Every week we learn more about the ancient kingdom of Kesteva. This week, it’s vampires. Once again, our tireless, pitiful research team has translated and assembled another entry in the sprawling Kestevan Chronicle. This entry, from Year 33, deals with a merchant’s brief account of a vampire visiting her residence in the dead of night. You can read the full entry on our Cyclopedia & the Kestevan Chronicle page.
Scholarship note: Brief as it is, the entry has us hoping to find a diary from the merchant, or some other elaboration on the undead visit she describes. Pity us in our endeavor.
