The Guardians

In this folder are the cats who guard this region's magical Landmark sites.

The land these Storkatten inhabit is graced with several Landmark artifacts. There are many of these points of significance, and their importance goes beyond their unnaturally unique appearance. The Landmarks are each places of high magical convergence-- magic congregates and pools there, allowing for any manner of odd happenstance. 

Cats may be able to communicate with those who've passed at Landmarks, see visions or prophecies of the future, or otherwise gain power or knowledge they otherwise would not have access to. Because the Landmarks are so powerful and significant, each has a guardian who is not affiliated with any clan-- a cat who's been overseeing the Landmark for as long as anyone can remember. It is the cosmic purpose of these cats to protect the Landmarks from falling into the wrong paws, and preventing them from being exploited by any one cat. 

The Guardians occupy space in clan territory, but operate outside each clan's rules and leadership. Their presence must be permitted unless the clan seeks to war with the Guardians for sole possession of the Landmark they protect-- a feat which to present day has no record of having been attempted.
