The preservers are ancient creatures that evolved within the walls of the Palace of the High Ones from insect-like animals into colorful, bewinged, semi-sentient beings. They are as immortal as the elves and are protected by thick, leather-like exoskeletons, making them nearly indestructible. The preservers are so connected to the Palace that they can locate it anywhere on the World of Two Moons.

Preservers produce a sticky webbing that will put anything wrapped by it into suspended animation, unaffected by the passage of time. They serve as scouts and guards, and use their webbing to preserve food and protect wounded elves. They are unwaveringly loyal but have their own morality and sense of right and wrong.

Though they differ much more in appearance than personality, Petalwing is the bossiest and is considered their leader.
