Protector
The Serenian Protectors were a religious order of exclusively women in the Age of Serenia. Their primary duty was to cultivate the memory chamber fungus and gather and safeguard the memory globes that were used in the death rites of the Serenian people. The Protectors practiced a highly advanced mysticism that enabled them to enter Dream and communicate with deceased ancestors.
Childhood training in mysticism with the Serenian Protectors greatly influenced Yeesha. Atrus meant for his sons Sirrus and Achenar to have similar training but they did not assimilate the values of the Serenian people and instead researched ways to use their memory-transfer technology as a weapon. When Sirrus escaped from Spire, the Protectors were instrumental in his eventual defeat.
