Difference between revisions of "Belladona (vampiress)"

'''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 the [[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]].  

During the Burning Times, she took the beseiged [[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.

Today, Belladona resides at the foot of the eastern [[Granite Hills]] through a shallow wooded valley in the [[Northern Plains]], past the fens and in her [[Belladona's Keep|Keep]]. She keeps within arm's reach [[Derryk]], the [[Eunuch]], as well as her four vampiric handmaidens - [[Ephesia]], [[Eritrea]], [[Malorea]], and [[Minoria]].

 

Belladona is also known as the Slut of the [[Underworld]], the Succubus, the Mistress of Darkness, and other such pleasant names.
