By sheer chance, I was out of my cell for feeding when an emergency called the great majority of the clan away. I was able to sneak past those few sentries that remained and escape. Please, %PCName, I beg you, don't tell anyone about this. Those monsters will find me, and they'll bring me back! It's too traumatic to even consider.

Well, if you know this much I suppose I'd better tell you the rest, so you don't think I'm consorting with the monsters. Before I came to Tel Ouada, I spent a large part of my adult life among a vampire clan. Not as a vampire myself, mind you, but as cattle. Several times a week I'd be fed upon by a member of the clan. I tried to fight it at first, but the vampires were too powerful, lulling the cattle into a magical complacency.

What do you know about porphyric hemophilia, %PCName? Can you help me protect myself against it?

Porphyric hemophilia is the precursor to vampirism. If infected by a vampire's attack, a person will begin changing, and if the disease is not cured within three days, he or she will become a vampire. Porphyric hemophilia can be cured just like any common disease, but vampirism has no known cure, other than destroying the vampires.
