The Order of the Guardians is a secret society dedicated to putting dangerous magical items, artifacts, relics, and tomes of arcane lore safely beyond use. Members of the order may take levels in the prestige class Guardian Seeker. The group has bases in Darkon[1], Hazlan[2], Barovia[3], Tepest[3], Mordent, Sithicus, and Markovia[4]. In Hazlan it guards the Iron Flask of Tuerny[2][5], in Mordent it guards the Transubstancial Halo, and in Sithicus it guards the Shadow Serpent. The Watchers at the Gate watch over the Key to the Abyss in Darkon.[1]

Two branches originate in Markovia. Those at The Monastery of the Lost guard the Tablet of Life[4][6], and a sect of the Order known only as The Guardians protected The Tapestry of Dark Souls[4] until is destruction in 735 BC.[7] The latter group disbanded following the destruction of the artifact, with the former head of their organization, Brother Dominic, going on to found the sect of the Order guarding the Iron Flask.[2]

Organization

The Order is a monastic order and a hermetic order. Some sources say this is an order of monks[4], but these refer to the work "monk" in the sense of being a monastic rather than the monk character class. The Guardian Seeker prestige class assumes the ability for divine spellcasting, and the Order of the Guardian Kit assumes membership in the Priest category of classes[4] (a 2nd Edition grouping which included clerics, druids, and specialty priests.)
