Unwilling to take part in the political and social machinations of Stensian vampires, those of the Stromkirkline chose to concentrate their power in Nephalia instead. As a result their disguising glamers are more powerful and more sophisticated.

Stromkirk's progenitor, Runo Stromkirk, was a high priest in life who worshiped a pre-Avacynian god of the sea and storms, and Stromkirk vampires still feel a slight affinity with the coast. Some Stromkirk elders have achieved the ability to transform themselves into mist.
The Stromkirk influence[edit | edit source]
Nephalia has always been lightly forested, but in the last century, its few trees have been cut down or destroyed due to the vampires' fear of them being turned on them as stakes and other weapons. Runo, the progenitor of the Stromkirk line, was crafty in his removal of the woodlands. Early on, using his glamors and sizeable fortune, he turned the human populace into artisans, supporting their efforts in building fine cities, proud ships, and vigorous, provincial commerce—all based around wood. Prosperous and plentiful humans are good business for the Stromkirk, so Runo became a kind of secret Nephalian patron, supporting master craftsmen and commissioning buildings, towers, and ships while funding any vampire-friendly efforts by alchemists and magisters. Out of this, Nephalia has become widely known for its masterful crafting and artistry with wood. Nephalian buildings, ships, chapels, and houses all bear a distinct and inspired art that sets it apart from the other provinces.
Drunau is where the Stromkirk vampires have established their ancestral manor and their center of commerce outside of Stensia. Here, humans who possess especially delicious blood are treated like the most precious livestock, knowing a life of pampered bondage but being protected from all the other dangers of Innistrad. All this takes place within the elegant ballrooms and mahogany studies of Stromkirk manors.
In Nephalia, when vampires must walk among humans, they use glamors to disguise themselves so as not to drive away their human neighbors. Occasionally, a newly sired vampire leaves the family fold of civilized decorum and goes on a blood-soaked frenzy of feeding. Often the Stromkirk deal with this as swiftly and as quietly as possible, especially if the vampire is a rogue from outside of the bloodline.
Eldritch Moon[edit | edit source]
The Stromkirk vampires who gave themselves over to the Nepahalian coastal cults were among the first of Innistrad's denizens to be transformed in Eldrazispawn.

Feeding Frenzy Mtg 2
'Feeding Frenzy' is the second episode of the first season of the Starztelevision seriesMagic City, which originally aired on April 13, 2012. The episode was written by series creator and executive producerMitch Glazer and directed by Ed Bianchi.
Plot[edit]
Ike is forced to deal with the disgruntled father of Mike Strauss, after he suddenly disappears. Meanwhile, the DA uses Danny to help him fight organized crime. Elsewhere, Stevie decides to continue his affair with Lily, despite discovering who she truly is. Meanwhile, Stevie Evans' affair with Lily Diamond heats up. At least Stevie gets more action than poor Danny, who clearly won’t be taking it to the next level with Mercedes until her mother, Maria, makes it out of Cuba and arrives safely in Miami Beach. Given the location and timeframe of the series, it’s no wonder that the Cuba storyline is a thread that runs through the lives of many of the characters, including Ben, who’s frustrated with Castro’s rise to power (“that bearded prick”), and Victor, who, in addition to being Maria’s husband and Mercedes’ dad, is the general manager of the Miramar Playa. Again, though, all we really did was get further reminded that things are crazy in Cuba and Maria’s still stuck in the middle of it all.[1]
