In July of the year 2000. Several agents submitted a report on vampire activities. According to this report, vampires from around the globe had began to gather in the “Helea” region to the north of Edonia, the capital city of the Republic of Eslania. Even the twelve clan Masters had began gathering in this region, an unprecedented move in the history of vampires. Conflicts between clans escalated, and the Vatican sensed a new danger looming.
Civilian casualties reached a serious level as the civil war of the vampires spread throughout Eslania. The Eslanian government hastily deployed armed forces, but they were no match for the power of the vampires, and were vastly outnumbered. Many Eslanian soldiers fell and became blood slaves under the control of the vampires. In order to minimize the number of casualties, the Eslanian forces focused on evacuating the citizens, and, under strict confidentiality, handed the operation over to E.V.E., a counter-vampire task force.
The biggest accomplishment of E.V.E. was the capture of a vampire POW during the first Counter-Vampire War. They interrogated the vampire and soon made a shocking discovery about the purpose of the clans’ gathering and the reason behind the vampire civil war. The mysterious vampric bible called the “Blood Bible”, was mentioned in great detail. The executives gathered at the Vatican and ordered E.V.E. to seek out and destroy the Blood Bible while maintaining the war.
