 | | Guardia is lifted straight out of Western European history and the Middle Ages; a cathedral exists, presumably with monastic and holy orders as seen in the various Nuns of the world, and knights preserve the law and follow a code of chivalry best exemplified by Cyrus and Frog. |
 | | Manoria cathedral is a relic, an old place of worship that might hearken back to the days of people like the old Celts; note that there is no cross in it, thus it has been out of use for a long time. |
 | | Also, as a final capstone to the argument, the term of cathedral is meant to be the church where a bishop sits; bishops are a Christian concept, and thus too are cathedrals, echoing down to Guardia itself. |
