The Northern Guardian is one of the ancient quasi-living constructs located in the Miato Region. Situated in the heart of a labyrinth of glaciers and ice-floes somewhere in the north seas of Miato and concealed by thick mists, it is associated with the winter season and the classical element of water.

Location

To reach the Northern Guardian, one must set off from Galena Town and navigate the waters northwards amidst rapid, dangerous currents. At places, moving ice floes necessitate proper timing to cross safely, while others must be landed on and crossed on foot. Wild Pokémon – both of the swimming sort and of the kinds that one may find resting on ice floes and glaciers – may also impede one's progress. To top it off, visibility is rather low, forcing one to essentially "fly on instruments" by using specialized navigation equipment, making their way towards the only apparent constant in this ever-shifting frozen wasteland: something massive and shrouded in the mists in the distance that can only be barely discerned – until finally, the veil of fog abruptly tears and reveals the Northern Guardian in all its glory - an island-sized construct in the form of a giant turtle – seemingly carved out of the ice of a great glacier intertwined with living marble, veins of icy-blue energy flowing through its form and giving it an ethereal radiance.

Interior

Water flows through elaborate channels and cascades between levels within the Guardian, powering assorted mechanisms. The deeper one travels into the Guardian's interior, the colder the ambient temperatures get and the icier the water becomes. In order to navigate the interior, one must manipulate the velocity and direction of the water flow within it, sometimes freezing it solid in places while unfreezing it and allow it to flow freely in others.

The Heart Chamber

The Northern Guardian's Heart Chamber resembles a resplendent glacial cavern – the glow of the energy within the walls and assorted interface structures casting marvelous patterns of reflection and refraction. The Glyph at the heart of the chamber is protected by an empowered Winterora and a persistently-generated snowstorm which cannot be overridden by any other Pokémon's weather-affecting moves.
