Spirit Warden Rank/Title in Etheriel | World Anvil

Spirit Warden

The spirit warden is selected by the Spirit Tree as its protector and has the duty to protect it at all cost while also taking the leading seat within the Spirit Tree Organization. They are typically surrounded by a group of guardians and servants who support the warden in their task and everyday life.

Qualifications

Anyone holding the title Nature Warden might be chosen to become a spirit warden. In sporadic cases, there might be an individual selected that neither is a warden nor holds the title Nature Warden but this was only reported for times where the previous spirit protector died due uncertain circumstances.

Appointment

The person chosen by the Spirit Tree will see a change in their nature warden mark. It will get bigger, sometimes feature more colors or emit a faint glow, and seems to develop a mind of its own like a living creature. This might manifest in an ever-changing or moving mark. In the case of a chosen one that doesn't hold the Nature Warden title, the mark will newly appear somewhere on the body.   After the change or newly formed mark is detected, there are two possible ways one can initiate the appointment as a spirit warden:
  1. The person immediately or at least timely reports to one of the Brave Spirits.
  2. The person waits until the Brave Spirits head out to search for the next spirit warden in line.
  Several administrative and organizational processes follow the appointment initiation, such as moving into the immediate region of the Spirit Tree if not already the case and informing all warden, nature warden, and political heads throughout Etheriel about the change.
