"The Maker smiles sadly on his Grey Wardens, so the Chantry says, as no sacrifice is greater than theirs."
The Grey Wardens are an Order of warriors of exceptional ability dedicated to fighting darkspawn throughout Thedas. They are headquartered in the very place of their founding, the Weisshaupt Fortress in the Anderfels, 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.
Cirilla leaves the Circle of Magi and joins the Grey Wardens for escaping the judgment of the Knight- Commander Greagoir because of her friendship with Jowan, a blood mage. Daylen Amell will follow her in this new adventure.
"You will guard them and they will hate you for it. Whenever there is not a Blight actively crawling over the surface, humanity will do its best to forget how much they need you. And that's good. We need to stand apart from them, even if they have to push us a way to make us do it. That is the only way we can ever make the hard decisions." ―Kristoff, Commander of the Grey of Orlais during the Blessed Age
"We will be traveling south through the hinterlands to ruin of Ostagar, on the edges of the Korcari Wilds. It's fittings we make our stand here, even if we face a different foe within that forest. The king's forces clashed with the darkspawn several times, but here is where the bulk of the horde will show itself. There are only a few Grey Wardens within Fereldenat the moment, but all of us are here. This Blight must be stopped here and now. If it spreads to the north, Ferelden will fall."
Note: Next chapter coming in August in the next book: Fifth Blight. The book 2 is online.
