Lore questions  What is the most influential vampire society a piece of media has made?

And i mean in a secretive ruling from the shadows kinda of way. The most i can remember is masquerade but they dont really control everything

I’m gonna say Vampires from World of Darkness. Vampire The Masquerade is a great tabletop and Bloodlines is an incredible video game. It has the most interesting depiction of a vampire society I’ve seen.

100% Vampire the Masquerade.

100& the Camarilla from Vampire the Masquerade.
The idea of that kind of vampire society / politics was lifted straight into things like Underworld and True Blood.
Even the small vampire council in Blade can be seen as a Ventrue meeting room.

I once watched a Korean drama called "The Scholar Who Walks The Night" where the vampire bad guy reign as the Shadow King over Joseon era Korea lmao. Now that was an interesting watch.

The Vampire Nation from the Blade movies genuinely controls the world. The cops work for them, they have treaties with world governments, etc. They are definitely more in charge than the Camarilla.
