I'd like to make the point that there should not really be enough vampires to have different "breeds" or "populations" in a region. So the Vampire in Elder wilds is The Vampire in the Elder wilds. The 2 vampires in the Rubble are The two vampires in the Rubble. There is not IMO a population of 1000 vampires wandering around Sartar. I don't know how many there are but it is a low number. There may be a groups that shares an origin (eg the Dancers of Darkness) but still, my estimate woudl be for almost no vampires (eg. 2 or 3) in Sartar, apart from the Dancers (not sure how many there are)
