Mangonel, A Family of Vampyres

Vampyre families rule the world beneath our noses. Their rule is a careful dance, a delicate balance of a million things. They influence governments, wars, revolutions. All to distract Humanity from their existence. In the mid 1700s, that balance was nearly destroyed. A worldwide Vampyric conspiracy reared its head, and threatened to destroy the Earth as we knew it. Among the Vampyre families of this turbulent era, none suffered, and ultimately triumphed, more than the Mangonels. A family of geniuses and idiots, warriors and diplomats, villains and heroes. Well, the "heroes" part is untrue. For there can be no heroes among monsters.
