Progress of Human Civilization

Era of Progress, Decline of Magic
As the vampires fell from power, humanity began to progress down much the same path as in true history. The years did not go perfectly, as different supernatural enemies often arose one after the other. The power of science and reason replaced the otherworldly laws of old, and the Fable receded from humanities collective minds. Only the still active exorcists and mages remembered the world of spirits in full. The exorcists continued to evolve, though they lost sight of their warrior roots, becoming something more akin to ghost hunters and spook catchers. The only noteable events that exorcists were involved in up until the modern day were the Inquisition, the Exorcist-Mage war of the late 18th century, and both World Wars, where the Dead Apostles began to regain their influence.
