Hallowbane SMP is a storytelling work inspired by Vampires SMP, created by POW Creations. Hallowbane SMP follows the lives and trials of sixteen people, two of them being secret vampires hiding among them, as fate drags them to the ruins of Sunspire, the town where supposedly the first Human-Vampire war started and where all holy tomes were created.

The Human's goal is to survive and/or eradicate the vampire threat that’s tormenting them with the aid of the holy tomes from the Holy Spirits. One human in particular has the goal to find the “Requiem of Hallowbane”, a tome supposedly able to break the barrier trapping all inside Sunspire.

The Vampire's goal is to either kill all the humans or turned them into one of their kind and escape the cursed town. Peaceful resolutions are an option, however, the humans won’t accept them if not all of them. Aiding the search of the ‘vile’ tome is also critical to the vampires’ survival.

With time against them and tensions rising, will those who believe in cooperation survive and last, or will those who believe in vengeance and anger drag them down with them to their graves?

Hi, Nova here! So... more about the series. It will be quite... a lot different than your standard POW Creations' Vampires SMP. For one, there will be some tome abilities at Sunspire that are far more powerful than the standard tomes of Oakhurst and will be more focused on Vampire-Eradication abilities, with the downfall that only one ability can exist at the same time and has a 24 hours cooldown with a single use. This does not mean that some of the canon time abilities will be replaced but likely won’t make much of an appearance on the long run. Second, among those tome abilities is the infamous "Ballad of Hallowbane", a tome in which holds the only way to escape Sunspire without the need of eradicating one side completely. And that's about it, something new might pop out and I will likely not add it here, so don't expect changes here.

Note: The first sixteen works will be focusing on the characters and their backgrounds/goals and after that, a full chapter by chapter work detailing their lives and trials after getting trapped in Sunspire. I might add individual works or a full-chapter work detailing the aftermath and the lives of the surviving characters.

And that's it, enjoy!
