The Warden represents the willingness to stand to defend one's life, home, family, or property. From a parent who gains great strength and bravery to protect their child to the last defenders of a city standing in defense of their home against their enemy the Warden empowers and bolsters those who would defend what is theirs. She is one of the prime gods of the dwarves and her symbols are shown prominently on their works as well as fortresses across the world.
The Warden appears as a dwarven woman clad in masterfully made plate armor with a tower shield that has what looks like the side of a mountain for the front of it, sharp spikes jutting out like the peaks of a mountain with lava moving between the peaks on the shield. Despite her size, her form is that of a dwarf, with an aura that emboldens those who look upon her.

Holy Books & Codes
The Iron Paths
The holy book of the Warden is all about the importance of the strength of character of a person and the willingness to stand up and defend what they hold dear when threatened. It is not the doctrine of a conqueror but those who would not be conquered. It warns against the temptations of corruption such as bribery or sloth allowing evil to prevail.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
A metal shield with a mountain displayed on the front which has smaller points facing forward and flowing lava. Her shield known as 'Crag' is the symbol and it is common to find it on the walls and halls of fortresses across the world.
Tenets of Faith
The cost of safety is vigilance.
When the good do nothing, evil prevails.
Surrendering to corruption erodes the soul and crumbles all bulwarks.
Defend what you hold dear.
Evil preys on those unable to defend themselves, be their shield.
Holidays
Warden's Vigil, the holy day of the Warden is set during winter just as the snow and ice will be picking up more and more. The Vigil is there to give people the strength to endure the winter both mentally and physically. The day is spent doing good deeds and helping others who are less fortunate or infirm to help them endure the winter. That evening communities come together to share a meal with each other in efforts to break whatever hold depression has on others due to isolation and poor weather. It is on the 1st of Frostfall.
