The Nine Guardians of the Mountain to the Moon

The Ancients left a guardian in each of the nine levels of the Mountain to the Moon. Only their names are known in Utolso Varos; some old people still half-remember nursery rhymes in which they feature - all except The Last of Them, of whom no rhymes were ever told. 

1 – The Duke of Doves
2 – The Creeping Calm
3 – The Cold Light of Day
4 – The Silent Maw
5 – The Weapons of Glass
6 – The Thirsty Lady
7 – The Tower
8 – The Chained Prince
9 - The Last of Them

  3. The Last of Them did, however, star alongside Dag Martingale and Pummel Kik-kik in a blockbuster musical that played for 47 weeks in Utolso Varos's famed Widestreet district.
