Sacred Keys

When someone is ready to be become a Guardian they will receive a Sacred Key - a shape shifting item that will bond to the Guardian until their death. 
A Sacred Key shifts at the will of the Guardian, each form with a special purpose. The forms are as follows: -Key: The most basic form taken when the bearer is in a state of sleep or contempt. -Ceremonial Staff: Used for sacred rituals and traditions such as Gatherings. -Sword: Used for times of emergencies. The Sword Form is used for protection only, never for malicious intent. -Oath Creature: For times when the bearer may need to seek guidance from their Goddess, the key can take a form of their Oath Creature, which the Goddess can speak to them through. This is a rare form for the Sacred Key to take. -Orb: The use of the orb is a closely guarded secret known only by the Guardians themselves.
