What is Aeternum in Vampires vs. Werewolves?

Aeternum is the dark-fantasy world where Vampires vs. Werewolves takes place. It is defined by the Eternal War — a 3,000-year conflict between the vampire houses of the Crimson Court and the werewolf clans of the Iron Pack — that began with the First Bite in Year 0.

When does the lore timeline begin and end?

The interactive timeline spans from Year 0, when the warlord Malachar became the first vampire, to Year 3000, the present night in which your character enters the world as the Blood Moon Crystal nears its hundredth convergence.

What are the major eras of the Eternal War?

The key eras are the Foundation (First Bite and Moon Pact), the Great Schism, the Iron Treaty, the Blood Moon Prophecy, the Eclipse War, the Silence of Gods, and the Present. Each era can be unfolded on the timeline to read its full story.

Which factions and clans appear in the clan tree?

The clan tree maps three power blocs: the vampire Crimson Court (Houses Malachar, Cassivara, Voryn, Dusk, and Nightmoor), the werewolf Iron Pack (Five Peaks, Storm Plains, Ashwood, and Deep Wilds), and the neutral Shadow Covenant alongside the Moonborn exiles.

What is the Blood Moon Prophecy?

Spoken by the blind Oracle of the Crimson Marsh in Year 1500, the Blood Moon Prophecy declares that when the moon runs red for the hundredth time, one race will kneel and one will burn. Both factions believe they are the one who burns the other, and it drives the coming seventh war.
