Description
An Ashbark Guardian is what happens when an ancient forest refuses to die.
These towering sentinels stand 12–18 feet tall, shaped like hulking treants but hardened by catastrophe. Their bodies are formed from blackened trunks and split heartwood, as though once burned to cinders — yet something within them never allowed the flame to finish its work.
Their bark is charcoal-dark and cracked with faint internal embers, glowing dull orange in the seams like a dying fire that will not go out. When they move, ash drifts from their shoulders like slow-falling snow. Their limbs creak with the sound of splitting timber and grinding stone, and each step leaves a smoldering print in soil or grass.
