The Grey Wardens are an order of warriors of
exceptional ability dedicated to fighting
corrupted beings by the blight throughout Faerun. They are
headquartered in the very place of their
founding, The Weisshaupt Fortress in
Damara, but maintain a presence in most
other nations as well.
The Grey Wardens are known for ignoring a recruit's
racial, social, national, and even criminal background if they
deem the person valuable in terms of character, ability or
skill.
Despite their small numbers, the Grey Wardens have
been instrumental in defeating each Blight so far, and thus
are vital to the survival of the world as a whole.
Becoming a Warden. It is possible for any Player
Character to become a Grey Warden. There are no strict
prerequisites for this, and it is not tied to class or level. The
only qualification is that a Grey Warden thinks that the
candidate has what it takes. Strength of will and a strong
sense of duty are common attributes but sometimes the
most unlikely candidates end up making the best Grey
Wardens. The current leader of the
Wardens in the Sword Coast, was naught but a street thief in
Waterdeep when he was recruited into the order.
Those chosen go through a period of training. This can
be as long or as short as the Warden trainer desires.
The Joining. The perilous and enigmatic ritual that turns
a recruit into a full-fledged Grey Warden. It is an elite order
and normally only those who have proved themselves are
given the chance to join its ranks.
