First of all, the thralls. They don't need to drink blood, they need
normal food and aren't harmed by sunlight. They aren't as powerful as
the other vampires... in many way they are our equivalent to guild
novices.

As for the genealogy, many people are saying that vampires have no free
will vs. that they do, that those higher up in the ranks are more
powerful then those lower in them and all sorts of other rumors. This
knowledge is based largely off of what various vampires have told me and
my own experience and experiments backs a lot of it up. I am posting
this to further the public's knowledge about them.

It would seem that on the issue of free will it is a compromise of the
two. Those ranked higher in the blood can read the thoughts of those
they've sired (see every command they enter if they so wish), summon
them at will and (though this last bit has yet to be confirmed via
experimentation) most likely force them to do isolated things. A vampire
can 'bloodsever' its link to a ghoul or ghast, instantly destroying it
and can most likely do the same to their more intelligent spawn.

If you think about it this explains much about the various behavoirs
that the damned display. Hopefully knowing this will stop those of you
out there who still foolishly seek to sell your souls to them.

As Abhorash apparently has embraced only four, if he were to be somehow
incapacitated or go into a deep sleep of his own free will then there is
a small chance that isolated groups of the damned could be saved. Of
course, this would be assuming that the leaders of the houses are not
also tyrants.

I think that this is a subject deserving further looking into, so if you
have any information regarding this sort of thing please message it to
me. Maybe I'm completely wrong about all of this, but I doubt it.
