Grove Warden

In the fertile fields and ancient hedgerows surrounding the city of Honeybrook, nature and civilization thrive in harmony. Grove Wardens first emerged there—fighters who draw strength from the land itself to protect their people and the land that sustains them. Though the tradition began in Honeybrook, its techniques have spread to farmlands, forests, and frontier communities across Illadrya. Trained to hold their ground and control the flow of battle, a Grove Warden uses living terrain to hinder enemies and shield allies, standing as a rooted sentinel amid the chaos of war.

The Effects of this subclass are considered "Primal" in addition to Arcane if you so choose.
