In-game description

This enormous Elder Dragon preserved the Sacrosanctum's ecosystem 200 years ago, earning it the title of "Sentinel," but it vanished after the Sacrosanctum was destroyed during the Rift War.

Verbatim from the description the game shows for Aenshin, as transcribed by the Monster Hunter Wiki.
