Description:

For as long as the three races have recorded their histories, they have
been at war. humans, vampires and wherewolves � always hunting each other
in the darkness of night. Killing after senseless killing marring the
history of the races of earth.

Now some want peace. The first step, drawing up a set of laws that
everyone must abide by, these laws are called the covenant, and those who
follow it do so from the belief that only through the covenant can peace
be obtained. Thus they created a �police force�, the Guardians of the
covenant. Their task is to enforce the laws of the covenant on all who
walk the planet. But is is a difficult task, many very powerful members of
all three sides are opposed to the concept of peace, and they will fight
any guardian with the same ferocious veracity they employ against one
another. Those who found power and wealth in the wars, and those who
simply enjoy killing. All of them are enemies, and more often than not,
the Guardians are in mortal danger for the hope they protect.

The laws are simple:

No being may harm another except in self-defense or the the defense of the
innocent.
Vampires may not take blood from humans without their permission.
Neither vampires nor wherewolves may turn another against their will.
At all times, all covenant holders must respect the laws of their local human
goverments as far as they are phisically unhampered, except where doing so
would break the covenant.

Breaking any of these laws have but one punishment: death � regardless of
whether the offender knows the covenant.

Do you have the strength of heart to fight for a dream that seems as
impossible now as ever ? Do you have the courage to risk your life daily
to protect the innocent and enforce the law so that one day, the wars may
end ?
If so, then join the guardians, they need all the help they can get.

Due to the possibility of graphic violence and mature content, no persons
under 17 allowed.
