The Custodi

The Custodi are one of the major factions in Sprin'Torel - though, people typically either fear them or refuse to take them even remotely seriously. But regardless of what the public opinion is, they see themselves as one of them most important factions in Sprin'Torel.

History
The Custodi were created when a group of clerics and wizards caught wind of a town being wiped from a map because of a demon accidentally being summoned.They had come together and dealt with it swiftly and quietly. After they returned the demon to one of the hells, they realised that this was one of many supernatural problems that the world had to deal with, and made it their life goal to deal with these threats so that others didn't need to.

Of course, a group of 'ghost hunters' and 'demon slayers' was destined from the start to have a bad reputation. While the people revered the Gold Helms for keeping them safe, it seems as if they either mocked or feared The Custodi, to the point of refusing to even let them into their towns. Still, The Custodi maintained their goal of protecting society. They knew that there were simply some threats that the Gold Helms were not equipped to deal with. They knew regardless of how the people felt towards them, no matter how badly they were mocked or shunned, they stood between humanity and the forces from beyond.

Even with how society viewed them, The Custodi knew that they had some respect from people who mattered. When the Gold Helms needed help on a job because it involved something beyond their understanding, they went to The Custodi. And they had to remind themselves that people mocked them because they were doing their jobs. People didn't have any reason to believe demons and ghosts and other fiends were lurking behind every shadow because they weren't. Because The Custodi were doing their jobs, making sure everyone stayed safe.

Philosophy
As far as the average person cares, The Custodi are nothing more than a group of people walking around playing some fantasy game. To the more superstitious person, bad things follow The Custodi instead of vice versa, and it's safer to never deal with them. Yet, The Custodi know the truth. They know that the reason why everyone looks down on them is because they're good at what they do and protect everyone from threats that are more terrifying than even the worst nightmare.

All The Custodi care about is that they stand as the last bastion of hope - even if nobody credits them for it.
