It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Keyleth, a half-elf druid . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, Lady Allura once travelled with an adventuring party that included Lady Kima, Drake Thunderbrand, Sirus, Dohla, and Ghenn. Lady Allura's party sealed Thordak in the Elemental Plane of Fire at the cost of Sirus, Dohla, and Ghenn's lives.
DM: At which point, the dwarf steps up and still has his hand rubbing Allura's shoulder and says, "We knew not what we were doing, other than trying to save it, don't blame yourself."
Player: Allura.
DM: "Yes."
Player: Would you consider us guardians of this city?
DM: "One of many. I believe the guardians--"
Player: Is this because of us?
DM: Allura looks at you dead-on and says, "The only guardians that Thordak would know of would be the ones that sent him away to that plane 15 years ago. This is my fault."
