The Stormgovan Guardian

The Stormgovan Guardian

The island of Stormgova is a cold and hardy place with mighty mountain's, ancient jungles, dark forests, surrounded by relentless and deadly sea's. The people of Stormgova are known to be as cold and hardy as the land they call home. Most travellers disagree with that stereotype though, instead being warm and welcoming to all, be warned though they tell of a being that wanders the isles of Stormgova. Some call it a beast, monster or a guardian. It seems some think it is two different beings, but they would be wrong. The one some call a monster or a beast is just the guardian of Stormgova. She is a nature and balance guardian, some Stormgovans tip the balance and bring her wrath upon the isles.

Poem
The Guardian of Stormgova

She is the land and sea

The soil, the trees

Also that breese

Don't you agree?

You make the flowers bloom

You protect us from our doom

Stormgova will keep on fighting

If it's the last thing we'll do

Beliefs and practices
The Guardian will bless you with light if you:


 * 1) Respect nature,
 * 2) replant lost forest
 * 3) replant sappling after cutting down a tree

The Guardian forgives all those who have sinned

History
The history of the Stormgovan guardian is not well known, and most is lost to history. What is known has been told to the maiden by the guardian, and is remembered by the old ones. We know the Guardian has been here since Stormgova came to be. The tale of the Maiden is well known in Seal_Cove seeing as that is where the maiden lived before becoming what she is today and you'll still find her walking around, helping the people of Seal_Cove to this day. The Maiden is always happy to teach people about The Stormgovan Guardian in her temple, always teaching to respect nature, warning them to never pillage the lands of Stormgova or you'll bring the Guardians wrath upon yourself and your town. Once that happens all that will remain is a ruin carved into land.



The Maiden
The Maiden is the only person that is able to see and commune with the Guardian, there has been only one Maiden so far in Stormgovan history, that was a woman called Onixsaphire. She became the Maiden on a stormy night in Seal_Cove, she was led out of the safety of her home, through the gates, and into the storm. She was found many hours later in the middle of the night by SirSealX who had fought through the storm to find her, in the place they had met so many years ago, but when SirSealX had found her she had changed from the cute and innocent girl he had once known, into the Maiden.

The Death of the Guardian
After Stormgova's nature got destroyed, she died. Without any nature she couldn't restore any energy. A few days later she passed. The maiden disappeared from the world with the spirit's abscents. The people of stormgova stopped believing in her. Most converted to Soleviel. But a few people still believed she could come back but without any nature, that was impossible. Mansmile was a devout believer and after returning to his homeland of Samhälle. He knew the Guardian could live again. He signed a contract with Ornn Ludwig to preserve the forests of stormgova. This was controversial since the Ludwig family burned down a temple a few years ago. Despite everything the trees were not protected and Mansmile got a little bit of hope to resurrect the Guardian.
