Taerel is an original, scifi/horror Worldbuilding project set after (and soon, soon after and before) a vampire outbreak brought the zu'aan empires of Taerel to their knees. Taerel was started in 2015 as the "Vampyre clans project" and grew from there. It was created by a Wikia (now Fandom) user named "The Burning Princess". It is written by a large number of users together.
The wiki's purpose is to make a world for others to read and enjoy. A wiki cataloging the setting can be found here.

Tropes used in Taerel include:
- After the End: Played straight for The Age of Awakening and the Age of Shattering, adverted for ages before then
- The Ageless: Played straight for many kin'toni but averted for the Kha'orm Kin'toni Clan, who die of radiation-related and in time fatal health effect after about 75 years
- Lost Technology: The Old Empire's Technology during the Age of Shattering is mostly lost, but some parts remain.
- Monster Progenitor: The clan founders of many of the kin'toni clans, such as Velis Runtumu for the Boughdyn Kin'toni Clan.
- Our Vampires Are Different: Boy, where to start, well vampires are living beings infected with a virus that turns them into super-strong sun fearing blood drinkers, with none of the standard weaknesses besides sunlight. They can be killed by things like sickness, blood loss and beheading.
- Pointy Ears: Both the zu'aan and the kin'toni have these in many descriptions. It seems rare that a kin'toni clan does not have pointed ears when their ears are described in an article.
- Shared Universe: The world background is a collaborative effort by multiple writers.
- Schizo-Tech: The zu'aan tribes and kin'toni clans during the Age of Shattering. Even the city zu'aan have ancient era technology - a far cry from the advanced tech they had at their height
- Sliding Scale of Vampire Friendliness: These vampires are somewhere in the middle, as there are both hostile nasty clans and nicer clans. There is everything from friendly ish and peaceful clans all the way up to savage monsters and mindless feral vampires.
- Scenery Gorn: Played straight. The zu'aan Empire's cities and buildings during The Age of Awakening and the Age of Shattering. The buildings are ruins of their former glory, but oddly enough seem still quite strong as shown in a page mentioning a hydroponic farm and a zu'aan group that lives in skyscrapers.
- Technically Living Zombie: Well, Technically Living Vampire, in this case, kin'toni.
- Undeathly Pallor: Many kin'toni clans are very pale-skinned.
- Viral Transformation: The kin'toni virus that turns people into kin'toni (vampires) takes a few weeks to turn the victim, but the end result is a blood-thirsty vampire
- The Virus: Again, the kin'toni virus - this virus happened to be made in a lab by the zu'aan empire as part of a super soldier experiment gone wrong.
- Weakened by the Light: Kin'toni suffer from this - their bodies reject their own tissues when exposed to sunlight
- Zombie Apocalypse: Well, a Vampire Apocalypse, starting in the Late Second Era, the Age of Awakening is about the outbreak and after, the age of Shattering is set 250+ years after the outbreak.
