Yes, a sorcerous version of Vivamort was written up for MRQ but did
not seem to make it into the final document. It was more of a
magical ponzi scheme and a fairly corrupt sorcerous order rather than
any sort of religion. I am not entirely sure what presence the
destroyed/flawed essences of vampires and their master would have on
the higher essence planes - if any.
