Creatures of the night.

Beasts.
Monsters.
Ghouls.

Demons.
Bloodsuckers.

Vampires.
They have been called by many names, but vampire would be the correct term for the predators of the night, hematophagic beasts.

No one can remember anymore the world from before the disaster, and very few remember the moments after that, when Vampires came to be.

Even Vampires themselves can barely remember their own Ancestors, as time continues to blow past them and they erode away with the winds of time and change.

Thousands of years have passed since the world saw the dawn of the first vampires,
and most have forgotten.
Now creatures of the night and the hunters struggle to get along after centuries of war and blood spill, but some are striving for peace and harmony.

Bit of a pipe dream if you asked the youngest Kuran princess, but it was a nice dream nonetheless.
