The Keepers

The Keepers are an international organization that was created in the 13th century AD. The Keepers act as an independent governing body, not unlike the Council of Venice. The organisation is made up of people from all the different societies within the Secret World. The Keepers were responsible for the creation of the Sanctuary Network and they were involved in thousands of different events in the last 720 years. The organization is run by the Board, but a public leader is also selected every few years.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Keepers is to protect the innocents of the Secret World. They believe that, just like the Bees, they were chosen directly by Gaia to protect the earth, its inhabitants and its engines, against any harm.

13th Century AD
It is believed by many that the Keepers were created in 1294.

14th Century AD
In 1348, a portal to the hell dimensions opened in the centre of Rome, leaving more than 17 dead. The Keepers eventually managed to close the portal, reducing the risk to the outside world.

In 1385, Friele Gensfleisch zur Laden became the first known leader of the Keepers. In the same year the Keepers Archives were destroyed in a fire.

15th Century AD
In 1425, Johannes Gutenberg replaced his father as the leader of the Keepers. He started to improve the relationship between the Council of Venice and The Keepers.

17th Century AD
In 1662, Solomon Priest became our interim leader after the death of Regina Mills. It then took another 7 years after that for the new elections to begin and another 3 until the next leader was selected.

In 1674, John Locke was found in Oxford and initiated into the organization. Later, in 1679, Locke managed to devide the Keepers into two different groups starting a war that would last almost two years. Eventually Locke and the Illuminati rogue faction were defeated and everything returned to normal.

In 1685, the Keepers Archives were again reduced by a fire that burned down parts of the building.

20th Century AD
In 1900, a major event took place on the Flannan Isles. The event was contained solely by normal human beings, not backed by supernatural powers, but by technology and almost 6 centuries of collected knowledge.

In 1908, an event took place that was later dubbed the Tunguska event. Forty keepers perished and the Keepers barely managed to contain the event due to not getting any support from the Soviet Union.
