For centuries the Royal Order of Edenic Groundskeepers conducted their clandestine research. Slowly, carefully, they built their maps, documenting in detail the secret resting places of the world's Antediluvians and Methuselahs. The members of the order have gathered the secrets of their forbearers and the world's greatest trove of Kindred lore. Recently, several scholars of the order mysteriously disappeared while researching a site near Mombasa. Teams of strange Kindred have appeared in cities around the world to abduct the remaining members of the order and claim their research. It has become clear that the secret society had been penetrated or betrayed. 

 

As the secret of the Edenic Groundskeepers is revealed, the world's Methuselahs realize their sudden peril, and the opportunities before them. The clandestine struggle for control of the information unearthed by the order begins. Some of the Methusleahs are motivated by the desire for the secrets to remain hidden. Others are motivated by knowledge and the chance to learn the secrets of the Edenic Groundskeepers. Some Methuselahs see the order's trove as the key to victory in the great Jyhad. Others view it as instrumental to Gehenna itself.

 

Only when the fate of the order has been determined, and the reasons behind their betrayal and abduction are revealed, will the Methuselahs come to understand Eden's Legacy.
