The Blood of Dawnwalker takes place in 14th-century Europe during war and the Black Death. Vampires use the collapse of human order to emerge from hiding and seize power. In Vale Sangora, the vampire lord Brencis rules with his vrakhiri clique.
The game uses a fictional version of 14th-century Europe during the Black Death. Its main region, Vale Sangora, lies deep in the Carpathian Mountains. Vale Sangora is fictional; it should not be presented as a real medieval polity.
