Nosferium

Nosferium is a denomination of the Kin of the Blessed Bloodlines. Its followers, which are referred to as Nosfers, are people who have had their bloodlines blessed with Nosferina's blessing of Bats. They value charisma and dexterity, talking, wine, traditions, and blood.

Beliefs
Those who are blessed by Nosferina believe strongly in the mental prowess of individuals and using brains rather than brawn, with most being disgusted by war and other acts of violence.
