Guardians of Essence

==Overview==
The Guardians operate throughout the lands of Iaurdor, and are a very secretive cult. They worship Dral, both aspects of him, the light and the dark. They believe in Balance, particularly in magic. Whenever a magic-user threatens the balance of the essence, they murder him. This usually occurs when they feel that a magician has become too powerful, and are a danger to themselves and the world. They have no other agenda, other than preventing a repeat of the Mage Wars which they believedoccurred due to a lack of balance. They slay good and evil alike.
Most of them are skilled Paladins, who left the faith long ago. Even a few Inquisitors are found within the ranks. The Cult is reputed to have started in Atlantea, though they are very secretive, and most consider them just a legend. Only the Order of Dral know the truth. A small group of the Guardians exists just north of Horville (Ardadain), in the hills.
The cult reside in a cave network which once belonged to the Elves. So far they have managed to escape the attention of the Order of Dral- though they are slowly increasing their activity. A recent assassination attempt on Grendel Darkmoon at Kingshead was foiled only by the timely intervention of Kern Aldritch. One of the members as even managed to infiltrate the College of Light, where he is acting as a lecturer, and keeping his eyes peeled for any mages who seem too powerful. The leader of this group is Morbeck Longcaster- he alone knows who the head of the entire cult is........
