Warden of the North

The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.


The intention of this class was to stay reasonably close to vanilla Darkest Dungeon, but provide a chassis for Eddard Stark from A Song of Ice and Fire. He is a commander, guardian, and marks damage dealer. He also comes with a new district, the Weirwood Tree. To avoid cluttering people's districts, there is a separate link here: (Coming Soon)


Jezamine Tan drew the Warden! She did a phenomenal job, and you can find more of her work in the links below:

The Arcanist will be the next class. Whereas this one is very vanilla-oriented, Arcanist will be radically different. 3 stances.


None known at the moment.


I'm finished with front-liners. I'm more interested in making support characters. The Arcanist will double as a support & set-up damage-dealer, and it will be radically different than vanilla.
