The royal order of dragons

The Royal Order of Dragons was an elite group of monster hunters commissioned by Queen Victoria in her youth to protect the British empire from monster based threats. the group consisted of 500 men of various disiplines and walks of life including military, nobility, science, and average civilian. Like many such groups, the order operated covertly not drawing attention to themselves as they dealt with various monsters including but not limited to vampires, zombies, sea serpents, and even the occasional dinosaur. Members of the order were sent to all corners of the empire to fight harmful monsters that threatened humanity and protected creatures that were misunderstood by people. The Royal Order of Dragons was disbanded after Victoria's death by her son Edward the vii who saw them as no longer necessary.
