A Vorlog is created when the process of creating a vampire bride is interrupted by the slaying of the vampire. The potential bride becomes a vorlog, trapped between life and undeath. A vorlog has charisma and wisdom draining powers, and often fixates on victims who remind them of their lost vampire love. The vorlog will woo its chosen victim for a time, until the differences between this surrogate and their lost lover become too much to bear, usually causing the vorlog to kill its victim.[1]
(As vorlogs can be Category:humanoid or Category:monstrous Humanoid without changing type to Category:undead, they cannot be conclusively filed in either category, hence, they are a Cross-type Template.)
Vorlogs are known to be encountered in the following domains:Barovia[2]

"She's mine," the gleeman said, his mouth dripping red. In his arms Cassandra stirred, as if waking from slumber; I could see the blood from her neck staining the breast of her nightgown. "You killed my lover because you couldn't bear to see us together, happy. I would have been her slave forever. That's what I wanted." His voice rising to a hoarse scream, he grated out, "Don't you understand? I can't be alone. I need her."
I did not know which woman--the blood-mistress who had been slain, or the innocent in his arms--he referred to. I doubt he did either.
