==Legions and Dynasties==
Replacing the bloodlines of old, vampires in AoS now belong to dynasties, which are principally a political organization or a court of vampires from numerous backgrounds/bloodlines that all swear fealty to a patriarch/matriarch that define’s that dynasty’s culture. Most vampires can trace their lineage to the Legions of Night and Blood, who are unquestionably the oldest and most powerful of vampiric factions. So large in fact, that multiple dynasties of vampires exist within the two legions.
*'''Legion of Night''': The old [[Von Carstein]] bloodline, led by (who else) Mannfred von Carstein. Arrogant glory-hogs who prefer to bog down enemies with waves of undead minions so the vampire commanders can swoop in for the killing blow. Originally specializing in terror tactics, when the Nighthaunt [[Meme|terk their jerbs]], Mannfred re-purposed them into the tactical Soulblight Legion. Fitting their master’s sneakier tactics, the Legion makes frequent use of Varghiests for ambushing enemies or running down the wounded and afraid.
*'''Legion of Blood''': The old [[Lahmian]] bloodline, led by (who else) Neferata. Cunning and alluring, they prefer the theatre of political intrigue and schemes, but are still very dangerous in combat thanks to their unnatural speed and grace. They also have a particular fondness for their Deathrattle minions, who in turn fight harder when under the gaze of their vampiric masters. They tend to mess with their opponents' heads.
There are some noteworthy dynasties that have come into prominence over the years and have gone on to expand their influence across the realms.
*'''Kastelai''': Essentially the descendants to the [[Abhorash|Blood Dragons]]. A knightly order of vampires loyal to Prince Vhordrai, they follow their banished prince out from their “Crimson Keep” to slaughter and butcher all in their path. They prioritize martial prowess above all else, even going as far as being willing to bargain the lives of an innocent village should they use some kind of weapon or fighting style that is new to them... though given these are long-lived vampires you can imagine such an outcome is quite rare.
*'''Avengorii''': Monstrous beast hunters from Ghur who are looked down upon by the other dynasties for their feral appearance and nature. They’re most famous for their draconic centaur lower halves, which was given to them after they exposed themselves to the full brunt of the Necroquake. The dynasty was once led by a brutal patriarch called Ghorvar, but he was usurped (gutted like a fish) by Lauka Vai, to which the rest of the dynasty had no qualms against. Roughly analogous to the Strigoi given their feral nature - the actual Strigoi broke off and [[Flesh-Eater Courts|started their own Death faction]] - and with a little bit of Blood Dragons thrown in, the Avengorii are still their own thing.
*'''Vyrkos''': A shamanistic like culture with ties to a lupine Godbeast as well as Nagash. This connection leads to the Vyrkos vampires developing [[Gangrel|animal like features and control over them too]], wolves being the most common of creature they tend to favor. Gameplay wise they have a pack mentality and reward playing like a bunch of wolves on the prowl.
*'''Tengorez:''' A Dynasty that doesn’t have any rules (yet). They’re seemingly based off of the [[Necrarch]]s, in that they’re described as withered masters of sorcery. They live in the crystal caves of [[Hysh]], coming out to swipe magical war engines to turn into their own necromantic constructs.
