Bhalasaam in its ancient glory
The ruins of the city in 2009
Bhalasaam was the last great city of the vampire civilization located in India.
Hidden deep within the Himalayas it served as a final refuge for the vampires who had been hunted almost to extinction by humans. The city and the labyrinth beneath held the secrets of the vampire civilization's technology, such as geothermal power generation.
Around the turn of the 20th century, a joint assault by French, Spanish and Russian forces managed to destroy the last of the vampires and after four days of constant bombardment, reduced the city to ruins.
Gregory Magnus chose the ruins as the location to hide the last vial of the Source Blood, using the ancient vampire technology to set a series of tests so that only members of The Five could retrieve it.[1]
