Ancient Blood: The Order of Vampire Hunters – Khirnanian Clan Expansion is an expansion for Ancient Blood: The Order of Vampire Hunters released in 2025 for 1–4 players, 90 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up.

New vampires are coming out of their Dens to plague the world with their corruption. An Ancient Vampire Clan awakens from its slumber: the Khirnanian. The origin of this Clan dates back to the beginning of time. Before the human race started to populate these lands, more primitive creatures were a common sight. Heavier and bulkier but less intelligent, they used to be a common sight in the plains and hills of this region. Some scholars and men of letters believe that primitive humans killed them all as they claimed possession of these lands, but the reality is far more gruesome. An Ancient Being and its lust for blood were responsible for the genocide of these ancestral cousins, the only evidence of their existence recognizable in the corrupted forms of the Clan Adepts. After the slaughter, the lands deserted of living preys, the whole Clan fell into a slumber for centuries...until now! —description from the publisher
