Counsel of the Undead

The range of a Master Vampires domain is limited by how powerful they are. Some Master Vampires control entire cities, while others are strong enough to control entire countries. Each Master Vampire is responsible for all the activities of the Underworld in his domain. From lowly Ghouls robbing graves for fresh meat, to quashing rebellious Lesser Vampires with aspirations of greatness, each master Vampire controls his domain in their own particular style.

Not all Master Vampires are happy with how the Counsel rules. In order to join the Counsel, one of the Greater Vampires must be slain. One has not been removed for several centuries - leading the younger Vampires to think that the Counsel is backwards, set in their ways, and unwilling to take necessary chances. To strike out at a Greater Vampire means one thing to a Lesser Vampire, or a Master Vampire - Success or death. If they cannoy slay the Greater Vampire, they are themselves slain, and their territory taken over by another. This leads to very few Lesser or Master Vampires challenging one of the Counsel members.
