The Strigoi

The Strigoi are several covens made up of former witches-turned vampires, mainly based in various parts of Romania, devoted to trying to keep the peace between vampires and witches alike as the two species are often butting heads with one another. When a witch is turned into a vampire, they can no longer practise magic as one can't be both a witch and a vampire at the same time.

For the most part, the Strigoi are no different from your typical vampire, the only differences being that the Strigoi are often drawn to one another, often have a deep respect for nature and crave the blood of hereditary witches more than regular human blood. While most vampires have no issues with Strigoi, witches will more often than not shun Strigoi, seeing them as "abominations" and "warriors of darkness".
