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)

I really wasn't trying to imply that there were majestic herds of vampires wandering the nights looking for stuff to suck, POW, blood whatever.
I just don't think there would be that much variation from vampire to vampire in an "area". Sure Japanese and Romanians have different ideas about vampires but I suspect pretty much all the Japanese stories about them agree with each other and the same goes for the Romanians. It's only when you get to Joss Whedon and Charlaine Harris do you start getting weird abilties/origins popping up in vampires.
