Sacred Tree Guardian

The Sacred Tree Guardian is a special position in the Alzer Commonwealth. It is normally chosen by the Preistess, and is meant to protect the Sacred Tree.

Choosing of a Guardian
Choosing a Guardian as typically left to that generation's priestess. The guardian is whoever the priestess recognizes as the strongest person, most suited to protect the tree, as such the guardian normally comes from one of the Six Noble families, with Noelle's father being the first ever exception and Leon being the second.

Leon's case was somewhat unique as he was chosen by the Sacred Tree Sapling and not the fully grown tree. As the Sapling was still young and vulnerable, it prioritized its own safety over picking a priestess, leading Leon to be chosen as a guardian before Noelle was chosen as the priestess.

The guardian and the Priestess have always married in the past.

Known Guardians
There are two known Sacred Trees, the fully grown Sacred Tree of Alzer and the Sacred Tree Sapling found by Leon, and each can choose its own Guardian.
