Cloudguard

The Cloudguard is a barrier created out of divine essence that encapsulates Zairis and protects it from outside forces. It was created by Ardothun, the Primordial deity of the sky, and is presently overseen and maintained by Morik.

History

The idea of the Cloudguard was conceived by Ardothun in a debate with Rrequtaas on how they would protect Zairis. Rrequtaas initially proposed that his body would house and protect Zairis' life like a dome of armor, but Ardothun argued that he wanted mortals to see something of the beyond rather than be forever encapsulated in tight underground spaces, and made a counter-proposal, in which he would weave a veil of clouds in the uppermost layer of Zairis' atmosphere that would intercept and destroy any foreign object or force.
