- For vampires living in major metropolitan areas, there are many 'rules' that have to be followed to insure their survival and prevent exposure to the general public. The underground vampire society is set up in a certain way so as to keep the growing population a secret, and to keep them from getting out of balance with their food supply. Therefore, vampire Elders are put into positions to govern over all major areas where vampires are most concentrated. These rules are to be adhered to at ALL times. Failure to comply can result in immediate exile or worse...assassination. However, there are many 'cold zones' around the globe, where there is no Elder involvement whatsoever.

These areas are far from the bigger cities, usually maintaining a small nest of vampires here or there around the outskirts. Wooded areas, campgrounds, small towns, and the like, are big targets. In these 'cold zones', vampires are free to do pretty much whatever they want without fear of retaliation. No safeguard marks, no Elders, no hunters. It appeals to many rebellious vampires, looking to live their lives in darkness without the threat of being controlled or murdered for stepping out of line. Anyone entering a cold zone is fair game. Outside of Elder jurisdiction. And free to hunt and live and operate as they see fit.

But they are also removed from the benefits of Elder involvement as well. Sheltered habitats, food supply, and disposal of their 'slag', is now all their concern. If they're discovered...the townspeople will destroy the nest for sure.
