The Fated have a long and turbulent history. In the time before, the powers of the First of the Fated were founded in strife and the generations of Fated that have followed after them have seen their fair share of war and persecution.
It was not until a Fate was utterly destroyed by hunters, during the Medieval ages, that the Promise of Nancy, a pact to end bloodshed between the Fates, brought an end to the conflict. United by the Promise, the Fated fought off the hunters, but incidents like the Salem Witch Trials serve as a reminder that hunters are still an ever present threat.
At the end of the 19th century a new type of magic had the Fated in its grip. Every fashionable witch or warlock tried steam-magik and a new Guild was created for those who could merge aether to mechanical devices to create wondrous automatons.
The 20th century started out favourable for the Fated, the Promise and the witch hunts seemed no more than grim pages in a history book, but it wasn't long though before hunters reminded the Fated why the Promise insisted on the secrecy of their practices. The events during the Dust Bowl of the 1930's saw to that.
Now, at the dawn of the 21st century, Fated are found in small communities or living alone to keep off the radar of governmental bodies and worse yet, hunters. The largest Fated community can be found in New York and consists of no more than 50-75 Fated at a time.
