Many people though are frightened by them, some even hunt them down. People keep asking themselves if they are safe while there is a "vampire" living among them. But still there are many Ekon communities in major towns that can be found as a safe haven for an Ekon.</p> <p><strong><div style='margin-top:-7px;'></div></strong></p> <p><em><div style='margin-top:21px;'></div></em></p> <section> <p><em><div style='margin-top:22px;'></div></em></p> <section> <blockquote> <section id="ekon-race5e-ekon-features-about-ekons-credits"> <h5 id="ekon-race5e-ekon-features-about-ekons-credits">Credits</h5> <p><a href="https://www.deviantart.com/nanfe/art/Perfectly-Deadly-763972336" title="title" class="custom-external-link" target="_blank"><em>Art by NanFe</em></a> <a href="https://www.artstation.com/artwork/BnZ0l" title="title" class="custom-external-link" target="_blank"><em>Art by Artem Demura</em></a> <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/atomiiii/art/Future-Women-swordsman-730987267" title="title" class="custom-external-link" target="_blank"><em>Art by Atomiiii</em></a></p> </section> </blockquote> </section> <section> <img src='https://www.gmbinder.com/images/Vz68SuE.jpg' style='position:absolute; bottom:-100px; right:-50px; width:510px; transform:scaleX(); filter:saturate(150%); filter:contrast(103%); mix-blend-mode:darken;' /> <section> <img src='https://www.gmbinder.com/images/178K5Aj.png' style='position:absolute; bottom:-120px; right:-50px; width:870px; transform:scaleX(); filter:saturate(150%); filter:contrast(103%); mix-blend-mode:darken;' /> </div><div class="phb" id="p2"> <p><em><div style='margin-top:-5px;'></div></em></p> <section id="ekon-race5e-ekon-features-the-ekon-bloodlines"> <h2 id="ekon-race5e-ekon-features-the-ekon-bloodlines">The Ekon Bloodlines</h2> <p>The Ekon have two original bloodlines divided between Ogden and Zenos.
