Every Goddamn Vampire in this Goddamn Medieval Europe of Mine

 Four years ago today, I made a generator for Vampire the Masquerade to represent the vampiric population of the United states. It was a neat toy and fun to make, and it was some help in the campaign I was running at the time. After some time running other things, I'm currently DMing a duet game in which the player takes on the role of different vampires in a single bloodline throughout history, and I got the itch to represent vampiric society of deep past.

Set in 1000 CE, this generator will list the vampires from the Caliphate of Cordoba in the west all the way to the lands that will retroactively be called the Byzantine Empire and Kievan Rus. Like with my previous generator, I use the rule of thumb that 100,000 humans = 1 Cainite. However, the low population density of the region at this time suggests that more kindred wandered longer distances, and that domains were broader and kindred populations also more dispersed. So I'm drawing from the population estimates of entire regions rather than metropolitan areas.  You'll notice that some clans, like the Ravnos and the Giovanni, are absent in this time and place, while others, like the Salubri and Cappadocians, are still found in numbers.

If you want to adapt this generator to later times, increase the number of Cainites across the board, but especially in the Eastern Roman Empire and in Spain. Many cities are built in the 11th and 12th century, and population shoots up until the Black Death arrives. Kindred population plummets around Constantinople in around 1205 as infighting brings down the idealistic Dream of the prince there, and plummets in Spain around 1480 as the Spanish Inquisition covers for a widespread effort to destroy the Cainites once and for all. Between those two dates, the "War of Princes", a tyrannous battle of all against all, drives vampires to acts of blood-slavery, sadism, and control. After the Inquisition comes the Anarch Revolt and the formation of the Camarilla, and my generator starts to get really outdated.

Thanks as ever to Spwack for the list-to-html tool, and to fantasynamegenerators for having a ready supply of olde timey names.
