The Warden

The Warden is the Tiefling Warden of Moonrise Towers Prison. She can be found at Moonrise Towers during Act 2.

Encounters

The Warden can be spoken to at her post in Moonrise Towers Prison. She will alternate between remaining inside her room, patrolling to the ominous fleshy hole in the ground, or speaking to Wulbren.

The player can attempt to convince her that they need to speak to the prisoners with a wide variety of class- and skill-specific ability checks. No matter the choice, she will suggest some light bribery will let her turn a blind eye, only to ultimately rebuff you whether you paid her or not. Rogues have the option of complimenting her extortion skills.

Spoiler warning! This section reveals interactions with The Dark Urge.

The Warden will not be pleased to see the Dark Urge again, annoyed at the deference that members of the Cult were supposed to show them when they first stayed at Moonrise Towers. The Warden with threaten that she knows the things that the Urge had committed in the past, and that they remain a threat to Ketheric.
