Mystic Falls

Mystic Falls is a picturesque town located in the southern area of Virginia. Aside from the towns foundation in 1859 (in the series timeline) by the Founding Families, the town also has a long history of vampires, witches and werewolves. Because of these, Mystic Falls is an Uncanny Village with a Dark Secret . So many important historical facts happened here, one might think it's the Center of the Universe.

As the Founder's Council, they secretly guard the town mainly from vampires, and they are seemingly unaware of other supernatural beings, such as werewolves and witches.

- The Founder's Council

The Founders Council is an association of the Founding Families, townspeople descended from the original settlers of Mystic Falls, as well as various municipal officials. Outwardly, it appears to be a civic organization dedicated to celebrating local history. Secretly the council's mission is to protect the town from supernatural beings, specifically vampires. Journals written by members of the Founding Families describe vampires and how to catch and kill them are passed down through subsequent generations.
