Area Guardian

Area Guardians (領域守護者) are a group of NPCs, who guard a specifically assigned area in the Great Tomb of Nazarick. They control the surrounding territory of a Floor Guardian.

Background
Like the Floor Guardians who manage the defense of the whole floor, Area Guardians guard a certain area appointed to them. These types of guardians were responsible for being in charge of an individual area within a given floor as their domain specifically. As they are large in number and most of them are not very strong, the word "Guardian" usually refers to the Floor Guardians only.

The Undead King Arc
Ainz Ooal Gown ordered the Floor Guardians to report to the Area Guardians about the changes in the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

The Bloody Valkyrie Arc
During the unprecedented event of Shalltear Bloodfallen's brainwashing by an unknown foe using a World Item, forced Ainz to recall majority of Nazarick's forces. To protect the Floor Guardians from being compromised, he went to the Area Guardian of the Treasury, Pandora's Actor, to retrieve the stored World Items to equip his children.

The Lizard Man Heroes Arc
Ainz assigned a duty to the Area Guardian, Pandora's Actor to appraise the values of items his creator obtained from the outside world. Along the way, he also gave an order to the said Area Guardian over changing Nazarick's alarm network to his side.

The Men in the Kingdom Arc
Kyouhukou of the Area Guardians was mentioned to be the one who disciplined Hilma. Later he was assigned to do the same to the Executive Council of Eight Fingers to make them subservient to Nazarick.

The Invaders of the Large Tomb Arc
Kyouhukou of the Area Guardians assisted in testing the Great Tomb of Nazarick's defense systems during an invasion by several teams of workers. In his part, he eliminated the worker group Heavy Masher.

The Pleiades Day Arc
Yuri Alpha made a request to the Area Guardian, Aureole Omega to search for the location of CZ2I28 Delta. As a result, Aureole Omega pinpointed where Shizu is currently located at which was the 6th Floor of Nazarick. With authority granted from Ainz, the Area Guardian informs Yuri that she is given the right to take two of her own servants outside her domain.

The Ruler of Conspiracy Arc
In Albedo's meeting with Princess Renner of the Re-Estize Kingdom, it is revealed that the human princess may be up for promotion to a position equivalent to Area Guardian.

The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom Arc
To support the summoned Evil Lord Wrath and Erich String Orchestra in their upcoming battle with Ainz, the Area Guardian, Aureole Omega was ordered by Albedo to buff the five Greater Doppelgängers ahead of time before the match started.

The Witch of the Falling Kingdom Arc
Due to the increased responsibilities of the Floor Guardians, there were plans to shift some of their responsibilities to the Area Guardians to maintain the internal defense of Nazarick.

Ainz remembers a situation where he had once discussed with the Area Guardians about not needing to have them welcome him back all the time. Each time he tries bringing it up, the Area Guardians' responses would exactly be the same as the one Albedo was giving him right now, always insisted, stating which it was natural for a servant like them to welcome their master’s return.

Once the Sorcerer Kingdom began to subjugate a vast enough territory, Ainz considered the idea of having the Area Guardians to take up responsibility for a wide range of tasks in the future. He felt that perhaps a day will come when even the management of warfare will have to be delegated to someone as them.

Strength
Though most of the Area Guardians are weaker than the Floor Guardians, there are some strong NPCs among them. There are Area Guardians that are optimized for battle are considered to be stronger than some of the weaker Floor Guardians like Demiurge.
