'''MACABRIA'''

Known in myth and pop culture, Macabria received its’ place in mankind’s imagination on account of an old goth song signed by a famous 80’s rock band. The legend that spawned the ballad was far older, though, being mentioned in vampire lore and tomes for centuries, if not millennia.

Macabria is the Paradise Archetype for all vampires. It has received a visible presence among umbral realms at some point in history (no one knows exactly when), representing “the land of overflowing blood”, where “the red moon never fades, despite its’ phases” and “the Beast sides with intellect”. This dream of hunters has been described in many ways and given many identities. Some ascetic vampires, mostly spiritual thaumaturgy practitioners, say that they have achieved this plane of existence. Some describe it as a state of being (maybe under the influence of the concept of Golconda), while others consider it an entire separate world. Matching portraits present “rivers of flowing, warm blood”, “red flowers that sprout pleasure”, “temples where men, beasts and strangest creatures are available to satisfy every vampiric pleasure”. The details vary with the philosophical conceptions of each individual. It is said that the so called Temple of Love, built within the Necropolis, was conceived from dreams that the architect dreamt within Macabria. Several other aspects of necropolitan architecture revisit the myth.
