"The Guardians"
In times beyond most historic record, there is a constant myth in multiple cultures... one that speaks of an ancient power in the world from the past known as "The Five Guardians."
Skoros
One of the five ancient spirits that once protected Auriga, this quick and dangerous Guardian of Dust was attuned to the planet's magical currents. Though it was imprisoned by the Endless, some wait for the chains of the Endless to fade so that this Guardian of Dust will be free to balance the world of Magic.
Fotios
Linked to the primeval force of fire, Fotios is a fast and deadly Guardian that was held in chains by the Endless. Now alive and aware, seeking a cause, it watches across the vast landscapes of Auriga. This Guardian is hard to reach as it is rumored to be buried in the depths of active volcanos.
Gios
The Guardian of Earth, as tough and solid as rock itself, spent a millennia in chains forged by the Endless. It has awoken and freed itself, and can once more sense all that moves in or across the planet.
Neros
This ancient Guardian, both tough and deadly, was deemed too dangerous by the Endless. Confined for millennia but finally free, it once again listens to the echoes of the present and the past.
Atmos
Adept at tracking the winds and scents of Auriga, Atmos is another one of the ancient spirits that had imprisoned by the Endless. Now that those chains are gone, the tough and dangerous Guardian of Air is free to act as it will.
Lore
There are older and greater things in the universe other than the Endless whose few hundred centuries barely scrape the surface of history. What of those older entities? Those other forces? Did they disappear before the arrival of the Endless or could the Endless, at the height of their power, have contained and controlled them? Now that the Endless have faded or moved on, might some of these elder beings suddenly rise up again…?
