The Guardian system brings experienced players (guardians) and newcomers (apprentices) together under an academy: the guardian passes on experience, the apprentice adapts more easily, and the guardian is honored and rewarded for the contribution.
An academy is established by talking to the storage NPC in town; the founder becomes the guardian. Establishing requires level 60+ and 100,000 gold.
A guardian can found only one academy; each academy holds at most 5 apprentices (below level 39) and 2 guardian assistants (level 40-59).
Registration is done via the academy UI (hotkey L) or the Guardian Matching system, with the founding guardian's approval; an apprentice cannot be registered to another academy. Afterwards, guardians and apprentices show as red dots on the map.
Members receive titles by level:

When an apprentice reaches level 40 (a guardian assistant level 60), the Graduate button in the academy UI (L) activates and graduation is done there; a guardian evaluation window opens on graduation and the graduate is recorded in the guardian's window.
