I don’t know why, but I had the idea of writing these descriptions from the perspective of the Guardians, assuming that they were sentient machines, perhaps created by the same people who created the monuments themselves.

They’ve likely been down there for some time, that can’t possibly be good for them.

They’ve begun to deteriorate, it’s becoming hard to think for them.

The Elder Guardians are surely the oldest. They’ve likely had it the worst.
