==History==
−
In the years following the fall of Lahmia, Neferata surrounded herself with a group of vampiric servants who, despite being vicious and savage warriors and competent necromancers, showed their true strengths in the areas of seduction, infiltration, intelligence gathering and manipulation. Their time in [[Mourkain]] allowed them to hone these skills to supernatural levels and by the time the vampire queen took the mountain fortress of the [[Silver Pinnacle]] from the Dwarfs and made it her own, these vampires and becomes true masters of their arts.
+
After the death of her brother and husband king [[Lamashizzar]] in -1597 [[IC]], Neferata had orphan girls raised as priestesses in a new temple to [[Asaph]] in ancient Lahmia, trained to serve Neferata as the living avatar of the goddess. They wore golden masks of the goddess, modelled on the queens face and robes of samite. Each initiate surrendered a small portion of blood every night which Neferata ritually drank three times a day, the priestess presenting it with the words: ''For you, holy one. An offer of love, and life eternal.'' {{Fn|10a}}
  
−
Having long ago decided that directly ruling the lands of the living was impossible for the dead, Neferata instead decided that ruling from the shadows and being the power behind the throne was even better. She took the most beautiful, seductive, intelligent and manipulative of her servants and sent this sisterhood out across the lands of men, inserting them into every facet of society. From [[Imperial]] generals to [[Bretonnian]] [[Grail Knight]]s, from [[Kislevite]] [[Boyar]]s to [[Arabyan]] Caliphs, behind almost every man of power stood a pale and beautiful wife, courtesan, mistress or other significant figure.
+
A great temple had been converted from the women's palace and {{Fn|10a}} they used a version of the [[Elixir of Life]] which they called the ''Asaph's Kiss''. {{Fn|11b}} The Temple of Blood became a fortress within the palace, guarded day and night by members of the Queen's lifguard but there were many ways to enter or leave unseen. {{Fn|11b}} The priestesses had little or no self-determination or will but were absolutely loyal to Neferata. {{Fn|11c}}
  
−
Neferata had learnt that one did not have to be a ruler to rule. Instead her web gave her influence unparalleled and for centuries she became the secret queen of an unseen empire.

The Lahmian Sisterhood is a cabal of vampires under the rule of Neferata, former queen of Lahmia.Needs Citation

History

After the death of her brother and husband king Lamashizzar in -1597 IC, Neferata had orphan girls raised as priestesses in a new temple to Asaph in ancient Lahmia, trained to serve Neferata as the living avatar of the goddess. They wore golden masks of the goddess, modelled on the queens face and robes of samite. Each initiate surrendered a small portion of blood every night which Neferata ritually drank three times a day, the priestess presenting it with the words: For you, holy one. An offer of love, and life eternal. [10a]

A great temple had been converted from the women's palace and [10a] they used a version of the Elixir of Life which they called the Asaph's Kiss. [11b] The Temple of Blood became a fortress within the palace, guarded day and night by members of the Queen's lifguard but there were many ways to enter or leave unseen. [11b] The priestesses had little or no self-determination or will but were absolutely loyal to Neferata. [11c]

In the years following the fall of Lahmia, Neferata surrounded herself with a group of vampiric servants who, despite being vicious and savage warriors and competent necromancers, showed their true strengths in the areas of seduction, infiltration, intelligence gathering and manipulation. Their time in Mourkain allowed them to hone these skills to supernatural levels and by the time the vampire queen took the mountain fortress of the Silver Pinnacle from the Dwarfs and made it her own, these vampires and becomes true masters of their arts.Needs Citation

Having long ago decided that directly ruling the lands of the living was impossible for the dead, Neferata instead decided that ruling from the shadows and being the power behind the throne was even better. She took the most beautiful, seductive, intelligent and manipulative of her servants and sent this sisterhood out across the lands of men, inserting them into every facet of society. From Imperial generals to Bretonnian Grail Knights, from Kislevite Boyars to Arabyan Caliphs, behind almost every man of power stood a pale and beautiful wife, courtesan, mistress or other significant figure. [9a]

Neferata had learnt that one did not have to be a ruler to rule. Instead her web gave her influence unparalleled and for centuries she became the secret queen of an unseen empire.[9a]

Quotes

We are tools, Neferata. You call us sisters, but we are but pieces on your game-board. You collect us and hoard us, and sometimes you spend us. Sometimes you spend us for ambition. Other times, it is for spite.

And we love you for it, because we cannot help but to do so. You unmake us as easily as Nagash's crown threatened to unmake you, and remake us in your image. ~ Naaima to Neferata on the Sisterhood.[1]
