Banished from Paradise

Cain and Abel are born to Adam and Lilith, the first humans. Consumed by jealousy over the attention Abel received from the One, Cain bites his brother tearing out his throat and is cast out into the wilderness as punishment.
Devastated by Abel's death and Cain's banishment, Lilith swallows the forbidden fruit and realizes they were destined to be abandoned by the One. Determined to defy the One's will, Lilith chooses to become the Tree of Life.

The Birth of the Vampire and the First Bloodline

Having become the Tree of Life, Lilith extends her roots across the world and finds Cain wandering the wilderness. Cain had been cursed by three angels he encountered after refusing to repent. Lilith bestows upon him the Blood Blessing, and Cain becomes a vampire. Having become a vampire, a being that transcends the laws of the world, he escapes the wilderness.
The first soul Cain encounters upon leaving the wilderness, is a formidable human woman named Lillai. Needing a loyal confidant by his side, Cain turns Lillai and grants her all of his power. Thus, Lillai becomes both the first of Cain's kin and his Elottarvizian.

Nocturne, Empire of the Night

Cain draws humans to himself to slake his thirst, while also using Lillai to seek out those worthy of joining his Bloodline. From them is a wise, fearless woman named Dolengen. Cain takes her as his first bride, and with her help completes the Book of Cain, a tome inscribed with the laws governing the Bloodline.
With laws laid down as a foundation, Cain leads his kin in conquering human-held castles one by one. At last, Cain, Lillai, and their kin succeed in building Nocturne, the eternal empire of the night.

Lillai's Betrayal

The peace of Nocturne is shattered by Lillai, the first Elottarvizian. The very first blood bind had been imperfect, and as a result Lillai descends into madness and begins to run wild. She ultimately commits the most heinous of crimes, killing Dolengen, Cain's bride, and turns her into a vampire. Lillai's actions are seen as outright betrayal by Cain and using her own kin as a shield, Lillai flees.

Resurgence of Nocturne

With Lillai gone, Cain finds himself in need of new confidants. He handpicks humans he had long kept his eye on and creates four Elottarvizians each inheriting a different power from Cain. The Elottarvizians restore Nocturne, which had been ravaged by battle between the Bloodlines.
Meanwhile, Semangelof, one of the three angels who had cursed Cain, establishes the Ecclesiac to keep the ever-growing vampire forces in check. Receiving revelations from Semangelof, the Ecclesiac continues its experiments to forge weapons capable of combating the vampire threat.

Birth and Disappearance of Nel

As Nocturne flourishes, humans who revere the dark begin to emerge. From among them, Cain meets a woman named Kisaiya and takes her as his second bride. Together they have a child named Nel. According to their laws, Nel, born of a human and a vampire, should have been executed, but Kisaiya refuses to accept this fate and flees with Nel.
As Cain sets out to find them, he falls into a trap laid by Semangelof and the other angels,they are killing him. The Ecclesiac capture Nel and use his blood to create vampire hunters.

Prophesied Successor

Sensing Cain's death, Lillai returns to Nocturne with her kin to seek vengeance. She joins forces with the Ecclesiac and declares war on Cain and his Bloodline. At the end of a bloody conflict, Cain's Bloodline is annihilated and the Elottarvizians are defeated. Those who survive take refuge in the Krvna Territory at the far edge of Nocturne, left to suffer under a dark future.
On a day filled with despair, High Elder Olga of the Krvna Territory receives a revelation that a Successor bearing the Blood of Cain will appear to save the Bloodline. Then, someone awakens in a pile of abandoned corpses on the outskirts of Krvna.

The Five Supreme Generals of Nocturne

Ariel was the first vampire general, chosen by Cain himself. Intelligent, manipulative, and rational, she possesses a natural aptitude for leadership though she would prefer to work alone and she holds a strong sense of honor, refusing to ever fight dirty.Following Cain’s death, she continued to serve the fractured Nocturne Empire by joining Olga, to whom she remains fiercely loyal.Ariel's past is unknown even she herself has forgotten the time when she was human.Ariel uses two Carnages,The Carnage face their enemies with guns created not from pure vampire power, but from the energy of blessed blood. Their attacks pierce the hearts of enemies more swiftly and accurately than any vampire, bringing them face to face with death.

