Vampire Houses in Blade (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In the Blade universe, vampires are grouped into clans called Vampire houses. Whereas the films each feature only a single house - though one is subdivided into twelve tribes -, the TV series refers to twelve houses, of which five are explicitly mentioned. The House of Chthon is the focus of the series and first appears in the pilot. One of the most powerful vampire houses, the Chthonians are elitists who consider themselves the leaders of the Vampire Nation, though this position is not universally accepted and especially challenged by the Armayans. The house was founded by Lord Chthon, and his sword became their sacred relic. The House of Chthon has a violent history, and many of their purebloods were slain in a past war against the House of Erebus.
