Warden

The Protectorate was an order dedicated to enforcing a rigid, unforgiving system of laws, in an attempt to slow the seemingly inevitable rise of the Magelords. Though the order itself was disbanded long ago, Wardens such as Karma still uphold its tenets… and guard its many secrets.

The Wardens are a sect of those who choose to don the armor of the Protectorate. Wardens hail from all corners of the world; so long as one holds fast to one's pledge, then one is a Warden. Gragas found purpose in this calling, and found camaraderie in his fellow Wardens, who welcomed him—all of him—with open arms.

The Protectorate was an order dedicated to enforcing a rigid, unforgiving system of laws, in an attempt to slow the seemingly inevitable rise of the Magelords. Though the order itself was disbanded long ago, Wardens now don their armor as they lie in wait for the opportunity to strike against the descendants of their ancient enemy.

Though the rigid laws, empires, and political turmoil that lead to the Rune War have since faded into antiquity, the tales of legendary battles fought on the Fields of Justice are kept alive by the remnants of the Magelords and Protectorate. The Marauders and Wardens continue their ancestors' legacy of war and animosity, despite how removed they are from those initial conflicts.
