Mana Landmarks

Mana Landmarks are important locations in Volo where most of the Mana are absorbed, replenished, and stored. Created by the 8th God, Volo, they served as lifelines to the world and the home of the Mana Guardians, who guard them against anyone who plans to abuse or destroy them.
Originally secluded away from many civilizations except the country of Signatio, many scholars and later, the monarchy of Lucidus and Medius made a pact with the Guardians called the Union Bound to aid them in protecting the Landmarks during the first Mana Conference.
So far, there are 4 known Mana Landmarks and their Guardians (with rumors of a 5th Guardian that acted as a mediator and representative) officially recorded:

• Tested Wilds - Guarded by Bai Hu, located near Initio and Awakened Grasslands
• Bright Rocks - Guarded by Suzaku, located in Mera Desert
• Glacier Woods - Guarded by Genbu, located near the Gazing Tundra
• Cosmos Ruins - Guarded by Seiryuu, located in the Pellego Plains

Not much was known, but rumors stated that if one of the Mana Landmark is destroyed, it may cause an imbalance, and if all of them are destroyed, it may cause the world's end. The only time they were almost destroyed was during the Summoned War where soldiers almost deprived most of the Mana and other resources for their battles.
Due to this and the Guardians' pact with the government and monarchy, laws against vandalism and abuse of Mana Landmarks were created with punishments includes a life sentence or worse, death.
