Title: The Disciples of Vasuki (NPC Organization, available for backstory and mentions/apperances in threads, but no PC members)
Location: Primarily India with small cells in China, the UK, and North America.
Interactions with the world: The Disciples are long-time enemies of the UK Exchange and at constant odds with supernatural law keepers. They are bad news, the organization being powerful enough to stand their ground. If they cross paths with the law, it often results in bloody conflict.
They have not achieved a foothold in Easthaven, though their agents can be found in Chicago and DC.
Basic Lore: Hailing from India, the Disciples of Vasuki are only a small part of a large Indo-Sino organization. Specifically, they are a branch of the Vasuki family, one of five different sects. A shadowy cadre of criminals, black market artisans, and crime families, they specialize in curses and possession. They are also known for their political meddling, with puppet organizations and bribes.
They are best known for the Scrolls of the Dragon, a library of dangerous scrolls, ancient tomes, and eldritch artifacts hidden away in their vaults, in India and in Erasmus Cross, with a few smaller libraries scattered across China and North America. This is a massive deposit of magical information, the greatest of which is a repository of the true names for thousands of otherworldly beings.
The organization is primarily made up of mundane humans with a proportional percentage of half-bloods and other supernaturals. They are also known for being “for the people”, occupying the working class levels of social strata and drawing in members with promises of wealth and prosperity. As members rise in the ranks, they are given the opportunity to become “Blessed”—either cursed or possessed by beings from the Scrolls of the Dragon.
