The Wardens of Evolution, simply called as Wardens, is a forced role bestowed by the Great Tree of Origin. Particularly, these individuals were the last survivors of their kind who attained immortality. Cursed to see their civilization at its doom, they also had no choice but to see the other civilizations end.
Due to the Great Tree's Selection and Rejection process, called Lacrimosa, to watch the world after it wipes out all but one races from the world. The most important requirement to become one of these is to have a pure and bright soul. An insignia will be placed on the chosen's body as a symbol that they were chosen. Each of the Wardens once fought to stop the Lacrimosa but ended up accepting it in the end, as fighting it would be futile.
Usually before a Lacrimosa is descended to a race, the previous chosen Warden will start searching for the next warden. The exceptions are: Hydra and Adol. Hydra, being the first warden, was selected by the Tree directly. Adol was connected with the last warden, Dana, but Dana did not search for him like Ura did to her.
During the true ending, all of the Wardens were freed from their insignia and decided to help Dana watch the new world, while Adol will keep going on various adventures.
All wardens has the Insignia of Warden marked somewhere on their bodies. Hydra on the back of his right hand. Minos on his lower left belly. Nestor on her right side of her neck. Dana and Adol both have their marks on their left shoulders. Ura is the only one whose Insignia was not shown; however, Ricotta's mentioning "All of them has the same mark as Adol and Dana!" suggests that Ura has it somewhere visible.
