You humans have had long enough to get over your fear of the dark. We’re coming back out, now, ready or not.
Yeah, we’re vampires, so what? Right now, we’re hot stuff according to the latest best-seller list. Heck, some of us even WRITE those books. And all those role-playing games? You guessed it. Sometimes you’ve just got to blow your own horn.
OK, here’s the deal. We don’t "turn" anybody or "bring anybody over." That’s the movies. You’re either born Velyr or you’re not.
Check out the fact sheets for the truth (if you think you can handle it). Then read on to catch up on some of your myths and legends about us. Meet a Velyr or two, and find out where we hang out. Hey, we even threw in a few musical suggestions for you.
We've put together a couple of options for you. One, you can simply take the educational tour, following the links until you reach the end. Or two, you can jump to Velyr Central and choose which pages you wish to peruse. Read the brief introduction below, then decide which choice you wish to make.

We’ve
been around for centuries. You’ve seen us. You recognize our scent in that
dark alley. You create tales to explain
us away, but we’re still here. You try to make us fit into your narrow
little realm of experience, but we won’t. You’ve never understood us.
Here, sit down. We’ll fill you in on a few things. If you keep an open mind, you may even learn a little. Try to erase everything you’ve been taught about us. Everything about the dark side. You have to stop thinking it’s all about you. It has nothing to do with you. We’re here, and we just happen to interact with you upon occasion. Nobody’s out to conquer the Earth or steal your souls or even eat you (to tell the truth, you don’t taste very good — too salty).
Now can you stop staring at my fangs and concentrate on what I’m saying?

So, you’re wondering what to do if you meet one of us in some dark alley. Well, to be honest, you probably wouldn’t know about it. We’ve been here a long time, and most of us are pretty good at acting human. We’ve even been known to resort to plastic surgery when necessary (to get rid of telltale ear points for example). But if you do meet a Velyr who refuses to conform, do get out of its way - the "rogues" are apt to be dangerous, maybe even a little psychotic.
You’ll never
be bored with a Velyr along — but you probably won’t be all that comfortable,
either.
Leave the preconceptions
at home, please — and do fasten your safety belts. The Velyr are driving,
and we like it FAST
If you really want to meet us, try someplace where there’s music and intelligent conversation. We have short attention spans, too, so we like to live where there’s always something going on. We’ve been online from the beginning of the internet, but we’re only now deciding to "go public." Hey, you humans can get a little weird when you’re afraid of something, you know.
That’s about
all the physical info we’re ready to give out. Oh, by the way, we don’t
do any of that psychic stuff some of the books say we do, so you aren’t
apt to be hypnotized or anything. We do have some traits that you humans
don’t have, but then, we’ve been designed for a certain environment. Humans,
so far as we can tell, haven’t been designed for anything.
