Looking for some help finding information in PFRPG books. Are there any vampire intelligences on the Palladium world? Is there a region were they dominate or a book where they are mentioned?

I did a quick search through my books but couldn't find anything. Even just which book has it would help.

There's only one V.I. in PF, and that's the deity, Vald-Tegor. He actively works to make sure no other VI gets a hold anywhere. You can find more about him in the book Dragons & Gods.

For vampires in general, look in the Western Empire. That book details them (although not as well as a lot of us would like), and that's also the location they seem to have the biggest population (although, if memory serves, there's a few in Timiro).

Hrmm.. now I'm eyeballing finishing my updated Gersidi...

In Dragons & Gods, it does state: "Vampire Note: Erick and I plan on releasing a sourcebook specifically dedicated to the vampires of the Palladium World. That book will contain in-depth information about the undead and their activities. In the meanwhile, players may want to take a peek at Rifts® Vampire Kingdoms for some insights into these inhuman monsters."

I see they never have released said book, but I guess you could also check out Rifts Vampire Kingdoms for info...

Dragons and Gods, that's what I was looking for. I found some of the stuff in WE PDF but searching for the word "vampire" in a gaming book doesn't help much.

This god and his pantheon is what I was looking for I just couldn't remember which book it was in.

RIfts I know almost backward and forward at this point so I was already pulling from that but I wanted some flavor text for the scenario I am writing, religious texts about a heroic vampire god that can sucker some hapless players. PB has always had a problem releasing promised books but I have to imagine that this is one of the ones that fell out due to Erick's death.

Thanks both of you for the help.

Land of the Damned #2 has Vampires (ancient 2ndary) and assortment of (additional) undead types (not sure about LotD#1). Not sure if that will help or if it might have included aspects of what KS and EW where planning.

I see Vald-Tegor as managing the population of vampires somewhat like a game warden... he wants to be sure that there are enough predators in the preserve to keep the prey at reasonable levels, but also wants to be sure that there are not too many. So he creates new master vampires only when necessary, and is willing to punish those that try to overpopulate. Like Kirgi, he draws a lot of power from the prayers of those seeking his protection.

I see the game warden analogy as spot on. Because he's making sure nobody else (no other V.I.) is adding extra predators in, too.

Meanwhile, he's got the chimpanzees (humans, elves, dwarves) bringing him bananas (worship) to thank him for keeping vampires in check, while the vampires bring him steaks (more worship), thanking him for letting them exist and feed.

All things considered, the Palladium World could have had a LOT worse situation with the vampires. They lucked out with a smart vampire intelligence
