It makes sense to an extent that Thomas isn't destroyed in the sunlight (I say "to an extent" since the light would still shine on his hands and face), but w/ Ruby, given how little of her body is covered...
(Not that I complain or anything. )
Also, I just noticed: Ruby wears a cross-shaped thing holding her shawl together. I Thought anything w/ that IMMEDIATELY destroys them!

Not all version of vampires burn in sunlight and are week to crosses, especially the letter is a pretty much a dead trait that newer version of vampires nearly never have. In an Avaron setting that trait wouldn't even make sense as Christianity doesn't even exist in that world.
Yes in Aravorn vampires aren't so "weak" like in some other books/cultures/etc.
They're actually quite powerful
They're still hunted though, indeed that's why they're wearing hoods in the image above.

Wasn't in original Dracula story Dracula himself the only vampire? I mean if I am not wrong stories about vampires are first made based on rumors about Dracula who was an actual real life lord.

In the novel 'Dracula' written by Bram Stoker, the three women who resided in Dracula's castle were also vampires.

There was indeed an actual Dracula: Vlad the Impaler of Wallachia; his namesake came from the nickname the Turks gave him when he was their hostage: Dracula translated to "son of the dragon" or alternatively (and as I see it more appropriately) "son of the Devil"--they called him such since he gave them hell while being held by them.

An alternative theory is that it's derived from his father, who was the head of the Order of the Dragon/Dracu (a local knightly order), and that he was known as the Dracula, the 'Little Dragon', because of that as a child.

After doing a bit of reading this seems to be a more supported theory except Vlad wasn't the only Dracula as that was actually his last name (Drăculești to be more exact but that can also be writen as Drăculea or Dracula).
