Path of the Grave Warden
The rage of a Grave Warden is something to be feared. It comes without any warning and leaves only silence behind. Grave Warden's have learnt how to channel their rage in a more productive way. They are known for turning their rage into focus, determination and sheer will to complete their task. When a Grave Warden goes into a rage there is no sound and the air grows cold, like the end of life or passing of ones soul.
