Skilled middle class priests and merchants, aristocrats of fantastic breeding living in the city and attending every party, hookers, criminal bosses, and artists... all these and more have Lahmians masquerading as humans among their number.

	Lahmians prefer the undead that doesn't stink, like skeletons. While many are skilled swordswomen, they lean more on the Elf side of things with higher skill and speed rather than strength or toughness (of course being vampires they have those as well, and Lahmians by nature come from different backgrounds and have diverse sets of skills). Lahmians are also one of the two most magical Bloodlines, although rather than the mad science of the Necrarchs they lean towards the diverse and refined knowledge that only those who see every shipping charter before a vessel even sets sail can get. Most of all, Lahmians rely on guile and charisma (which in Warhammer Fantasy terms means Leadership and abilities that manipulate that of others) to get the job done. Lore accounts differ on how the Lahmians dress; while infiltrating other civilizations they obviously maintain the clothing and colors of the locals and their false identity, but within the [[Silver Pinnacle]] they are said to either remain entirely hidden wearing black clothing and heavy veils ([[Liber Necris]] or dressed the same as ancient Nehekharans while the skeletal undead are dressed fully in black to hide their nature ([[WFRP]] [[Night's Dark Masters]] 2e). In [[Total War: WARHAMMER]] the colors associated with the Silver Pinnacle are white, with yellow and midnight blue as secondary colors while metallic parts are of a brighter brass/bronze and iron for the skeletons. Traditional Army Book example army colors always portrayed the Bloodlines with the same colors, although fans commonly gave the Lahmians less "fresh blood with black" and more "burgandy with purple" colors.

	One of Neferata's favorite tricks is to turn a woman into a cat, get a merchant or a nobleman to take her in, then have her turn back into a woman and fuck his brains out like it's an [[/d/\|erotic manga]] so he'll establish her as his wife and thus put one more Lahmian spy in the world. As a result of Neferata's manipulations most of the [[Sisters of Sigmar\|nun]] organizations are now Lahmian vampires. The poets and playwrights of the world are often Lahmian vampires. Brothel owners are often Lahmian vampires. Upper class escorts are often Lahmian vampires. Noblewoman are often Lahmian vampires. [[Alpharius\|That gay guy who does your wife's hair is a Lahmian vampire.]] Your [[Genevieve Sandrine du Pointe du Lac Dieudonné\|wife]] is a Lahmian vampire. As long as you do what they say, everything will be alright. ''We'' promise.

			===Age of Sigmar===
			Seeing as Neferata was resurrected in the Mortal Realms, the Lahmian bloodline also makes a return. They are officially called the “Legion of Blood” but are functionally the same as before. Neferata was quick to restart her kingdom by creating the city of Nulahmia and weaving a web of spies and informants that spread all across the realm of death and beyond.

	The word '''Lahmian''' refers to a type of [[Vampire Counts]] from [[Warhammer Fantasy]]. It is derived from the word "Lamia", a female supernatural monster/vampire/demon who feeds on blood. This derives further from Greek mythology where Lamia (derived even further from the Greek word Laimos, or gut) was the queen of Libya and one of Zeus's lovers who met a tragic end. Since she had no children with Zeus to punish as she usually did, Hera instead killed all of Lamia's children. This horrible experience drove Lamia completely insane and turned her into a child eating snake monster that cannot sleep due to Hera completely removing that (Zeus however took pity on her and gave her the ability to pull out her eyeballs from the eye-sockets in order to sleep, not to mention developing shapeshifting powers in the process). Note that Lahmians are unrelated to [[Lamia]] in the traditional gaming context (preferring cats to snakes, although there are a few references connecting her to snakes as a nickname).
