Warden of the Forgotten

In the sprawling ruins and overgrown wilderness of Mythos Earth, many threats lurk—both visible and invisible. A Warden of the Forgotten is a specialized Ranger who has mastered the art of blending old-world knowledge with survival instincts to protect against ancient threats that have re-emerged and new horrors born from the world's ruin. These wardens safeguard the crumbling remnants of the past while warding off the corrupted elements of the present.

Wardens of the Forgotten often serve as advisors or guardians for communities that have settled near ruins or other sites of historical significance. They find themselves at the crossroads of history and the present day, balancing the need for survival with the preservation of the old-world knowledge that could prove crucial for the future. Their reputation is one of mystical wisdom and fierce protectiveness, making them honored figures in many post-apocalyptic societies.
