Blood of the Vampyr- those who take the blood gain a number of abilities. The first is Regeneration 1-10 depending on the strength of the blood they ingest. They also gain virtually immortality, and no longer age as normal. Vampyr become highly alluring to members of the opposite sex, gaining a +3 bonus to diplomacy. They become more intimidating to members of the same sex, gaining a +3 bonus to intimidate. Vampyr also possess heightened senses, gaining a +5 bonus to Perception checks.
These abilities come at a price, however. Whenever a vampyr takes the blood, either initially or to increase their strength, they must make a Will save or become one of the consumed. This save has a DC equal to 15 + the rating of the blood they ingest.

History
In the days when gods walked the land the forest now known as the Blood Wood was a land of peace and tranquility where the legendary Vithi spread life and healing.
One day a terrible battle erupted in the skies over the forest. The Daughter of Night battled the three golden sisters. The struggle lasted six days and seven nights, but in the end the last surviving golden sister impaled the Daughter of Night through the chest with the fabled Heartwood Spear.
The goddess plummetted from the skies, hitting the earth with such force that she created a deep crater. Over the centuries the forest covered her body, but it was not the only thing to take root in the corpse of the goddess.
The Heartwood Spear was a living weapon. It put down roots into the very heart of the goddess, drinking of her blood for sustanence. As the years passed the spear grew into a mighty redwood that towered thousands of feet into the air.
The spear was intelligent and as it transformed into the Tree of Blood it grew still more so. The Tree had millenia to learn, watch and grow. Unfortunately the blood of the godess twisted it into a dark, malevolent force intent on spreading it’s influence across the world.
It did this by planting seeds in other living being. Each seed contained a tiny fraction of its power, complete with a drop of blood from the dead goddess. The seeds imbued their bearers with an insatiable hunger, forcing them to feed on blood. Once each consumed was sated they journed back to the tree to give it the blood they’d taken, allowing it to grow still mightier.
