Weapon: Greatsword
Specializations: Madness; Guardian; Inferno
The Warden channels the essence of their existence, coursing through their veins like a raging river, transforming their very lifeblood into a wellspring of unyielding ferocity on the battlefield. Brandishing their towering Greatsword, they become an unstoppable tempest, their strikes inflicting devastation upon their adversaries.
As the earth quakes beneath the weight of their steps, the Warden's primordial instincts surge forth, granting them an indomitable resilience that withstands even the most savage onslaughts. They retaliate with a wrathful vengeance, each blow infused with the unstoppable surge of their soul, a torrential force that defies all opposition.
Wardens possess the ability to delve into the realm of Madness, embracing the chaotic maelstrom to shield their allies and unleash ruin upon any who dare impede their path. Alternatively, they may tread the path of the Guardian, wielding a Divine Sword that draws upon the radiant power of the sun and the ethereal glow of the moon, obliterating foes and safeguarding companions with equal fervor. And finally, the Warden may choose to embark on the path of the Inferno, wielding a blazing Greatsword that metes out divine retribution, reducing their targets to smoldering ashes.
Indeed, the Warden's unwavering dedication to their craft is a testament to the very essence of martial arts itself. Through arduous years of training and unyielding discipline, they have harnessed the raw potential of their life force, transmuting themselves into an unassailable juggernaut. Each sweeping arc of their Greatsword serves as a resounding proclamation, a stern warning to their adversaries that they are not to be trifled with. The Warden's unwavering resolve to safeguard all they hold dear knows no bounds, leaving no stone unturned in their quest to protect and preserve.
