Life as a Vampire
The curse of Molag Bal
Vampirism is not a blessing. Ancient vampires may be powerful and feared among the populace, but they start their unlife in a weakened state and must overcome hardships to attain the power they seek.
Molag Bal's presence gnawing at the sanity of every vampire is known as "the Beast", a primal force that possesses weakened vampires and drives them to ruin. It is important to stay well fed and healthy to avoid its temptations, lest you find yourself unable to heal or getting attacked by a mob of townsfolk.

There are four stages of thirst and you progress to the next stage after at least 24 hours without feeding, though occasionally you may be able to delay the onset of thirst by a few hours. The Vampire ability in your magic effects menu tells you how thirsty you are.
