"Zone Keepers" - this faction is one of the factions of legends. This group is engaged in helping stalkers. The point is that the group is scattered across the exclusion zone, and when giving signals for help, the Guardians are the first to come and give signs so that a person can get out of a difficult situation. For their gratuitous help, the Guardians have earned respect and honor from the "Crows" group, they cooperate very well with them. It also happens that they help poor fellow stalkers to fight off large groups of bandits. But in general, all Guardians are very secretive. New members are recruited by the leader himself, there is a fairly tough selection. The group does not enter into open conflicts with other clans and acts only on its own initiative. The main base is located somewhere in a place without anomalies and artifacts, but with an abundance of living creatures, so stalkers rarely wander there. In addition to all this, members of the group take on well-paid tasks of merchants and sell scientists the body parts of mutants, which are full near their base. Income from trade and such tasks is used to maintain the existence of the group.
