Lore

They are the main antagonists of Atlas of Worlds storyline, they are the guardians of the Shaper.

In War for the Atlas storyline, their maps would be occupied by Elder Guardians instead if the players beat all four Guardians of the Void and spread Elder influence to their maps.

Since Conquerors of the Atlas expansion, they do not appear in the epilogue nor on the Atlas (assumed to be beaten like Elder?), but remained accessible from Zana.
