Strigoi are the ancestors of modern vampires. They were originally from the Netherworld but somehow made their way to Golarion. The Whispering Way counts among its secrets the belief that a necromancer summoned them via a portal.

Nosferatu evolved first, driven to rage by their hunger and decay. Some of these adopted the traits of their human prey, pretending to nobility and youthful exuberance, becoming the moroi. Those that rebelled against drinking the filthy blood of lesser beings nearly starved out, but eventually evolved into the vetala. Strigoi who hibernated for hundreds or thousands of years wake up driven by their desires and become jiang-shi.

History

Strigoi once lived in the hanging city of Fvalthahalia in the Netherworld, until Zon-Kuthon destroyed it millennia ago. No strigoi were known to exist as of 4712 AR, though a group of them served the Thassilonian runelord Sorshen during the Age of Darkness.

This group re-emerged in Korvosa in 4722 AR and were responsible for the deaths and turning of several Korvosans, including Bishop Keppira d'Bear, to strigoi that same year.
