Dhampir

Dhampir are mysterious magical beings. Born to regular parents, dhampir are best described as biological vampires, having a slight sensitivity to sunlight, being pale skinned, and being able to absorb the lifeforce from other beings by drinking their blood. Called "Cursed Children" by society at large, it is unclear why they are born to certain parents, since there is no common link between any cases. More superstitious societies believe they are monsters sent to punish sinful parents, while others believe they are blessed children. The Empire officially has no policy on the race, though it is rumored many of them that are not killed or abandoned by their communities are taken in by Blood Hunter Orders.
