Guardians Of The Beam

The Guardians of the Beams keep watch over the six beams that support The Dark Tower. Each Guardian matches up with a Guardian at the Portal on the other end of the Beam, and at the point where all the Beams meet is the Dark Tower.

The twelve Guardians are Turtle, Bear, Hare, Fish, Wolf, Elephant, Rat, Bat, Lion, Horse, Eagle, and Snake.

Maturin, the Turtle, is considered the most powerful, or significant, of these.
