From Bestiary 3, the Radiant Warden has the Gatekeeper Aura ability:
"A creature that uses a teleportation ability within the aura’s emanation or enters it via a teleportation ability must succeed a DC 38 Will save or become sickened 1 and have its destination changed to a point of the radiant warden’s choosing within the emanation. On a successful save, the creature arrives as intended but is still sickened 1."
Questions on this:
Is the destination point of the teleport chosen once, or is it done on a case by case basis? Does the Radiant Warden simply designate a single place where all teleporters end up, or can it decide on a case by case basis for each teleport that happens?
If the latter, does this imply that the Radiant Warden can detect any act of teleportation within the aura? If it has to decide where a teleport is redirected to, presumably that means that it knows that someone attempted to teleport, even if it can't detect them otherwise.
Does the use of a teleportation ability within the aura apply to the source location of the teleport, the destination location, or both? The wording would seem to apply that it only applies if the creature using the teleportation ability is within the aura at at the start of the teleport, which means it wouldn't redirect someone teleporting from outside the aura to within it.

"A creature that uses a teleportation ability within the aura’s emanation or enters it via a teleportation ability..."
The warden chooses where any creature teleporting within or into the aura ends up. Someone trying to Dimension Door away from the Warden may end up right next to them. A party trying to Teleport into the Warden's area may end up scrambled, and possibly even locked in cages or on top of traps at the Warden's choosing. And yes, the Warden would be automatically aware of any teleportation within the aura.
