Red Lotus

The Red Lotus thrives on indulgence, power, and vice.

Overview

The Red Lotus is a cartel ruled by Lizra, a vampire whose influence stretches through drugs, charm, and desire. She does not handle the trade herself — her presence is reserved for negotiations and moments when her authority must be made unmistakable.

Structure

The Red Lotus functions as a cartel. Dealers, couriers, and enforcers carry out the business. Lizra’s harem serves as both her personal indulgence and a political weapon, binding others through loyalty, pleasure, and fear of losing her favor.

Methods

The Red Lotus is known for:

  • Controlling the drug trade.
  • Using addiction to bind loyalty.
  • Relying on Lizra’s charisma in negotiations.
  • Maintaining a harem as both pleasure and leverage.

Notable Figures

  • Lizra – vampire leader of the Red Lotus, present only for negotiations or when her personal influence is required.
  • (Slots for cartel lieutenants or harem members, once defined.)

Relations

  • Black Lotus – rivals in method, sometimes allies in schemes.
  • White Lotus – ideological opposites, condemning them as corrupters.
  • Grey Lotus – frequent buyers of their wares.
  • Purple Lotus – occasional partners when drugs and sorcery align.

The Red Lotus does not simply profit. It ensnares.
