Holy Guardians

Created sometime in the First Era, a Holy Guardian is a powerful entity made of pure arcane magic channeled from the sun.Originally built as a golem made of gold, the Guardians were made to serve and protect the island of Sheighorash from many threats like wildlife, the Rasans, and Evets. Over time, these Holy Guardians were destroyed by those that stood against it. Today it is assumed their are less[[ than 12 in existence. Five of which were imbued within fragments of The Amulet of the Sun, to form a magic barrier in which Evets could not cross. Some of the abilities that these warriors are capable of are superhuman durability, stamina and most strikingly, they can warp individuals into a room void of any life other than it, and those it brings with. This room is described as a pocket outside of the universe and a window outside of time. By default, Guardians will speak Celestial but can cast a spell that will simulate Allspeak, which is used by the gods. The guardians imbued within the amulet are tasked with defending the amulet with its life, in which the only those it sees worthy may take the amulet fragment.

Though poorly recorded now, creation of these Guardians are now a lost art. But historians seem to think that the Guardians were made from the gold found in where Aurus is now lies the gold, then melted into a humanoid shape, left to cool in the sun. Overtime, the gods would bless this statue and bring it to life gifting it armor and magic. Loyal to those in need, it would go on to defend the small settlements of Sheighorash like Anvil of the time. There do seem to be scriptures of Rasans trying to copy this method for their own means proving fruitless but for one. This one successful guardian was forged poorly and set in a crude matrix. This Guardian would from then on be known as The Malformed, whose whereabouts are currently unknown. Once defeated, a Guardian would fade from existence and the armor would drop to the ground. The island nation Equis Majora had also attempted to create a Holy Guardian with no result. However, once the AED was founded, they had obtained on of the few remaining Guardians for research. To this day, no results surrounding the creation or capabilities have been made.

The five Guardians which were imbued within the Amulet of The Sun use a specialized spell acting as a mystic barrier of which keeps Evets at bay. The Guardian's spell is mysterious in nature, even the Definca Mezixus, a book cataloging the magic and arcane has little information on the barrier. When the amulet shatters, the barrier is either destroyed or weakened, allowing Evets to breach back into reality and bring the Interrirus plague.

## Appearance:

The Holy Guardians stand to be approximately 15-18 ft tall, golden in color and emanates a yellow-orange aura around them. A Guardian is known to have weapons often fused as part of their hands (typically seen as a sword or shield.) The face of these guardians is typically obscured by a helmet but some claims say they have a face like that of Sheighorash's first king, Varg Keltersen. Some alterations made during the casting include more arms or cloven legs like that of a satyr. In the case of the Malformed Guardian, it has been described looking more like an animal hound-like in physique. The last few standing Guardians have taken measures to further protect treasure hunters by growing more armor, adapting to new fight styles and learning general behavior.
