Guardians of Guthix

The Guardians of Guthix are a group of creatures chosen by Guthix himself to guard the most sacred places of the Guthixian religion at the end of the Third Age. According to Mod Osborne, there were originally as many Guardians as standing stones in a druids' circle, totalling eight. Some of the Guardians are blessed with great power and/or wisdom on Gielinor, greater even than certain low-tier gods.

The Balance Elemental was long considered to be a Guardian of Guthix, as Juna refers to it as such, but was confirmed not to be one due to a fundamental difference; the elemental was created by Guthix rather than chosen from his followers.

Guardians

 * Fiara - Guardian of the Fist of Guthix - Fiara is the giant earwig guardian of the Fist of Guthix, a site of powerful magicks that where Saradomin kept the Stone of Jas during the God Wars. Its leaking of energy has made the location a site in need of protection.
 * Juna - Guardian of the Tears of Guthix - Juna is the guardian of the Tears of Guthix cave, an underground spring where Guthix wept his tears for those lost in the God Wars.
 * Valluta - Guardian of the Plane - Valluta is the giant tortoise tasked to stop any threat from other worlds that would attack Gielinor, notably the void pests. Valluta is immensely powerful, and could kill a Pest Queen in one blow, unless otherwise weakened.
 * Grim Reaper - Guardian of Death - Harold Death Esq., or the Grim Reaper, is tasked to regulate life in order to reach balance. He controls the process of respawning and has the ability to expand or shorten the lifespan of mortals in order to prevent or provide death, provided that individual's time has come. Per his role as a Guardian, he cannot randomly commit murders if their time hasn't come; likewise, he cannot save a life if their time has come, as much as he or they may wish it, or revive the dead.
 * Cres - Guardian of Guthix's Cave - Cres is an ancient Guardian, situated in the home of Guthix. He is extremely weak compared to other guardians, but is immensely intelligent, having many powerful bot-like minions which he uses to defend Guthix.
 * Ocellus - Guardian of Order - Ocellus is a guardian, of a race called virii, currently trying to stop the Order of Ascension, an order of former-Guthixians he created in order to try and create a race of humans who would not worship. However, after Guthix's death, they began experimenting on people, hoping to find a way to ascend a man into godhood, creating a new Guthix for them to worship using a gigantic Guthix suit.
 * The player - The World Guardian - The player is appointed World Guardian during the events of The World Wakes, and is told by Guthix himself that they now hold immense power, enough to defend Gielinor against the gods themselves.
