The High Order

**The High Order** is a secret organization spanning the globe that explore and experiment on anomalies and other-worldly creatures and beings.

## History

### The Founding

The High Order has existed for centuries. It's not clear what year it was founded but it is assumed by most accounts and records that it happened around the renaissance period. It was founded by 3 men who discovered Ilimorgoroth tech hidden beneath the city of Rome. They took this tech and experimented with it, tested it, their human curiosity trying to better understand how it functioned. They soon realized they had to keep this a secret from everyone so they swore a sacred vow to never speak a word of their findings or discoveries to the known world. But they knew they'd never get through on their own, so they brought in a few people to help. This laid the foundations of what the High Order would become.

### The High Order Grows

As the centuries passed, The High Order grew in numbers. They started discovering tech all across Europe and it soon developed into finding alien life on Earth as well through that tech. Seeking to learn more, they began capturing some of this alien people in disguise as humans and began experimenting on them. Testing them, dissecting them, learning all that they could all to keep it to themselves.

### The 20th Century

The High Order would expand into other parts of the world during WW1 and came to a head in WW2 when Hitler and the Nazis came to the High Order, requiring an edge to win against the Allied Forces. They obliged and some Nazis became members of the The High Order to ensure progress was being made on this weaponry. One Nazi who was a part of the Research Department was Nevan. They took the DNA from some of their test subjects and created bio-weaponry. These were tested on the Jews to see how effective they were and they were shown to be more than capable of wiping out the Allied Forces. However, they never made it to the front-lines due to their production line being sabotaged from the inside by moles and spies. They were human and Ilimorgoroth alike and were led by a man with the last name of Foe. They captured those present in the Research Department and arrested them and confiscated a lot of the tech they had created (including a cryo-chamber). With The High Order crippled, Hitler's regime soon fell as a result. Though a heavy loss, the High Order continued onward through their expansion and through the decades their research and influence around the world has grown.
