" The blood was the way to life,
But it's our children who will now be our future..."
- King Alistair Svania, Founder of the first Vladimir Academy (1643)

Alistair Svania
The Seventh and Last King of Transylvania
(1643)

A portrait of the great-great-great-great grandson of Count Vladimir after the week of when the academy was opened.

His parents, who were humans, died in the hands of their neighboring country. He continued to rule Transylvania as the new King and married a beautiful young woman named, Diana Monèt, who was half-French and half-Romanian. They both brought safety to their people until one day when a group of men who shape-shifted into wolves attacked the villagers. That late afternoon a familiar face showed up and claimed to be Count Vladimir Dracula, the second King of Transylvania.

That was the day when the Battle of the Blood Moon has started.

Many lives were lost and only a couple of had families survived.

In the middle of the battle, Alistair had asked his great-great-great-great grandfather to give him the power Count Vladimir holds.
Out of fear for his descendant, the former King did not give Alistair what he wanted and needed. Even if it was for the people.

It took two days for the battle to end and it resulted to the sacrifice of Count Vladimir Dracula.

Before his passing, he had given Queen Diana a medium-sized vessel with his blood in it, and had told her to only give it to Alistair when his time would end.

With the blood of Count Vladimir Dracula, a new line of Vampires were born.

Many years later, the King of Transylvania decided to built a school for the children and their children and so forth to teach them on how to control their thirst and live in peace with the humans and other supernatural creatures in the world.

With the Royal and High Bloods, Alistair and his wife built a school in the middle of the 1600's and named it after the High King in memory of him.

" We only live once, but the High King gave us his blood to live on for the lives that were taken away from the battle. This time we will fight back and when we do, we will win. "
- Queen Diana Monèt-Svania, Founder of the first Vladimir Academy (1643)

Diana Monèt-Svania
The Seventh and Last Queen of Transylvania
(1638)

A portrait of Transylvania's Queen, the wife of Alistair Svania, who was the King of Transylvania before the Battle of the Blood Moon.

Diana was an orphan just like Alistair, but unlike her husband, she didn't know who her parents were. She was then adopted by a middle-aged woman who found her out in the cold in the outskirts of the kingdom. At the age of 20 when Alistair's parents mysteriously died. She had met the young, handsome Prince in the woods. The two became good friends and a few months later, the Prince of Transylvania courted her and the two got married a month after.

They soon were crowned as the new King and Queen of Transylvania and brought safety and peace to the kingdom for a couple of years until the Battle of the Blood Moon started.

Diana was known to be a kind-hearted, beautiful and smart Queen to her people. Since she grew up outside the palace, she knew the needs and wants of the villagers and with her generosity, the people adored and cherished her.

While Alistair did his King duties in the palace with the Royal Court, Diana did her Queen duties outside with their people.

Even after the loss of their kingdom and the death of the High King, Diana stayed by her husband's side and gave him three, healthy and beautiful children.

Their children soon became the foundation of the academy and gave hope to the High and Low Bloods.

Diana died during the Battle of the New Moon.
