Symbols of the Guardians

To the Guardians, symbols were of utmost importance. They weren't only reserved for the tribe leaders, but they were vitally important in transmitting messages that were secretive.

Leaf - Nature and Healing: The leaf marks the path of the healer and the listener. It rustles in the wind with secrets only the gentle can hear. Wherever life grows, the Guardian of the Leaf has walked before.

Spiral - Discovery and Direction: The spiral guides the curious. It turns ever inward and outward, a symbol of journey, both through the forest and within the mind. It is the mark of explorers who never stop seeking.

Drop - Water and Memory: The drop remembers all things. Rain, river, tear. It carries through time. Guardians marked their messages in water's reflection, knowing it would speak again when the time was right.

Flame - Knowledge and Protection: The flame burns not to destroy, but to reveal. It is the light in darkness and the warmth in cold. The Guardian of the Flame kept the tribe's wisdom, hidden in sparks and ash.
