As stated before, the Forest itself is more than alive, having a spiritual connection to specific bloodlines created by its very power. It is with this connection that the families within these lines could communicate with the Forest and carry out its will; protecting those of supernatural background and even sheltering those lost within their own worlds. Over time, many have come to reside within the Forest, vowing to protect it and agreeing to coexist with its inhabitants. Though unfortunately, during times of such light and happiness came great times of despair. There were many occurrences in which the Forest was attacked- targeted for its magic and the beings which dwelled deep inside. It was for this reason that the families were made into guardians; sworn to protect and fight against such selfish beings who dared try to disrupt such tranquility. The Forest itself also assisted; it became harder to reach, those who were not deemed worthy of its prosperity would become lost within an irreversible maze.
Unfortunately, as time went on, only one member of the original bloodlines remained. The sole guardian and chosen ruler of the Forest remained vigilant in the fight against outsiders; protecting the original inhabitants while also using her power to ward off any in search of their location. It was not until well over a millennium that the spirits of the Forest reached out to her once more, urging her to continue its original purpose; a sanctuary for all those lost. It was a large decision, one of which took some debate and consideration considering those at risk. However in the end? It was decided the Forest shall be used for those on the outside to seek refuge. Trails marked with white runes shall lead the way to homes set aside for them and it was the duty of the guardian to see this through.
Though it seemed like a simple task, having to maintain the entire Forest along with building and maintaining the sanctuary kept this guardian busy. It was after watching her struggle to balance each task that the spirits of the Forest reached out to her yet again, urging her to do something never heard of before; assign more guardians of her choosing. The idea in and of itself something that she was against until her work began to pile up and new beings began to enter her territory. Eventually, the choice was made, though much to her surprise she did not only gain guardians, but two claimed daughters as well.
