Wardens are a paragon class of Nature Guardians. Think of the clay soldiers found in the Chinese Emperors tomb, but alive not golems. They are melee class often found in defense of a Natural Resource or set to guard outside a city or occasionally even a tomb. They can have 1 Lead, two lieutenants and trainees per Realm. They can come from any warrior or priest class combination. Assassin can not be one of the classes to attain this paragon.
They wear armor like a warrior but wooden rather than metal. They shun metals if at possible, developing techniques to hone wood to be as strong as steel. This technique is used to develop both armor and weapons. Weapons would then be made of such as well. AC 3 is therefore allowed. They can use shields if they so choose. It is not uncommon for Warden weaponry to be aflame.
They are masters of both fire and wood. Their wooden creations are thus inflammable. They can use any weapon but typically prefer melee combat.
They employ a variety of magics based upon Fire and Wood. These include such things as creating walls of fire or commanding the surrounding trees to ensnare an opponent.
As Warden is a Paragon class it can only be Unlocked by achieving (but not attaining) Archetype status is either Warrior, Ranger, Druid, Shaman or Cleric.

Druid/Ranger: Pathfinder
A well versed master of nature and elements. Melding together the elemental powers of the druid with the tracking and hunting skills of a ranger allowing for them to defend nature with skills of stalking while bringing nature itself to the fore to bring down those they deem a threat.
Shaman/Ranger: Spirit Walker
Spiritual naturalists that meld together the use of ancestors along with the potent hunting abilities.

Few places are out of reach for this combination even contacting their ancestors or spirits to better help them defend themselves and that which they guard.
