Guardian of Conduct: Limsa, Pont Ciel. The Guardian of Conduct’s Crystal can be found at the most northeastern point of Limsa’s cliffs. Surrounded by a wide green field, this shale moon gate stands in solitude by the edge of the highest cliff. The Guardian Crystal, fused with this gray moon gate, glows from cracks and crevices a solid red. Known for being quite windy, it’s been long recommended that those who visit this holy site venture no closer to the cliffside than the moon gate.

Guardian of Strife: Lona's Hollow, Cerania. At the eastern edge of the village, a singular pathway winds into the depths of Cerania’s swamp. A short walk into the eerie silence will bring the adventurer to a wide-canopied tree hidden in the middle of the humid forest, the base of its trunk hidden beneath murky water and its bark plastered with vibrant green moss. It’s in the areas that the moss does not cover, in wide gashes in the trunk and on the verdant leaves, that evidence of a Guardian Crystal can be seen - it glows a steady blue, its light spilling across any who venture near.

Guardian of Accord: Dolumar, Medina. To the east of the main village, visible from most of its domed houses, a vibrant oasis rests in the desert. Verdant trees with large, sweeping leaves surround a preternatural water basin. With crystalline waters that reach to the withers of an average-sized horse at its center, this large basin is perpetually cold. At the heart of it, resting on a redrock spire that just barely reaches over the water’s surface is the Guardian Crystal of Accord. At 30 feet in height, this large green crystal glows steadily, splashing its light upon the water and surrounding oasis. At night, its glow can even be seen from the village of Dolumar.

Guardian of Twilight: Lightwood, Twilight Grotto, Emerraine. An underground forest of massive, teakwood trees. The bark of each tree is filled with microscopic, luminescent creatures that pulse in an array of colors, setting this twilight woodland alight with neon rainbows. No natural paths traverse this unexplored woodland, and interstices of clearings are the only true breakage of the deep and endless forest. And when you look up, it is impossible to tell where the canopy ends and the faux sky begins. At the heart of the lightwood rests a lake that drives into stone. Though no true Crystal stands sentinel here, it is here that the Guardian of Twilight heeds the calls of their disciples, and occasionally allows them a glimpse of the shard that houses their power, looking very much like the roiling eye of a galactic black hole.

The Allmother: Queensthrone, Emerraine. At the very heart of Queensthrone rests a temple. Dilapidated, crumbling, and in sad disrepair, there are still some aspects remaining that hint to its past extravagance. Not many residents of Queenstrone visit this area anymore, despite the fact that the entirety of the city was built around it for some reason of unknown importance, for fear of injury from the decrepit, tumbledown surroundings. At its very center, peeking out from the ruins, rests a cracked and forlorn saffron Crystal. This massive insipid gem stands upon a shattered marble pedestal and reaches approximately 75 feet into the sky, beautiful in its own broken way.
