Haltz is the name of one of the three vampire clans in the world. They are the strongest vampire clan with the percentage of pure vampire blood reaching fifty percent in the main family.

Located in the south, Haltz is surrounded by an area of pine-dominated forests called the Silver Forest, a humid area. This area is also one of the three areas that are strictly forbidden to enter for humans.

Each vampire clan is led by one of the strongest vampires in the main family or is determined by the rules of a vampire committee called the Harawaltz. But in the unique case belonging to the Haltz clan, the first child chosen becomes the leader.

The leader of each clan is addressed by the title "Your Majesty", having almost the same status as "King". It follows the same governance procedures as the Aima Kingdom, a kingdom that collapsed ten centuries ago.

Just like the Aima Kingdom, the Majesty of each clan has a confidant or what is often called His Majesty's right hand. They are people who are elected based on trust, not based on politics or interests.

Each clan including Haltz, has its own territory, with a castle that stands in the area as a sign of ownership, and also each clan has an official symbol and name that is used in formal events or activities.

With a fifty percent percentage of pure vampire blood in their family, Haltz became the clan that dominated the other two clans. However, with Harawaltz, Haltz's dominance is limited.

Haltz's limited dominance also comes from a senior vampire who comes from a clan that has the weakest percentage of pure vampire blood, called Waltz. Nonetheless, this senior vampire had a sizeable role in Harawaltz.

The involvement and political manipulation carried out by the senior vampire put Haltz in a difficult position. Haltz must be smart to maneuver if they do not want to lose their dominance or even undermine their power.
