History
Overview
Though their ability to detect Darkspawn was a crucial talent, this could also be a hindrance as the tainted creatures were likewise able to sense the presence of a Grey Warden. Older Wardens were also able to understand the Archdemon as it communicated with their horde.
A critical element of becoming a member of the Wardens was a ritual known as the Joining. This was a secret kept within their order and not known to outsiders or even newly taken recruits. This was a brief ritual though one that required a small element of preparation before the initiation could begin for the prospective recruit. It involved the selected candidates journeying into Darkspawn ravaged territory in order to slay the creatures and bring a vial of their blood. A number of vials needed to be collected with these numbering the number of recruits selected by the Grey Wardens. Upon completion of their task, the prospective recruits returned to their base where they were required to drink the tainted blood that was mixed with other compounds such as Iyrium. Following ingestion, the recruit would either die quickly from the taint of the Darkspawn blood or be able to hear their hive mind and become partially immune to the taint. Death was a high possibility for the recruits as some of them could not survive the process. Refusal was not an option and those that resisted the Joining were slain by the Wardens. Those that survived were formally welcomed into the ranks of their organization. Initially, they did not experience the dreams normally associated with Grey Wardens nor were they detectable by Darkspawn.
