Faction:

Noctramancers:
A cult, as old as the vampires and just as feared. Noctramancers are a silent group of humans who practice an old, forbidden form of magic. They live in a large manor on the very border of the city. The man was there long before the district was formed and was quickly taken over by the cult; it is a large dark brick house, with huge pillars outside the front entrance. Each window is a large oval with black metal framing them. Lights are never on in the manor, noise never comes from it's walls and no one is ever seen in the building. 

Vampires believe that the cult has died out; wiped out due to war. The Noctramancers and The Vampires have had been enemies for a long time, no one is really sure why anymore. Attempting to feed from a Noctramancers is harmful for Vampires, as the dark magic they practice taints their blood and turns it into a toxic black sludge. The manor is left to rot and crumble. No one wants to expose themselves to the magic that could remain inside it.

The members of this cult, were known for hiding their identities with large cloaks. Long, flowing cloaks which are embellished with embroidery. Symbols and wards sewn into the fabric using bright, rich coloured string. The cloaks show dominance and power in the cult; the more powerful you are in the magic, the more detailed your cloak is, the more colours are added. Red string is never used, as it is seen as a symbol of blood, the food of the cult's enemies. 

No one is really sure what their magic does, anymore. The Bloodline made sure the cult's history was burnt and that any members who were found, were destroyed. All hey know is; 1) The magic is not to be used under penalty of death, 2) There are likely no members left anyhow and no one thinks, they assure themselves, the members wouldn't dare show themselves in an area so heavily controlled by vampires.
