The Principal Sanguinity

Lore
The Principal Sanguinity is a sovereign state governed by an incredibly powerful clan of Vampires. They are often referred to as the "Family", though their blood ties are uncertain.

Social Values
Those who are citizens within the Sanguinity must pay a blood tax - one of their most universally controversial principles. There is no tax upon land, market, or a price for education or health, outside of the blood tax, and it is a land open to immigration. Many inhabitants feel strongly in support of this tax, as giving of body can be a much easier process than giving of wealth.

All dwelling in the Principal Sanguinity must have a welcome mat.

Rulership
The Avatar of Shezmu. (they/them). Their true name is beknownst to no one, though it is believed the current Avatar assumed leadership decades ago. They are an incredibly powerful blood mage, and the current Avatar is responsible for the successful maintenance of the Sanguinity's borders, and a generally happy and peaceful people. Few have approached them, but they are described to have a skin so dark it is difficult to determine the borders of where their body begins and ends, and those in their presence often feel such a presence of power that fear dissipates and one realizes a sensation almost like the calmness of death. Draped in stark red robery and the divine weaponry of Shezmu, their inherent strength seems infallible.

Shezmu
Shezmu is the Demigod, now known as the Blood God, that protected vampires and a number of other civilizations that lived under the patronage of the Ancient Vampires prior to the Flood. Shezmu does not reside on this plane, and it is unknown where they live, or any details about their personal life, powers, and deeds.
