The Brotherhood of The Spider Demon

The Brotherhood of The Spider Demon is a secret society founded in London sometime between 1410 and 1413. It was founded by The Unspoken Man, about whom not much is known. After being outlawed in 1419 and the loss of The Unspoken Man in 1420, it appeared that they had disbanded, but during an investigation in 1648 it was revealed that they were still a functioning organization with sects in major cities around the world. After a massive hunt throughout Europe following this revelation, The Brotherhood of The Spider Demon began to mainly operate out of Asia and the Middle East.

History
The origins of The Brotherhood of The Spider Demon, like most things involving the order, are relatively unknown. It is apparent that The Unspoken Man founded it in London at some point in the early 1410s, but little else has been uncovered about the dawn of this disturbing organization. As the 1410s wore on, it became apparent to authorities that The Brotherhood was responsible for the increase in local disappearances and began a campaign to arrest all of its members and shut it down for good. Despite capturing and executing many of its leader, including its founder in 1420, The Brotherhood continued on, setting up branches of its organization throughout Europe. At the time, The Brotherhood was relatively unknown by authorities outside of London, and the eradication of its members in and around London lead to the belief that The Brotherhood was extinct.
