The Keepers of Stones are strange sorts, even among the Hypogean freaks of UnderLondon. Each of them is master of one of the sets of Stones, the pieces of mouldering stonework left over from Roman times - the last remnants of Latin construction which they believe keep the Curse in check.
The Keepers' purviews are also symbolic of the powers they have seized for themselves in UnderLondon. Though they do not directly control anything, everyone answers to one of the Keepers, in some capacity. Civilization in UnderLondon is centered around the Keepers (or, properly, around the Stones, though they may as well be one and the same at this point), who serve as social hearthlights for monsters, with dark, unmanaged tunnels between their bulwarks.
The Keepers all dress identically - long tattered robes, with various pieces of jewelry, and mummers' masks. Each one has a piece of jewelry that acts as a badge within his or her household, given to those who have sworn direct allegiance. Many of the Keepers also have Agents who serve them in an official capacity or another.
