[[The Guardians of the Four Directions]] are powerful deities that serve as protectors of the world. They are often referred to as the ''''Totems'''', although 'Totems' can also refer to other [[Shaman|other guardian spirit deities]].

= The Legend =

''"Legends speak of the four totem animals: Chung ryong, the Blue Dragon; Baekho, the White Tiger; Ju jak, the Great Bird; Hyun moo, the Black Turtle. It is said that the most powerful, devoted, and clever persons can master the ways of the totem animals and tap into their great power. It is believed that, because of the dedication required to acquire complete understanding of the totem animals, only non-subpath walkers can achieve this lofty goal. ''

''Each animal favors one path and each animal can grant at least one spell of great power to chosen followers of its path. So claim the legends. But who among the mortals remembers the ways of the totem animals? Are these secrets myths or will they be unearthed in time? I have spoken with all within the Nexus and no one remembers their ways. But perhaps ancient memories shall be recalled when the Great Shift is complete. And doubtless, the challenges that must be overcome to attain such mastery are great. Will any be mighty enough to succeed?"''

= Impact of the Four Totems in Gameplay=

When you first create your character, one choice you have is to choose which of the four totem gods you will worship. There are four: Ju jak the phoenix, Chung Ryong the dragon, Hyun Moo the turtle, and Baekho the tiger.

Each Totem also has a [[Totem Time]] during which the followers of that God experience certain bonuses.

Players that do not wish to join Player-controlled [[Subpaths]] can elect to instead join Non-player controlled Subpaths that are empowered by the [[Guardians of the Four Directions]].
