Hm... there are seven of us. There are lesser guardians like the adepti of Liyue, but those aren't quite the same.

[she shrugs .]

Many of my fellow archons don't rule in a traditional way. They let their people rule themselves, and act as guardians should anything threaten their countries. Myself and only a couple others have our hands in our country's affairs... though even I don't directly deal with it either, for the most part. I have a puppet for that.
