I've never been particularly religious myself, but my mother was a theologian and follower of the Ruby Witch. She's got quite the portfolio; I think I've told you that she was our world's goddess of death, but she was also the overseer of law and arcane magic.

Either way, her clerics buried the dead, practiced law...some of them, like my mother, sought to archive magical knowledge for future generations.

So I think she'd actually appreciate her research being flipped through like this.

The thing about vampires is that no one ever really dies. At least not peacefully.
