The Warden

Not to be confused with Fort Warden.

The Warden is one of seven playable classes in The Elder Scrolls Online. It was released on June 6, 2017, as part of the The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind expansion. With this class, the player is able to summon combat pets, similar to the Sorcerer. In addition, it also adds ice abilities in a way similar to the Dragonknight's flame abilities.

In conjunction the release of The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset and Update 18, The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind will only be available as part of new issues of the base The Elder Scrolls Online game, as a purchase through the Crown Store and included with ESO Plus. However, the Warden class will not be included in either of these releases. It will however, be released as a stand-alone purchase under the "Upgrades" category in the Crown Store, which will allow players who do not own The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind to acquire and play as this class.[1]
