Among the surviving enclaves, certain groups took on the role of guardians of the prophecies. These guardians were often warriors, mages, and clerics who had pledged their lives to protecting the knowledge of the adventurers and ensuring that the prophecies were not forgotten. They trained rigorously, preparing themselves for the day when the adventurers would return and lead the final battle. The guardians also sought out those who showed potential to become the next generation of heroes, believing that the adventurers might require new allies in their quest to save the world.
