History
After the Lost Age when humanity was still trying build itself up after being given more freedom from the other races, they still had to deal with the many beast and monstrosities that were created by the gods and were now let loose to roam about. To cope many groups of humans would make deals and agreements with other organizations such as the Order of Heaven or Magi in order to survive, but eventually a group of humans manage to strike a deal with druids to learn how to properly fend off the hoards. Centuries later they grew in numbers and spread their teachings to different parts of the world so that with every generation there were always someone capable of fighting back against monsters.
After Vigil was founded many were recruited to provide their expertise, while many still clung to their family traditions and stayed independent or against Vigil.
