What's A Guardian?
Guardians in Faerûnside story
Having just slain every troll in De'Arnise keep, the party headed back towards Amn. Night fell and Amanda called for a much-needed rest. Jaheira set about gathering dead wood for a fire. Aerie and Edwin prepared their spells for the next day. Nalia worked to get dinner ready. Anomen set up the tents. Instead of helping, their glorious leader, Amanda, went off a small distance, sat down on a log, and started playing a flute. Amanda was a little pretentious and a little egotistical, but she was a good leader. Having three clerics and one druid in the party, Amanda was the only one to cast any actualhealing spells, those being few in number. Amanda tried hard to help people out, even if Edwin got a little bit miffed. The song Amanda played on her flute was quiet, but it sounded like it could pierce through time and space. Eventually, Anomenfinished with the tents and sat down beside Amanda. After the notes of the song died out, Anomen quietly asked a question.
"Miss your brother?"
"Sometimes."
"You will see him again sometime. May I ask a question m'lady?"
"Sure." Amanda looked off into the night sky. She already knew which question was coming.
"What are you? Begging your pardon, but you look Half-Elven, yet Jaheira has hinted that you are more than the Half-Elven Bhaalspawn people see you as."
Amanda sighed. "I suppose you have a right to know as much as anyone."
"Eons upon eons ago," Amanda began, "A group of beings called the Hierarchy, saw time dying in the multiverse. They then chose from among the universes select individuals and promoted them above the normal worlds. They named these beings: Guardians. Guardians are protectors of the time-streams and carry an element of light or dark nature. Each Guardian has unique powers according to his or her element. The end result was a group of multiverse traveling beings that can change time streams and defy continuity. I am one of these Guardians…" Amanda then pondering something. "AND DON'T CALL ME A BHAALSPAWN!"
Anomen runs away from a very angry Cleric wielding an enchanted wooden flute.
