Lahmian

This article is a stub. You can help 1d4chan by expanding it

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. Since she had no children with Zeus to punish as she usually did, Hera instead killed all of Lamia's children. This drove Lamia insane and caused her to become a Snek monster that eats other women's children. Note that Lahmians are unrelated to Lamia in the traditional gaming context (preferring cats to snakes).

History

Queen Neferata was said to despise men. This led to her and her bloodline being very gynocentric. They are made up of a majority of women with very few male members, the latter never attaining a high rank, and despite their magic and supernatural abilities they control society (especially the men) from behind the scenes (sounds like they're a feminist's wet dream come true).
