The desire to preserve and protect the forest extends beyond the druidic beliefs. Arbor Wardens are individuals who devote their lives to the protection and veneration of the Ironjours of the northern forest of Arrtathas, defending them with their very lives. Deeply rooted in ancient druidic culture and magic, knights of this archetype see it as their sacred duty to protect the land from forces that seek to defile it, as well as seek out and expunge the defilers from the world as well. This archetype employs martial techniques in combination with druidic magic based down from their founders to safeguard their homeland.
