Hi, Dr. Strange!

Keep up the awesome work in Sahova and being there to keep Mirage's sanity in check. Don't want Mir to torture all the poor new arrivals, now, do we?

This month has been crazy with ST joins

Glad to see that were getting help all over the place though! And though we've welcomed each other in chat, here's another to make it official! Welcome to the island, if your name implies the truth, I'm sure you will fit right in!

Welcome welcome one and all to my humble island of new beginnings! Please check your bags in at the door, you will not need them, and be sure you have brought along your own water skin and rations because none will be provided for you.

Questions, regarding the Wardens and Initiates.

Apprenticeships, Initiates, And Time - Is it possible to maintain an apprenticeship while an initiate, or is it impossible to divide your time between them? How much free time does an Initiate have to pursue other activities? What sort of leave (vacation) times do they have? How involved is the Warden with their initiate(s)?

Grants/Payment - Do Wardens/Initiates receive grants/payment in much the same way as Sahova? (Does the Warden receive funding, and then optionally fund an Initiate much like a Sahovan Wizard would for an apprentice?)

Social - How connected are the Wardens to one-another? Do they converse with themselves frequently, or do they isolate themselves to their section of the testing grounds? Do they report to Sahova in general, or only to Goron Silverheart.

Skill Levels - Could a novice in the required personal magics qualify for an initiate position under the Bloodhill Warden?

Bloodhill NPCs - I'm very interested in the Bloodhill Warden, and I would like to know more information about the current one.

Hey there, figured I would try to help with these questions.

1. Its is indeed possibly to both serve the Citadel and the Wardens, Celeste Arumen is both an Apprentice and an initiate however it is very rare. The Citadel is not fond of their investments risking their lives in the Testing Grounds. As far as I know, Wardens work fairly closely with their initiates to train them up and make sure they don't end up dying horribly. I would assume that, like many denizens of Sahova most of their time is taken up by their work.

2. No, unless the Warden or Initiate are also a Wizard of rank in the Citadel they do not receive grants. The Wardens are completely separate from the Sahovan Wizards as an organization.

3. It probably depends on the Wardens, for instance the Warden of the Heartlands rarely leaves her domain. Some Wardens might communicate with others more, some might completely isolate themselves.

4. A number of Initiates are taken from the failures of Judgments, so I would assume that as long as you have a magic specific to that Warden they might take you. Novice or not.

5. I think Mirage is probably working on Eli, the Bloodhills Warden but currently there is no write up on him. I do know the lore states he specializes in a combination of Projection and Voiding.

Hope that helped, and if this info is wrong I'm certain Mirage can clear it up.
