Southern Guardian

A Southern Guardian is a guardian entity of the wildlands of The Veiled Expanse; the southern reaches of southern Enokk, an area hidden by fogs of incomprehension, seperated from the rest of the world by a veil knowledge can never cross. Southern Guardians are universally beings capable of driving off monsters and calamity from the area they protect. The majority of them guard a singular area, usually a village, town, or in the particularly powerful cases, a city or even a tiny country. The bigger areas such as towns may have vilalges that are also protected, and in a similar fashion, cities may have towns, and countries may even have several cities, though there are very few countries present within this land. Most Southern Guardians inhabit the dominion they guard, and they almost universally possess near absolute power politically and socially within their dominion, though there are exceptions. Southern Guardians possess certian universal traits thanks to the common belief of the people in the region:

Their mere presence keeps most monsters at bay

They are empowered through the rituals that honor them and the faith and prayers given to them

They slowly grow in power the longer they protect their dominion

They keep the woods at bay in an area that scales with their power

They gain resistance to decay, aging slower, needing less sustenance, growing resistant to disease and even finding themselves more resistant to damage

Few even know what The Veiled Enigma is in this context, and even fewer know that the truth is that it is the god of incomprehension, stagnation and disbelief, and that the "fog" surrounding this land is a manifistation of one of its greatest angels, tasked with containing a danger to its domain within this land.

Known Guardians

The following are the known guardians in the region so far. Many of them are a work in progress, and have not been filled in in full. For most of them, the text has been ai generated, with the prompt being a concept I made, and with tweaks or regenerations based on a back and forth for many of those I consider more interesting concepts. The first few are more heavily ai generated than the rest, as is seen with their rather generic names and concepts. The guardians are a backdrop, minor details that are of little import until interacted with by something more important in the world, and as such will likely get filled in with details, plot points or twists and possibly better names (for those whose names are terribly generic) when or if I ever focus on them.
