortal men. It wasn't until a team of 5 warriors, trained in ancient magic strong enough to counter Vlad's dark arts. With their magic they managed to fight off Vlad and his forces and soon destroyed Vlad's mortal form.
With Vlad destroyed the warriors retreated into the shadows, never to be seen again, or so it was thought. One of Vlad's sorcerers and some of his closest generals had escaped destruction and now continues to wage Vlad's war. Every 50 years when the Blood Eclipse is close to rising, Vlad's followers prepare the blood necessary to bring back their master fully back into the realm to destroy the world. However the warriors knew this was a possibility so during this time, they sought out new heirs to inherit their powers to make sure Vlad could never fully return to his full strength.
