Vampires are, perhaps, the most unknown creatures on the Isle of Lumen.  Their histories are scattered at best, but a healthy amount of information has been gathered about their past.

Vampires are extremely intelligent beings, who around their first generations developed a way to communicate soundly with one another.  Their documented past involves their creation - being the oldest living creatures on the Isle of Lumen, they are believed to have descended from the Six Divine, who gave them life.  

Organized government was almost as immediate as organized communication, but many different forms of government came and went.  At first, a group of three Vampires took the reins over the entire race, but a rebellion ensued after unfair treatment took place, and they were all slaughtered.  After an extended period of anarchy, the same form of government took place, then named the "Cothroime".  The three were all regarded as fair and trustworthy, and reigned for at least a hundred years.  Eventually, however, the three lost their patience with one another and the trio was taken down as the rulers.

Almost at once, another, single person took the stage as ruler: the Vampiress D'ardaigh.  This Vampire, who remains alive to this day was regarded as a perfect ruler, and she remained leader until The Council became the supreme leader of the Isle of Lumen.  Regarded as a flawlessly beautiful Vampire with crimson-red locks, D'ardaigh remains to this day a famous role-model among Vampires.  Her intelligence is legendary, and though she was admittedly bitter about leaving her position, she is currently the main Vampire correspondent to the Council.
