Becoming a Warden. It is possible for any Player
Character to become a Grey Warden. There are no strict
prerequisites for this, and it is not tied to class or level. The
only qualification is that a Grey Warden thinks that the
candidate has what it takes. Strength of will and a strong
sense of duty are common attributes but sometimes the
most unlikely candidates end up making the best Grey
Wardens. Duncan, who eventually became the leader of the
Grey Wardens in Ferelden, was naught but a street thief in
Orlais when he was recruited into the order.

Those chosen go through a period of training. This can
be as long or as short as the Warden trainer desires. It is
uncommon for characters of less than level 6 to be chosen
for the Joining, the perilous and enigmatic ritual that turns
a recruit into a full-fledged Grey Warden. It is an elite order
and normally only those who have proved themselves are
given the chance to join its ranks.

If you become a Grey Warden, it will be a major event in
the game. You will play through your training period and
the Joining. If you make it and become a Grey Warden, you
gain the following feat:
