+'''Belladona, Queen of Vampires,''' is the self-styled queen of the [[undead]] vampire race. Around the [[Burning Times]] and for some time thereafter, she reigned as a [[human]] countess of [[Ashtan]]. Her quest for immortality was ongoing; she even went so far as to journey to the Vampire Lord, [[Zsarachnor]], who raped her in turn. Aside from magnifying her already-ill will toward men, it was by this event that she became pregnant with Lord [[Luxsyth]], the self-styled founder of the [[The Occultists|Occultists]] [[Guild]].

-== The Discurean Outriders ==
+During the Burning Times, she took the beseiged [[Danaeus]] and other [[occultist|occultists]] under her wing and convinced them to abandon their [[Occultism]] in favour of [[Necromancy]], using them as pawns in her pursuit of immortality. Though still leery due to the recent [[Shakira Effect]], they eventually hit upon the Soulcage Experiment but would not let Belladona use them as guinea pigs. Frustrated, she performed the experiment upon herself, which backfired and turned her into an undead vampiress. She swore her allegiance to [[Twilight]] and went on a rampage, taking the lives of many occultists in an orgy of blood before finally being driven out of Ashtan.
-The city of Cyrene has long since grown beyond its isolationist foundations,
+Today, Belladona resides in a [[Belladona's Keep|keep]] at the foot of the eastern [[Granite Hills]] through a shallow wooded valley in the [[Northern Plains]]. She keeps within arm's reach [[Derryk]], the [[Eunuch]], as well as her four vampiric handmaidens - [[Ephesia]], [[Eritrea]], [[Malorea]], and [[Minoria]].
-and since its rediscovery has faced an increasing obligation to embrace her
-position on the world stage. Rising in response to this need is the House of
-the Discurean Outriders: worldly travellers, historians, and pursuers of
-knowledge.
-Educated and adventuresome, each Outrider is both an academic and an explorer,
+Belladona is also known as the Slut of the [[Underworld]], the Succubus, the Mistress of Darkness, and other such pleasant monikers. Her penmanship and capricious nature are captured in the ''Belladona'' card of the [[mystical cards$belladona|Deck of Legends]].
-seeking answers to the questions of life from the abstract to the concrete.
-Many are widely travelled and strive to understand the different cultures of
-the world, and they are welcomed by many distant communities as traders of both
-goods and knowledge. They are inquisitive and well-read, looking critically at
-the past and applying its lessons to all aspects of life.
