External Interaction & Guardian Role
- World-Stage Role: Recognized as the "Guardians of the Veil", the Order of the Starlight monitored the boundary between the material world and other planes of existence, intervening when dimensional rifts or aetheric imbalances threatened Landorya. They served as the final arbiters of magical disputes among the Ancient Five, their impartiality rooted in the aetheric principle that all elements are interconnected.
- Modern Heirs: The Mystarans maintain the tradition of arcane guardianship from their mist-shrouded homeland of Mystara. The Conclave of the Wise descends directly from the Conclave of Luminaries; the Ministry of Planar Affairs inherits the mandate of the Ministry of Planar Confluence; the Arcane Guardians carry the legacy of the Veil-Wardens.
