"Recent converts often underestimate vampires, believing them to be something like intelligent predators. Allow me to warn you against this misconception: better by far to avoid vampires as if they were the bubonic plague. Vampires are not only merely intelligent, but highly-educated, shrewd, and more than capable of controlling their lust for blood. On top of this, vampires are often superior to necromancers in regard to the powers of darkness." (From "Necarium Tomeus" by Necromaster Barbaross the Deceased)
