Benjamin Franklin

"when the well is dry, we know the worth of water."

Hunter : The Vigil

The Vigil is as old as humankind itself. As long as monsters have prowled the darkness, brave and desperate mortals have walked out of the protective ring of firelight to pursue those shadows. Some die. Many go mad. But someone else picks up the torch and steps into the dark.
Some hunters whisper about the history that has preceded them; others boast loudly about it. Few are certain what's true and what's not, only that the Vigil is both timeless and ceaseless.
