Historical Timeline for The Society



Roughly 1000 BC

The Society was formed approx. three thousand years ago following a coalition between the Watchers and a team comprised of demon hunters. Following the successful completion of their joint mission it was agreed that a larger organization was required to keep the forces of darkness in check.
