Guardia Castle is the seat of power for the Kingdom of Guardia, whose claims for most of history included the bulk of Zenan continent. Guardia was founded in 1 A.D.; it is unknown if the castle was also constructed in this year. Regardless, it stood at the latest in Pre-600 A.D., where it protected Truce and pledged protection for Porre, Dorino, and Choras. Consisting of an illustrious throneroom, regal quarters in high towers, stone-reinforced barracks, and a kitchen staffed by the most enthusiastic chefs of the kingdom, it also housed a separate dungeon structure and, by 1000 A.D., an ornate courtroom and treasury. The formal positions within included the ranks of King, Queen, Prince, Princess, and Chancellor, while outside the throneroom, a state lawyer, Judge, Chef, and organization known as the Knights of the Squaretable (headed by the Knight Captain) performed other official and peacekeeping duties. The Knights of the Squaretable, apart from the regents of the castle, were the most visible occupants of the castle, as they were sent on expediary and military missions. Three such efforts include the quest by Cyrus for the Masamune, the defense of Zenan Bridge, and the transport of the Rainbow Shell.
Little is known about most of the rulers who sat upon the throne of Guardia, save for two generations which saw the benevolence of King Guardia XXI and Queen Leene, and King Guardia XXXIII, Queen Aliza, and Princess Nadia. Perhaps implying the nature of his predecessors, King Guardia XXI was a deeply respected man and a well-loved
