A Carpathian Feast is an ancient tradition. According to Bertrand there hadn't been one for hundreds of years. At the end of the evening a vampire of the host's choosing is roasted to death in his honour. Count Dracula selected Erin Noble as the vampire who would be roasted. Erin was locked in a cage during the feast. Ingrid told Vlad that a kiss would save Erin from the flames, however when Vlad kissed her he discovered she was human.
