Dusk Warden by

# Dusk Warden - Ranger Subclass

*The Dusk Wardens originated in the elven communities, their primary purpose was to protect the communities from the dangers that appear in the dark.  Over the years, the Dusk Wardens began experimenting in Alchemical skills to improve the survivability of their job.  With these improvements, the Wardens learned that they no longer needed to travel as a group to take out the abominations that prefer the darkness.  They became solo protectors, primarily working alone or with their apprentice.  Being selected for apprenticeship is a high honor but a difficult task for the delicate elves, less than 1 in 5 would survive the training. <br>
When the first Human Dusk Warden, Prindle, was taken on as an apprentice, it almost seemed to be considered a joke amongst the Silinari.  But the jokes turned to praise when, as an apprentice, he slays a Fiend that took out half a dozen experienced Wardens.  The survivability of a human as a Dusk Warden caused the elves to change their views on how they would select their apprentices.  They started taking on human apprentices, only after they found their elven successor.  A little better suited to the task than the elves, the survivability of a human apprentice was better than 1 in 3.  After training, the Human would go out into the world, confront the darknesses found, and train their own successor.*<br><br>
