Darkness and Light
Vampires are the leaders of the dark realm. Initially, vampires are given strength and speed, immunity to sickness, super eyesight in the dark and the ability to fly. After their initialization they may be granted additional powers such as sleep spells, invisibility, the ability to transform, and the ability to turn humans into vampires.
However, with the powers of the vampires also comes new weaknesses. Sunlight makes vampires extremely weak; they lose their super strength and sometimes cannot even stand. Also blessed relics and weapons which would be harmless to humans can destroy vampires. When vampires are destroyed, they turn to dust within a few minutes.
A small international group of humans, known as "Hunters" have taken upon themselves the task of ridding the world of vampires and other dark forces. They have powerful relics, clerics, and warriors who are more than capable of matching a vampire in battle. However, most of the rest of the human world thinks they are crazy and that vampires dont exist, which is why the Hunters are so few in number.
That is also why vampires need to be wary. If the general populace discovered that vampires were real, and more joined the Hunters, it would mean big trouble for the vampires.
There are many portals between the dark realm and the human world. These are found mostly in graveyards, caves, or other places close to human habitations, but where humans don't normally venture at night.
It is also worth noting that most vampires are not "evil". It is just that they need human blood to survive. Most of the time, they try not to kill the humans they drain (helps them to remain discreet). Most prefer to sneak up on humans, put them to sleep or knock them unconcious, then suck their blood. When they wake up, they don't know what happened and all is well.
