Heron’s Field Notes

Heron's Field Notes is a piece of New World Lore that tells the story about a researcher in Aeternum trying to discover the secrets of the Ancient Guardians.  The lore pages describe many encounters with the Ancient Guardians and discuss the type of weaponry and attacks they use. Heron also hints at how the Ancient Obelisks were constructed or potentially made by the Ancients, and references the directional positioning of the orbs on the top of the obelisks that are all directed toward the Shattered Obelisk.

Through Heron's Field Notes we also discover some very interesting information about the actual location of Aeternum on Earth, and that Aeternum is in fact the primordial Eden from with all life sprang. So, were the Ancients the first creatures ever to inhabit Earth, and are the Ancient Guardians simply peons guarding much bigger secrets of the Ancients?

The REAL Ancients of New World?

The skeletons roaming the land of Aeternum are said to be Ancient Guardians, but are these Ancient Guardians actually Ancients? The lore pages titled The Vega Bridge & Covenant’s Quest shed some light on this very topic. The Ancient Guardians are said to be heretics and traitors of their own humanity in revering beings like the Ancients and are now eternally stuck in a skeleton form cursed to forever guard the Ancient Ruins.

So, this begs the question who are the Ancients if they aren't the Ancient Guardians? The lore pages also state that the statues around ruins like Arcturus and others of its magnitude indicate the Ancients had four arms and a split face, of which these skeletons that guard the ruins have neither.
