Premise

Welcome to the Brotherhood

---

The world we know knows the power of occult artefacts, the hunting instinct of unnatural creatures, as well as the caprice of divine beings. Full of fear of the supernatural, the first humans therefore persevered in darkness, but resentment grew and humanity began to rise from the shadows of its tormentors.

Now we use horses to move, swords to fight and high walls to defend ourselves. So we no longer allowed ourselves to be subjugated, we instead took what was due to mankind. We therefore subjugated the land and chased away the abominations that once taught us fear. But these nightmarish abnormalities were not willing to disappear forever from their former domains.

So it was only a matter of time before some wise, rich and influential men came together who shared the same vision. A vision of a better world; of a world without the supernatural dangers that threaten the survival of humanity. So it happened, those self-appointed guardians of humanity took an oath for the protection of the human species and secretly founded our Brotherhood.

Time passed and the spirit of the Renaissance became pervasive in our world. As did the Brotherhood, which became no short-lived whim of a few idealistic conspirators. For our Brotherhood has steadily expanded since its founding, opening up new territories to guard all humanity from the supernatural. We thus not only remained in the bosom of Europe, but we expanded together with the European empires into the far-flung corners of the Old and New Worlds. In this way, our brotherhood was able to secretly avert many supernatural catastrophes and outlast the times of the greatest worldly conflicts.

But fanatical priests, decadent nobles and power-hungry citizens characterise the everyday life of every subject. Just like the fear of the horror that lurks in the shadows or is used by unscrupulous groups for their machinations. But we, the Brotherhood, we elude all fear and authority of this dark world. For we fight the horror in the shadows and we serve only the good of humanity.

In order to be able to act against these mysterious threats which our scouts spy, our scholars study the nature of the occult in subterranean crypts. We use the knowledge gained to eradicate the supernatural from the life of the people once and for all with the help of our hunting parties. But the scourge of our species remains relentless, as do we with our never-ending mission.

It is now up to you, chronicler, to write down and archive the stories that befall the Brotherhood. For all the events that our brothers experience during their duties, as well as many other events that happen in this world, should not fade away like old wives' tales in our memories.

Brotherhood

We owe our long-term success, among other things, to the strict distribution of competences among various locations and departments, which structure our brotherhood and thus form the cornerstones of our community.

---

Locations

Forum

Forums are hidden locations where our members are born, raised and educated. Depending on the language of the country, full members are distributed to those overseas and surrounding domains. Therefore, each empire has its own forum.

Domain

Domains are both above ground and underground complexes that act as headquarters and do not house paranormalities. There is a domain in each region, these are disguised as remote manors and are in a geographically central location.

Tombs

Tombs are underground dungeons which are either used to store paranormalities for study purposes or to keep them there permanently. These hidden outposts are extensively scattered and are either temporarily or permanently inhabited.

Refugium

Refuges are shelters for the stationing of members during their missions. Refuges are restricted solely to urban areas of strategic importance. In appearance, refuges vary between secret and civilian premises.

---

Departments

Breeding

The Department of Breeding breeds animals and humans alike. The beings selected for this purpose live in comfortable conditions and are fostered by the breeders to produce the best possible offspring. Human offspring are raised parentless.

Pleasures

The Department of Pleasure ensures the entertainment of the male members with the help of female members who have not been assigned to human breeding. Courtesans are therefore sterilised and taught various entertainment arts as well as pastoral care.

Education

The Department of Education trains archetypes for intellectual, martial and ordinary tasks. In addition to physical training and shaping of skills, teachers place a high premium on indoctrination to ensure loyalty and willingness to perform.

Supply

The Department of Supply oversees the extraction and processing of raw materials. The localities of the farmers to extract resources are located at the domains. The goods generated supply the respective domains and, via supply routes, the associated locations.

Transporting

The Department of Transport is responsible for the supply routes with which the transfer of resources, paranormalities and messages is realised. Deliveries by couriers are made on foot or by means of transport and escort if required.

Trivial

The Department of Trivial is mainly responsible for housekeeping activities but also for repairing and expanding sites. Occasionally the footmen make constructions to capture or banish paranormalities.

Stalking

The Department of Stalking is concerned with the detection and scouting of paranormalities, as well as occult groups. The squads of up to four men use all means of espionage for this purpose. Scouts are also responsible for acquisitions and liquidations.

Hunts

The Department of Hunting coordinates hunting parties tasked with catching or disposing of catalogued paranormalities. If necessary, the eight-man groups are supplemented with up to four specialists or several groups are called in for a Big Hunt.

Protection

The Department of Protection is responsible for the care of subjects and the guarding of sites. When transporting paranormalities, guards are also deployed as escorts. In the event of a Ban Rule breach, it is incumbent upon the guardians to stop it.

Healing

The Department of Healing is responsible for medical care with medicinal herb gardens, tried and tested healing books and surgical expertise. Secretly, the medics have been tasked with applying euthanasia, in cases of irreversible incapacity.

Research

The Department of Research investigates paranormalities in order to discover their nature, to establish banishing rules or to gain knowledge for hunting. All scholars are specialised in areas of knowledge to access a range of expertise.

Archiving

The Department of Archiving is charged with regulating correspondence, translating and transcribing, and archiving writings. The chroniclers are also responsible for the use of the printing presses to reproduce Ban Rules and relevant transcripts.

Administration

The Department of Administration includes oversight of organisational matters, making the management of sites and the distribution of resources one of the main duties of administrators. The head of a domain also heads this department.

Funding

The Department of Funding is led by the benefactors. Their identities and number are kept secret, but the benefactors are undoubtedly descendants of the founding members and support the Brotherhood financially to cover any purchases and expenses

Groups

Even though the activities of the Brotherhood are carried out in secrecy and in the name of humanity, we always come across groups that are not sympathetic to us or that contradict our mission.
