Armata gives a long drawn sigh, as he explains further. "No. The law against reckless feeding, is to curb any possibility of our kind killing off our food source. My world understands that humans are a the food source to the larger portion of the Vampires in our realm. While higher Vampires like me can survive on different sources of blood, most Vampires of lesser rank do not have this various diet." Armata sips his wine.

"If left unchecked, Vampires could easily burn through the human race and their food. So these laws were made. These laws create a sense of trust it's the humans. They rest easy knowing we will not take more than our share. Through the law we have created a system in which we obtain our food while allowing the humans to go about their lives free of fear. Blood offerings."

"Because Higher Vampires control the vast sums of land in my realm, humans are often settling upon these territories. In exchange for the land they settle, once a month they offer the Vampire Lord a supply of blood that will satisfy him yet not hurt those offering. There is also the fact that any criminals who break the law in human settlements and cities can also be offered to local lords."
