Vampires in my setting are going to be hivelike, very insular people who’re culturally inspired by and resemble peoples like Tibetans, Nepalis and the like, with a caste based hierarchy. I am thinking they’re always born female, but as they grow up into one of the castes, their sex may change; warriors and higher advancements thereof grow into males. The castes include standard workers/builders that are female (which fulfil most non-caste based roles), warriors and guards which are male, and nobles (who are a mixture of males and females). Each hive or tribe is ruled by a ‘king’, and takes multiple ‘queens’ as his brides. Vampires typically live in remote areas and are very pastoralist.

Elves are short, mischievous though usually helpful folk that are inspired by Gypsies and Turks. They also resemble brownies and silkies, and are found most often in urban environments.
