The Seventeen Guardians of the Sky

The Seventeen Guardians of the Sky are the eternal and immortal wardens of the Road. They are the First Travelers. They are the last who saw the sun. Encountering one of the Seventeen grants an exceptional blessing. Encountering one of the Seventeen brings a terrible curse.

Noruu is the First Guardian. The Iron Blade. Noruu is the only one who could cut the Pillars of the World in half. Noruu is the only one who could rend the firmament open and gaze upon the Cosmic Sea.

Hasast is the Second Guardian, the Goldsmith. The first one who has entered the Shard. The one who stood before the Iron God of the Earth as the first one. The one who was granted the power over all metals and ores of the earth. Hasast is the one who has woven the Platinum Thread.

Atarano is the Third Guardian. The Wyrmslayer. The Mightiest One. He is recovering for one thousand years after the fight with the Bestial King.

Inarrdanu is the Fourth Guardian, the Revealing Light. Nothing can hide or be hidden from him. Inarrdanu rejects violence and bloodshed.

Honmno is the Fifth Guardian. The Master of Words. But the Fifth Guardian remains silent. Yet, the most important thing is yet to be written.

Therskai is the Sixth Guardian, the Measurer of the Depths. She knows all the dimensions of everything within the Known Lands. She holds the First Solar Key.

Ghandd is the Seventh Guardian, the Keeper of the Towers. He knows the secrets of the stone and the wood. The ways to find Ghandd are hidden in the oldest monuments of the Road.

Nallt is the Eighth Guardian, the Mourner of Sages. The one who knows all the paths and the passages and the chambers of the earth.

Itage is the Ninth Guardian, the Seventh Star. The one who knows all the secrets of the sky. She holds the Second Solar Key.

Onmoss is the Tenth Guardian. The Bell Founder. He cast the Three Ancient Bells whose sounds keep the gods asleep.

Voraarn is the Eleventh Guardian, the Sorcerer. He attained immortality by studying the First Diagram. He hears every chant and every prayer.

Kenao is the Twelfth Guardian, the Carver of Bones. He knows about every death and every loss. His bone flute puts the dead to sleep.

Aritann is the thirteenth Guardian, the Beholder of Fate. They know every possible outcome of every action taken outside the influence of Chaos. Their word is final.

Peridra is the Fourteenth Guardian, the Bridge Builder. She maintains the length of the Road of the Thousand Gods and prunes its branches. She holds the Third Solar Key.

Unthenn is the Fifteenth Guardian, the Nocturnal Glow. It watches and keeps guard through each lamp, each torch and each candle.

Roloro is the Sixteenth Guardian, the One who Sings to the Moon. No one has seen them for at least seven hundred years.

Xonn is the Seventeenth Guardian, the Moon Knight. Older than mankind. Probably the oldest being alive.

The Known World is warded from the perils of the Outer Wastes by the ancient spell cast by the Guardians. This sorcery is contained in the magical Platinum Thread, encompassing all the human lands.

I will take a break from posting about the Road of the Thousand Gods. The reason is simple, and quite typical - I got distracted by another project! You can check it out HERE.
