History of the Brotherhood

…The Brotherhood of Sanctuary Isle traces it roots back to the Age of Magic over 3000 years ago. The Brotherhood was formed after the discovery of the first demons, to counter their increasing influence as they succeeded in gaining control over several of the ruling Wizard Cabals of the era. Instrumental in the downfall of the ruling Wizard Cabals, they settled on the newly formed Sanctuary Isle after the Great Rebellion and established their fortress monastery over the isle’s ruins. From this base the Brotherhood has continued to hunt for any surviving demons to this day…

…Widely regarded as the finest warriors in the world, the Brotherhood is sworn to neutrality in political matters. Any request to involve themselves in any conflict has always been refused even under extreme pressure. The siege of Sanctuary, in the Siramese calendar year 202, by the Emperor Conquestine remains the only attempt to subdue the fortress by force. The signing of the treaty following the complete failure of this venture, has ensured the Isle's independence from Imperial rule in the years since…

…The warrior monks are dispatched to respond to reports from across the realms. In the last few centuries, the reports have been few, but the Brotherhood maintains its vigilance and continues to train its members well…
