A creature that uses a teleportation ability within the aura's emanation or enters it via a teleportation ability must succeed a DC 38 will save or become Sickened 1 and have its destination changed to a point of the radiant warden's choosing within the emanation.

Any encounters with adamantine golems, guthallaths, or radiant wardens in Numeria are with ancient robotic versions of these creatures. In encounters with them, describe them as having more technological aspects.

The enigmatic and strange radiant wardens were constructed thousands of years ago to protect observatories and scholars against the incursion of alien aggressors from the Dominion of the Black.
