Wardens

Wardens are a humanoid group of people living alongside Weavers. Despite being almost entirely human, many pure human groups do not consider them to be of the same species.

Language and Communication
Wardens are the humans or descendants of humans that Weavers have kidnapped. As a result, they are the only human ethnic group that can speak to the Weavers. They also speak most human tongues, and trade with the city of Eglantine efficiently.

Technology
Wardens have used the Weaver's precious silk to gain trade leverage in Eglantine. As a result, they have access to most advanced forms of technology, including Essence Tools, guns and medicine.

Combat Abilities
Despite having no innate Essence talents, they are effective at using modified weaponry and use strong guerrilla tactics.

Frost Resistance
Even compared to Frystians, they are remarkably resistant to the cold.

Appearance
Wardens are humanoid, and often look like Frystians. However, their skin is normally paler, and they are frequently blonde and freckled. Outside of their communes and cities, they wear snowsuits, ski masks, and powerful goggles or glasses.
