I know its tired, but I've been sitting on an idea for years. Watching True Blood and taking in the mainstreaming agenda and Sanguinista movement, and reading the news, I wonder what the world would really be like if vampires took over the world. I was thinking something like the Matrix meets Planet of the Apes:
It is Utopia. The world is a place of light and beauty. There is no poverty. No war. No prisons. No hospitals. No suffering. No desperation. Where evil is always vanquished and true love conquers all and all live happily ever after. There is no hunger, no disease, no impairment, no invalids, no deformity, no injustice, and death is silent and kind.
The Industrial Revolution never happened. The world capital is located on the Mississippi River Delta. The entire world and all its territories are under an imperialistic monarchial empire. The world language is slowly forming from the root languages of proto-English, proto-French and proto-Spanish. Provincially, the world is a feudal aristocracy heavily structured by seniority.
VAMPIRES:
All lands are owned by the vampires. All vampires hold sovereignty. They are the lords and the judges. All wealth and trade go through the lords. They hold religious authority. They are the messengers of The Ethereal God and represent his will on earth. They are angels of mercy, of justice, and ultimately Death. Beyond the cycle of Life and Death. Beautiful. Terrifying. Predatory. Hematophagous. Their blood is offered as holy sacrement and by them are the humans delivered to heaven.
WEREWOLVES:
All wolves serve a vampire lord. They defend the humans from foreign and domestic threats, ensure tranquility and enforce the lord's law. Courageous. Righteous. Benevelent. Respectful. Honest. Loyal. They worship the Savage Hunter and follow his code.
HUMANS:
A sustainable community indepenent of its neighbors. The producers of goods. They grow and harvest their own food and tend the flocks to feed the wolves. They mine the resources and craft the products. The commoners. The peasants. The workers. They serve the wolves and vampire lords. They worship the Goddess of Mortal Life and revere her bounties. Most humans are under glamor, blissfully oblivious of the horrors and agonies around them.
WITCHES: The religious leaders of the matrilineal human communities, a resistence movement among the human serfs. They spur the husbands to take up arms to slay the vampire lords and conquer the Undead God in the name of freedom and the Earth Goddess of Mortal Life.
