The Protectors

The Protectors (Also known as 'Keepers') are a collective of people who harness special magical abilities through the use of the ancient, elemental Talismans. Their duty is to keep the realms safe from any danger.

History
Millions of years ago, the ancient prophets created the talismans in order to maintain magical balance between Earth and Ecclesia. They sent three talismans to Earth and the other three to Ecclesia, entrusting them to six people to protect the realms and keep balance. Although Earth and Ecclesia had different Protectors they would all work as a team to keep the realms safe and would frequently travel to each realm to help out. It is unknown who the first set of Protectors were. The role of Protector isn't something a person can choose to be, if a normal person were to try to use the abilities from the talismans it could be deadly. Every Protector is born with a 'birthmark' in the shape of the elemental symbol that they will one day control through the use of the talisman. These people are not inherently magical as people don't tend to be born with magic, although this can happen in rare cases, becoming a Protector is usually genetic however. The majority of people will not inherit their talisman until at least the age of 18, though they do have magical training and can use some talisman abilities from a young age. Protectors have control over one talisman, however it is possible for them to steal the abilities from another Protector by taking their talisman, becoming more powerful. This usually leads to becoming a Corrupted Protector as one person isn't supposed to control so much power. Doing this can result in your powers being stripped from you.

Trivia

 * The current group of Protectors are missing two people, both from Earth. This is due to the fact that Morana became corrupted and kept her talisman as well as stealing the Water talisman from its previous owner after killing them. Therefore the current generation hasn't had the chance to get two new Protectors. It is unknown who these two people would be.
 * Morana singlehandedly destroyed the previous Protectors after becoming corrupted. They were forced to disband after she killed three of them and took another talisman. The ones left had to go into hiding and find the next generation to defeat her after she took over Ecclesia.
 * This is the first time in history this had happened.
 * All the Protectors at the time were pretty young. It wasn't time for the new generation yet as they were still only babies.
