Warden of the Blades

The Warden of Graston is a protectorate title given to a trusted lieutenant of the current Duke and High Commander of the Blades of Greymane, which is the same person what with the merging of the positions. The Warden acts as the technical regent of the Barony of Graston, allowing for the Blades to have a somewhat autonomous leader outside of the Duchy specifically. Tasked with maintenance and leading the Blades in the High Commander's stead when they are unable, while they may not be the highest ranked, they are still the chief lieutenant of the leader.

The Warden is a linked title between both the Duchy and the Blades, granting them special permissions others would not have. As a result, the Warden jointly represents the Blades and may optionally represent the interests of the people of Graston should there ever be an issue. Given the extreme militarization of the barony, the interests are typically one and the same.

The current Warden is Dame Maribell Derintyn (Formerly Parsons), who was given the first of the position by Berenal Grayblade.
