|Introduction=The Lorewardens are the stewards of memory, civic law, and ancestral continuity in [[Orasian]] society. Based in [[Kar-Thal]] and active throughout the sacred districts of [[Kel-Siruun]], they are responsible for inscribing, interpreting, and preserving every major civic decree, genealogical record, and resonance event within the realm of [[Terasil]]. More than scribes, Lorewardens are tonal guardians of Oras’s will—ensuring the past remains harmonically aligned with the present.

More than scribes, Lorewardens are tonal guardians of Oras’s will—ensuring the past remains harmonically aligned with the present. Lorewardens also compose half the [[Council of Stone]].
|History=The Lorewardens emerged shortly after the founding of [[Kar-Thal]] in the [[Era of Isolation]], when oral transmission of ancestral knowledge proved insufficient for the increasing complexity of civic life. Their order was formalized during the early deliberations of the [[Council of Stone]], with the establishment of the [[Ashlar Vaults]] as their sacred archive.

During the [[Great Erosion]], Lorewardens led expeditions to salvage memory-stones and law-tablets from collapsing districts, often embedding themselves in dangerous fault zones to preserve Orasian continuity. Their role deepened with the introduction of memory-oaths and harmonic law-binding.

|Structure and leadership=The order is led by the **Senior Archivist Circle**, composed of seven master Lorewardens selected through resonance lineage, stone trial, and oath-line evaluation. Below them are tiers of Archivists, Record-Binders, Stone-Chiselers, and Tonal Interpreters. Apprentices are inducted through the Rite of Echoes, in which they must harmonize with a living record-stone.

Each Lorewarden specializes in one or more disciplines: ancestral lineage, law-stone carving, resonance mapping, or decree harmonics. Promotions are rarely discussed aloud and often marked only by a shift in stone-glyph attire.
