History[edit]

The Astral Ward was established in 604 AE by Isgarren, with Taryn as the first Warden, the Astral Ward's leader.[2]

Members of the Astral Ward have dog tags with codes and the engraving of the symbol of the specific Bastion they are loyal to, with some members not being sworn to any.[3]
