Across myths and legends, the Blood Moon has long been linked with vampires. On nights when the Moon turns crimson, their powers reach terrifying heights. They hunger not only for blood but also for the magical essence the very source of life energy that flows through the living world. The Blood Moon strengthens this hunger, making them almost unstoppable.

Blood Moon and Artemis as the Vampire Queen
In this lore, Artemis, once worshipped as the goddess of the hunt and guardian of the Moon, abandoned her divine duty. She chose instead to rule as the Vampire Queen. No one becomes a vampire without her will. A human bitten before death enters a state of hibernation, appearing lifeless, until Artemis breathes life into them. This moment of rebirth binds them eternally to her dominion.
Hunger, Rituals, and Immortality: Vampires
Vampires must feed every full moon, or roughly every ten days, when their hunger grows uncontrollable. If Artemis delays revival after the bite, the soul risks starvation within three months. Unlike many depictions, these vampires can walk in daylight and see themselves in mirrors. Their hunger, however, never fades, and only the Blood Moon amplifies it.
Vampire and Their Powers During Blood Moon
Vampires gain unnatural speed, heightened strength, and healing abilities. When well-fed, they receive a magical boost, reflected in stronger spells and abilities. They can even shift forms naturally, much like wild creatures. Still, they are bound by a sacred rule once a month, they must return to sleep in the earth or coffin of their original burial site. Though immortal and unable to die, severe wounds can slow or stop them temporarily.
During a Blood Moon, vampires not only grow stronger but also become closer to Artemis. Legends say that on such nights, she gathers her children beneath the crimson glow, amplifying their powers and spreading fear among mortals. The Blood Moon is not just a celestial event it is a reminder of Artemis’s rule and the eternal hunger of her creations.
