"Hello friends, and welcome to Little Hollow, our little traveling village. We come from a distant land, with nothing but our caravan and what lies inside them. Feel free to speak with our townsfolk of our history. If you wish to take one of our wondrous artifacts with you, I, Karl the Trader, will satisfy you in that regard. Please, visit me at my stall if you seek adventure!" The mustached trader continues to ramble on about his wonders, drawing many curious ones who came thinking the place was a sort of carnival. Around, simple men and women went about their lives. Cooking, eating, telling stories to the curious. The cover had obviously fooled the unwary, so they didn't get too nosey. One of the larger caravans sat slightly away from the others. The door? Locked. If one were to find a way inside, they would realize what was hidden in this camp. The door opens up to a new world, as if going outside rather than inside. A forest with scurrying animals, a sky locked in twilight, and mountains in the distance. The rouse outside this hut were the homes of the gatherers. Inside this caravan, the actual Little Hollow, was the home of the hunters.
Perhaps a history lesson is in order here? It starts in Europe. The Crusaders, the Templar, the Knights of the Holy Order and- well, I'm sure you get the point. They are the original Huntsmen- Warriors and the like dealing with the enemies of what was seen as Holy at the time. Granted, the Church became corrupt, the the Knights lost their holiness in hindsight. But, they were still the originals. Originals are always rough. They inspired Fairy Tales, in which brave warriors and sometimes peasant hunters would aid in the destruction of creatures of the dark side of magic.
As the world progressed, knights Templar became less knightly, and more a society. A society that still believed in magic, and the evils of it. So, when the time was right and they had done their planning, three of them, whose names were lost in history (perhaps on purpose) attacked what they had determined to be a cult. What Deity were they worshiping? Nobody knows. Facts are, the fanatics were right, and though they made a big public mess, they took care of what may of became a problem in the future. Maybe.
Lets zoom in a bit in the future. A somewhat modern age, with most believing magic never existed in the first place. Because, you know, it didn't, right? Well... then the Gods showed up on Earth's doorstep. Yep, yep, the Gods decided to do some business on Earth. Brought almost every other myth with them. Olympians, Asgardians, does it even matter? Fact is, it showed people how ignorant they were. That's where Derrick comes in. Who is Derrick, you might ask? In his own words, he's "the one who thinks vampires aren't really a big problem". Jokes, always with the jokes...
Yea, Derrick doesn't like to talk about his life. What I personally have dug up is that he has a Druid heritage, and likes disposing of the retched, sometimes with thinking. He's the one who pulled "us" (we'll get to that some other time) together. He's a Witch Hunter. The first thing he did was kill some hag that had gotten bold with all the chaos in the world. She did a bunch of hokus pokcus and, poof, she summons a giant monster slug thing in a small town in... Russia? Maybe, I'm not good with all this history and stuff. Anyways, I'm not gonna tell you about what happened specifically, but he thought the best way to fight magic is with magic... and stuff. That's why he pulled us together. Maybe he just wanted to be lazy and make us do all the work? No, he'd never do that... right? Anyway, welcome to Little Hollow. The real one, I mean. Fight the good fight and all that.
