Mytilias Port Guard Profession in Hall of Doors - Ustehall | World Anvil

Mytilias Port Guard

"It's not like we are the Guardians of Mytilias. We're just guarding the portal. We stand around the portal room and sound an alert if someone comes through the portal. If they are hostile, we sound the big alarm that can be heard all the way to Bir Kofa."
— Ban Tomis, a portal guard complaining to her fellow guard and overheard by a reporter.
It was the duty of the Mytilias Portal Guards to alert the administration of the portal whenever a traveler journeyed through the portal. When an hostile force came through, they were to sound the alarm. The portal itself was under the ownership of the Abalindi Beholo. They had stationed the guards at the portal. The guards' duty ended abruptly 40,000 years ago with the portal suddenly disconnected and never reconnected.   The Kofa Gini used to be alive with activity. The hustle and bustle of travelers all over the world filled the landmark with a buzz of languages. The door was a magickal portal, ready to transport travelers to another world. The Abalindi Beholos entrusted the Mytilias Portal Guards with the crucial task of keeping the portal safe and functioning seamlessly.   It has been 40,000 years since the portal was last active. It is now silent and lifeless. Over time, as the Mytilians realized the portal would remain closed, the Mytilias Portal Guards slowly faded into obscurity. With no portal left to protect or travelers to guide, the Guards' purpose and direction became obsolete.   Now, the Kofa Gini stands as a haunting relic. The portal an ornate decoration. The magickal resonance faded to almost nothing.   However, the whispers of ancient prophecies steak to a time when the porta shall awaken once more, its hum echoing across the stone chamber. Mages hold onto the belief that their rituals, teachings, and legends are important. They pass them down from generation to generation.
