The stressor here is that the vampire has been envisioned in so many ways, and different people will always hold certain truths about them pretty much regardless of anyone else.<br/><br/>One good way to deal with this is lay out every possible factoid in regards to vampires for your world.  Otherwise somethings are either left to open interpretation or can be disputed.<br/><br/>In this case however my friend, we were only given a basic "backdrop" for the setting.  Detailing human and vampire relations, some generalized vampire powers, how to kill a vampire, some basics on vampire society, the basic lowdown on the current stirrings of this rival Coven beginning to cause an uprising, and what the rival Coven was after.<br/><br/>But some details weren't filled in which now seem to be have been the cause of this non-needed mess, could have possibly been filled in and this whole thing avoided.  Or really do the issues in question matter enough to have caused these stirrings in the first place?<br/><br/>Again, as vampires have been interpreted in so many ways... Unless such things were decided upon to start with, did they matter enough to have caused the stirrings as they have?
