Synopsis: The Clan Chronicles: The Guardians

It was a long time ago, in the late 20th Century, when the powerful vampires known as The Clan took control and reduced humanity to mere vermin. They also drove their fellow vampires into submission and made them slaves, worker drones to their Kings and Queens.

Their rise to power was bloody and swift. But it came with opposition. Some of the lower orders of vampire managed to escape. They united with the already downtrodden lycanthropes and came under the protection of a halfbreed whose sole goal was to help them survive, no matter their species.

Sanctuary was being created in the wilds of Canada while the rest of the world was burning and generally going to Hell in a hand basket. Their numbers were few and negligible then and the Clan soon forgot about them. This was the Clan's first mistake.

In the centuries since, the all powerful Clan made the whole world theirs. Cities once belonging to humans now fell into ruin and those who survived the attacks fled to small town which soon became fortified strongholds. Living conditions worsened until humanity was plunged back into their Middle Ages.
