Lore questions how vampires created?

[Talvrae]

Like the question say, in the lore of V Rising is it addressed what the rules of vampires reproduction/creation are?

[aSmolGoth]

It's not directly addressed from what I can see from the lore. However, we are given a lot of context clues:

• Weakness to silver implies they are undead. No offspring from corpses, no so dhampirs. The reason the lore is vampires can't see themselves in mirrors is because mirrors are made with silver.

• Infusing blood with a human turns them into a servant/thrall. Not quite the same as the genuine article. I'd assume this is a much more concentrated version than the outcome below.

• From Dracula's first defeat, we see that his blood does give humans (and other creatures) powers, can corrupt, but not necessarily change them in very obvious ways.

• Vampires are seemingly truly immortal, not the often depicted ageless creature. They will eventually come back, even if it takes a lot of time to do so. We start the game as a vampire that was defeated ages ago.

Is this ever explicitly stated? - I thought we were one of a relative minority, forced into hiding / hibernation, cuz most of the other vampires got wiped out.

I would advise you to watch the opening cinematics. Solarus upon defeat also comments on this.

Tons of lore is disclosed between the cinematics, the v blood entries, boss dialogue at the start of a fight and upon their defeat.

Is there anywhere that the dialogue is written up? I play without sound and haven't found a way to get subtitles yet.
