Agree with all of this. I think the RQ3 sorcerous vampire tradition roughly corresponds to what we know as the VivaMort tradition.

Possibly Delectis story is a bit more complex, but I agree that both Nontraya and Brangbane have little to with 'Vivamort'. Nontraya is associated with all sorts of otherworld monsters besides vampires and ghouls as well.
I think Orlanthi are, in general, more likely to become draugr rather than vampires, and sorcerous cultures are more likely to become vampires.
