We know so far that is go's Vampire, than Sherif, and than King or Queen. What is next? Did anyone else notice that the majestry seemed to have equal, if not more pull than the Queen. As far as the majestry and the Queen go, I guess they just have differnat kinds of power, one enforces laws and the other contols populations and every vampire is subject to the same laws, even Kings and Queens. The other thing I have been wondering is if additional power is bestowed upon a vampire when they reach the level of King or Queen. Eric is older than the Queen (she staed he is the oldest vampire in her territory) but she can easily over power him and has much more kinoldge than both him and Bill. Although when she made that comment she could have been not incluging her self in the comment. The knoledge may also be do to more acses to information than others.