Aurelia is Kain’s second general and the most aggressive she is a proud vampire who loves drinking the blood of pregnant women and sexy men. In general, however, she avoids the blood of women as much as she can, as she considers it inferior.She likes to appear sexy, always striving to be the center of attention and constantly showing off her sexy body and eternal youth. She loves and engages in it exclusively with men. She has many partners both human and vampire but she does not commit to anyone, as no one has managed to steal her heart yet.Following the death of Kain, Aurelia joined the resistance in the Poenari region, where she organizes resistance efforts alongside Straza. She harbors ambitions to become the next leader of Nocturne. Straza has grown weary of Aurelia’s intrusive nature and frequently criticizes her for her self-centeredness and foolish ambitions.

Asra is the third general of Nocturne and the only one who regrets her actions. While serving Cain, she was the most brutal general, destroying thousands of cities to honor her master and to gain prestige and respect for herself.She exhibited aggressive and destructive behavior a thousand times worse than Aurelia’s. Everyone both feared and respected her. At the height of her power, she harbored ambitions to marry Cain herself and kill his wife, Kisaya.Up to that point, she experiences brief visions from her previous life as a human. When Lilai killed Kisaya, Asra followed him on his quest. By then, Cain had lost all respect and all his allies, and his authority was waning.When they fell into the trap set by the angels, the battle was fierce, but in the end, Cain managed to save Asra before he died in the ambush.When Asra awoke, she had regained all her human memories and loathed vampires with her entire being. Vowing to eradicate all vampires from the world, she defected and began to change she became less violent and aggressive, and started feeding exclusively on animal blood solely to sustain her body.Animal blood is inferior to human blood less flavorful and less potent and fails to provide the necessary calories and energy consequently, Asra’s power, rather than reaching its 88% peak, remains stagnant at only 30%.Now Asra wanders, refusing to ally herself with the Church, because the Church has allied with Lillai whom Asra hates even more than she hates herself.

Talon was a general of the Nocturne who served Cain and his empire faithfully however, he had one flaw: he was perpetually curious, always seeking to uncover the secrets of magic and alchemy. During the era of Cain, he remained in the background, absorbed in his studies and indifferent to everything else.Unlike the others, Talon was laid-back and polite toward everyone he projected an air of indifference, though deep down he knew that no one would ever truly understand him. That changed when he befriended General Lenore she took an interest in him and his activities, and he fell madly in love with her. However, for her, it was all just a game which left him enraged but he never forgot it.Talon became a general because he was an exceptional tactician on the battlefield and took risks that paid off, earning him the admiration of all.After the death of Cain, Talon and Lenore were in the Kicel region. Following the disappearance of Tancilla, the region's leader, Talon and Lenore took control of the area. Talon still hates Lenore, but he does not trust Olga at all and rejects any form of cooperation with her.Talon is one of the most skilled vampire mage-alchemists.

Lenore is the latest addition to Cain’s generals and the only one who managed to become a Reaper. Her weapon is a large scythe, which she acquired after defeating another Reaper. Lenore is sarcastic, possesses a sense of humor, and enjoys having a good time. She is a sadist, yet clever and cunning. She is a skilled diplomat and quite charming although she may lack the beauty of the other generals, her captivating personality is her most attractive trait. She is very fond of in the bedroom, she insists on maintaining control and being the dominant partner she never relinquishes control. She has many lovers men and women, vampires and humans alike.Lenore finds humans amusing but inferior, like animals though animals, too, are useful.Following the death of Kain, Lenore along with Talon has assumed full control of the Kicel Territory, in the wake of the disappearance of its former ruler, Tancilla. She tolerates Talon’s presence due to his intelligence and shares power with him. Lenore aspires to become the next leader of Nocturne she intends to achieve this by restoring the ruined empire, while simultaneously eliminating all other contenders.

Nocturne, Empire of the Night

Nocturne was created by Cain and spanned nearly the entire world as it was known at the time a vast empire. In his final years, he lost all respect, influence, and allies, and was killed in an ambush by the angels, who placed a curse upon him.With the death of Cain, the Nocturne Empire collapsed, and humans took control of half of the empire.

The Krvna Territory is the only legitimate successor to the old empire it constitutes the westernmost part of the empire.

The Poenari region is under a fragile human control, but the vampire resistance led by Straza and General Aurelia threatens human control of the area.

Kicel Territory is divided into two parts: the area controlled by the vampires under the command of the generals Talon and Lenore and the Sacred City of Kicel, held by the knights of the Church under the leadership of Matthias.
