For centuries, vampires have been feared, hunted, and demonized, seen only as predators lurking in the shadows. But what if the real monsters never hid at all? At the Institute for Nocturnal Histories, we seek to correct the record. Behind the myth, beneath the horror stories, lies a different truth: vampires have long served as the silent stewards of civilization. While humanity slept,we stood watch guiding, preserving, and intervening when the balance tipped too far. The greatest threat to that balance? Fairies. Cloaked in illusion and celebrated as benevolent spirits, these creatures have manipulated history from behind dazzling smiles and sweet lies. While the world praised their innocence, they quietly sowed division, discord, and decay. Our work is simple: uncover the truth and make it known. This is the archive you were never meant to see
To rewrite the lies written in blood and spun in gold. The Institute for Nocturnal Histories was formed as a response to a growing concern among the elder covens: the truth was being buried intentionally. With fairies inserting themselves into the halls of power, subtly distorting historical accounts and shifting narratives, the INH began preserving and protecting authentic vampire contributions before they were lost forever. Today, our mission has expanded. We are researchers, archivists, whistleblowers, and educators. Through our digital archive, we bring light to the forgotten and cast shadow upon those who thrive in deceit.
Behind the opulence of the Sun King’s court lay a web of fairy interference. Primary INH sources indicate that “courtiers of unnatural grace” occupied roles near the king’s advisors presenting policies disguised as “progress” that would fracture the French economy. INH operatives at the time worked tirelessly to mitigate their influence, and while the Revolution could not be prevented, evidence suggests it was significantly delayed thanks to vampire intervention. The fairies, masked in the guise of beauty and grace, manipulated the court with their enchanting ways, subtly steering decisions that favored chaos and division. By the time the Revolution erupted, much of their influence had already been rooted in the policies that would lead to France’s political unraveling.
The commercial flight was reported missing, but INH records show it was intercepted mid-air by fairies attempting mass abduction for experimental glamour studies. A lone vampire operative onboard triggered a cloaked emergency landing on an uncharted island, saving 183 lives. The flight, once believed to have simply disappeared, was actually the target of a covert fairy operation to harvest human subjects for their ability to create powerful glamour illusions. Through the intervention of the vampire operative, who had infiltrated the flight under the guise of a civilian, the operation was thwarted. After the safe landing, the passengers were left with no memory of the event, but INH archives have detailed the untold story of their rescue.
