♦ In Grimm Times ♦
Daylight shines upon peaceful lands
Quiet homes amidst busy farms
Children play whilst adults work their hands
There are no weapons, no need to take arms
Then comes the night, and with it the creatures of dread
The haunting goblins that go bump underneath the bed
The connoisseurs of flesh and reapers of the dead
Prowling the woods, in search of victims with their weapons of lead
Many humans fall to the beasts
But there are few who stand with lanterns dim
Their blades upon virulent flesh feast
The blades of the family Grimm

The blades of the family Grimm
The eleventh century was a time of virulent pestilence and violent slavery. Lords and knights roamed the land, enforcing their own personal brands of justice upon whoever they saw fit. Chaos and fear plagued the lands, stoking the fires of war. With the humans consumed with their own struggles, the creatures of night and darkness were allowed to roam freely, no one stopping to question their presence or hunt their kind. Stories of the Werebeasts, the humanoid reptiles, and many other races of carnivorous monsters were well known, however these creatures possessed the ability to disguise themselves as humans; as such, one could rarely see a beast's true form and live to tell the tale.
Unable to withstand the abominations that roamed the land, a particularly wealthy family known as the Grimm's set about to purge them from the land. The Grimms trained in various forms of combat, some of which outsiders deemed as magic, and tutored themselves in the weaknesses of various species' of monsters. They cataloged their interactions with the dark creatures, judging which ones were to be purged on sight, which were to be dealt with from incident to incident, and those who were to never be harmed. Many of the weaker creatures grew to fear the Grimms, and as such, submitted to them, helping the family in any way they could to avoid extermination. The stronger creatures of night sought to kill the Grimms, sparking a war that further plunged the world into darkness as both sides mustered strength.
Creatures of the Night
Below is the cataloged information of various kinds of creatures that the Grimm family has encountered. Read on with caution.
Werebeasts
Hexenbiests
Löwen
These creatures are a threat to the very integrity of society; they bring only anarchy and death to whatever unfortunate soul crosses their path. While not all Wesen are evil, most must perish; Only a Grimm is capable of that.
Only a Grimm can be a Reaper.
