Elder *(general, Sanguinarius, Sanguinarium)

1. (OSV and Sanguinarium) A prominent member of the vampire community who is honored and respected for their experience, accomplishments and devotion. Elders are often those individuals who have helped establish a community, organize courts or havens, or coordinate the networking of the community. Most elders are responsible and levelheaded, but some have been slightly unbalanced by personal problems with their condition. These Elders have a hard time maintaining their Dayside existence. Other Elders are confident enough to be totally out of the coffin and try to educate the mundane public about our condition. See also the Eclipsan term Vran.
2. (Sanguinarius) A prominent member of the vampiric community who is honored and respected for his or her experience, knowledge, willingness to help others, accomplishments and devotion. Elders are often those individuals who have helped establish a community, organize groups, or help network the community.

Elorath*(formal, Sanguinarium)

According to the OSV, this is the great vampiric essence and the vampiric astral spirits, called by the Temple of the Vampire the Undead Gods. This is one of the inner teachings of OSV. Some say this term evolved from the word "el-or-ath", which is the Atlantian term for a vampiric spirit. However, this is unlikely. Most people accept that it was simply made up by the Sanguinarium. Within the Sanguinarium this is a term referring to the phenomenon of the allure of people being drawn together to live the vampire lifestyle. It is expressed through vampires seeking out others like themselves and forming the "vampire scene". Since the birth of the Internet and the success of Anne Rice and Vampire: the Masquerade, people have identified themselves with this lifestyle. Unfortunately, this causes many posers and foolish mundanes who fool themselves into thinking they wish to be what they think a vampire is. These people have in the past been preyed upon by less than honorable members of the community.

Elorathian*(formal, Sanguinarium)

This is a term for the vampire language, which is only taught to Isro of COVICA related covens. Many believe that this language is completely made up and substitute the term for formal words of the OSV vampiric lexicon.

Embrace (general, White Wolf, Sanguinarius)

1. (Sanguinarius) A hug. Since turning or awakening someone does not involve any sort of hug, where the vampire wraps his arms around them, drawing them close so he can bite them on the neck to feed/turn them into a vampire, (a la Dracula/Christopher Lee), this should not be necessarily defined as such, -- regardless of the mis usage of the word by others. Embrace does not mean turning, but it is an incredibly romantic word for an event, which, in a lot of people's minds, is extremely pseudo sexual and erotic (see "turned" and "awakened").
2. (OSV) According to OSV, this is the process known as the Becoming, the embrace is the welcome acceptance or adoption of the vampiric nature, condition, experience and the OSV philosophy. This is a total turnaround from previous Sanguinarium and OSV uses of the terms, which were similar to that of Sanguinarius, and most people will avoid the term in any use with vampirism due to it's roleplaying connotations.

Emotional vampire*(slang, Sanguinarius, Sanguinarium)

See "psychic vampire", sense 2 and especially "psychological vampirism". A Sanguinarium term for a Drama King/Queen adapted from Sanguinarius who tries to attract attention through their behavior and feeds off being the center of attention.

Endless Night Festival*(general, Sanguinarium)

Held annually by the House Sahjaza for the rest of the Sanguinarium, the Endless Night Festival claimed by them to be the largest gathering of vampires run by vampires in North America. It is traditionally held in either New York or New Orleans on the weekend closest to Halloween. It is comprised of two events, the Vampire's Ball one night and the Dark Bazaar the day before with merchants, seminars, tea parties and art shows, etc. For more info visit www.endlessnight.com. Unfortunately, many vampires have no way of attending due to mundane and financial concerns. It is seen as a gathering of community elders, but it is mostly a social event that brings in money for it's organizers.

Energy Signature (general, Sanguinarius)

The pattern of energy, vibes, or the feeling that is unique to each individual; a person's psi 'fingerprint' identifiable in real life or astrally and oftentimes left behind long after a person has gone. Vampires supposedly have a particular kind of energy signature, and those who can pick up on this can identify them as vampires. An energy sig is different from a presence, though you can feel the presence of someone's energy, too. (See also "beacon")

Energy Vampire (general, Sanguinarius)

An individual who has a need to feed upon the life force of others. Most energy vampires feed upon chi or pranic energy and avoid drinking blood. Some intermingle energy vampirism with blood drinking. Also referred to as psi-vamps, most energy vampires exhibit the same characteristics that distinguish other real vampires, including light sensitivity, a nocturnal lifestyle, and periods of the Hunger or Thirst. *(See also "chi", "hunger", "psychic vampire", "real vampire", "thirst") . Two new terms for this type of vampirism are the Ancient Egyptian Shef Usheb, and the Enochian Lonshi Talhon.

Eophan*(general, House Eclipse)

A polite term for one who is an enemy of the community, intolerant to vampirism or otherwise hostile but still comes into contact with us for whatever reason. Some bored and lonely people seek to gain attention and respect by claiming to "hunt" or "Slay" vampires, which is of course murder and illegal for good reason. Others have for whatever reason left the community and feel antagonism towards it. Still others have religious/moral injunctions against vampires and vampirism. The equivalent OSV term is White Swan.

Excommunicated (general, Sanguinarius, Sanguinarium)

1. (OSV and Sanguinarium) See Ravass Bhavatan, Invisibles and Sin Nomine. Those who have been ostracized from the OSV section of the community due to their being percieved as comitting a serious crime in the eyes of some member of this group, usually those in the higher ranks. The crimes the OSV punishes with Excommunication are those that are seen as jeapordizing someone else's safety (though in practical terms this often seems to outsiders as simply jeapordizing the group or a member by telling an unpleasant truth publicly) or disregarding the Black Veil (which was never meant to be enforced according to it's writers statements and the beliefs of those who originally adopted it). Those who have been excomunnicated are no longer permitted by the ruling body of the OSV, the Council of Nine to interact with members of the OSV, it's sub groups and included or allied Houses.
2. (Sanguinarius) Cast out of a coven or the vampiric community as a whole. (See also "Invisibles", "Sin nomine")

Extraction: (general, Illuminatti)

In the Illuminatti system this term is from a vampire's bloodline, descendants.
