The Societas Arcanorum is a secret organization founded over two thousand years ago to observe and protect humanity from the supernatural Bloodlines that began with the Arcanes, the first beings of their kind. Since its inception, the Societas has been divided into four Orders: God, Drakon, Death, and Animal, each responsible for monitoring a distinct Bloodline tied to one of these primal forces. Recently, a fifth Order was established to oversee a newly emerged vein, not rooted in ancient myth but born of human creation within the Genesis Six Lab, the first Bloodline to arise through deliberate human intervention.
