The lanceryn were originally the '''Ancient Guardians''' or '''Guardians of Ancient Sins''',{{book ref|sa3.5|16}} tasked with the keeping of the [[Dawnshard]] underneath [[Akinah]]. Like all greatshells, the lanceryn were enormous. It is likely they could fly and bonded [[mandra]]s. They, like the modern larkin, had the ability to feed on [[Investiture]]. At the fall of their species, the [[Sleepless]] took over their role protecting the Dawnshard. Some hordelings had bred with lanceryn prior to their fall, thus passing on the ability to feed on Investiture, albeit in a limited manner.{{book ref|sa3.5|19}}
 
It is commonly believed that the lanceryn died off during the [[scouring of Aimia]], to the dismay of those who had harvested their [[gemheart]]s. They were the last creature known to produce gemhearts of large size prior to the discovery of the [[chasmfiend]]s on the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|sa1|36}} However, it appears that the lanceryn live on in some way in [[larkin]]s.{{wob ref|6497}}{{wob ref|14321}} The [[Sleepless]] [[Nikliasorm]] believes that [[Chiri-Chiri]], a larkin, is an Ancient Guardian in her own right. It also says that lanceryn are now called larkinslarkin.{{book ref|sa3.5|19}} They are "kind of the same species."{{wob ref|14321}} Although there is some relationship between the two, it is unclear as of yet exactly what that relationship is.
 
In the undersea caverns of Aimia, there is a room containing six greatshell skulls made of carapace, presumably belonging to lanceryn. They appear to turn to face [[Rysn]] while she is in a nearby cavern.{{book ref|sa3.5|19}}
