The First Warden is the leader of the Grey Warden Order, commanding from their headquarters at Weisshaupt Fortress.

Background[]

Contemporarily, the First Warden is largely caught up in the politics of the Anderfels, as the Grey Wardens in the country are regarded as nobility by the Anders, and have the responsibilities of such position.[1] Because of this, the First Warden offers little guidance to the Order or its local commanders. The First Warden acts largely as a figurehead, relying on the Warden-Commanders to make major decisions within their assigned territories.

Exalted Age[]

The First Warden who lived during the early Exalted Age led the Grey Wardens against the Fourth Blight. In order to evacuate refugees from Kirkwall, the First Warden ordered Isseya to subject the Griffons of Fortress Haine to her modified version of the Joining in order to increase their combat capability.

Once the Blight ended, the First Warden gave the order that any Griffon showing signs of uncontrollable aggression was to be put down.[2]

In 9:31 Dragon, the current First Warden seeks to expand the Order's interest by using the Arling of Amaranthine as insurance that Grey Wardens are needed, Blight or not. Mistress Woolsey is sent to assist the Warden-Commander administrate the arling of Amaranthine. She is in charge of the treasury of the arling. She points out that the First Warden isn't interested in the arling per se, but that having a Warden ruling over a domain creates an interesting precedent for the Order, which can now be regarded as important even when a Blight is not afoot.

By 9:37 Dragon, the First Warden became interested in the Primeval Thaig, which Hawke, Champion of Kirkwall, had ventured to. Because the thaig was farther in the Deep Roads than any other thaig, it was of great interest to the First Warden and an expedition was commissioned. Nathaniel Howe tells this to Hawke if they meet in the Deep Roads.

If Avernus survived the Fifth Blight and was allowed to continue his experiments, the First Warden is aware of this and receives reports of all the discoveries made by the old mage.[3]

The First Warden continues to avoid choosing a side in the Mage-Templar War. Reimas speculates that this may have been exacerbated by the recent death, during a Joining, of a Templar who abandoned the Order for the Wardens. [4]
