Gender Roles & Sexuality

Gender Roles

• Vampire society in Warhammer Fantasy is hierarchical and patriarchal/matriarchal depending on the bloodline and region. Power is concentrated in individuals with great age, magical ability, and influence.
• Nobility and Bloodlines: Male and female vampires alike can rise to prominence, with age, cunning, and magical skill determining status. Female vampires often wield power equal to or exceeding males, particularly in noble houses.
• Servants and Thralls: Vampires dominate humans, other creatures, and lesser undead as servants or soldiers. Gender hierarchy among thralls reflects vampire preference rather than societal norms.
• Vampire society values intelligence, ruthlessness, and charisma over gender; both males and females can be rulers, generals, or sorcerers.

Sexuality

• Vampires are highly sexualized beings, with sexuality often entwined with predation, power, and seduction. Erotic attraction is closely tied to **bloodlust and control**.
• Courtship and Seduction: Vampires may seduce mortals or other races to feed, dominate, or manipulate. Both male and female vampires use allure and eroticism strategically.
• Sexuality is intertwined with immortality, desire, and danger, creating a blend of eroticism and fear.

Attitudes toward Other Races (Sexualized)

• Vampires often sexualize other races as **predation, temptation, or dominance**, with erotic fascination tied to allure, danger, and exoticism:
• Humans: Mortals are the primary objects of sexualized predation. Vampires use seduction, charm, and erotic power to feed, manipulate, or dominate humans.
• Elves: Female elves are admired for beauty and grace; sexualized attraction is present but complicated by pride, skill, or magic. Male elves may be viewed as rivals or potential thralls.
• Dwarfs: Rarely sexualized due to aesthetics and temperament; male dwarfs are potential targets for domination, female dwarfs occasionally appear in rare eroticized fantasies.
• Greenskins: Orcs and goblins are rarely sexualized; interactions focus on feeding, manipulation, or dominance.
• Sexual attraction often intersects with **bloodlust, magical influence, and power dynamics**, making erotic encounters dangerous and manipulative.

Notable Cultural Nuances

• Vampire society is hierarchical, cunning, and power-driven, with gender secondary to age, magical ability, and influence.
• Sexuality is fluid, strategic, and intertwined with dominance, seduction, and predation.
• Attraction to other races is heavily filtered through danger, exoticism, and manipulation rather than mutual desire.
• Female vampires often wield enormous sexual and political power, particularly in aristocratic bloodlines, reflecting both allure and ruthlessness.
