David Gaider made a comment today that unanswered questions about the wardens will become clear in DA3.

What is that all about?

The warden you meet when the Qunari clash takes place mentions something...........................
You find documents regarding the wardens on the wounded coast.
You meet the wardens in the deep roads if you bring along certain companions
You meet Nathanial in the deep roads doing warden business if you played Awakening.

How does this all come together?
What is the involvement of the wardens in the ongoing war?

Post your opinions and thoughts

edit. seeing the customization on companion armour that BW posted is there going to be a grey warden companion?

Based on Gaider's quote about the Wardens in DA3, and the concept art of a male Grey Warden used to display the armor customization, it sounds to me like we'll be getting a Grey Warden companion whose personal quests will probably involve this secretive Warden agenda.

That is one of the things that really captured my attention in da2. I know that the letter was being sent to weisshaupt and it was a note from avernus, I think it was regarding the taint. Nathaniel while on the deep roads mentions the architect on that mission. While talking to Nathaniel it seems that the architec's intel was off. I would like to see him play a more prominent role in the next dragon age.
The wardens will be drawn Into the war, no doubt, do you think they might be mislead? They have the architect if you have him live, avernus, and corypheus since it seems he will be able to have influence within the warden ranks.
I sense a disturbance within the warden ranks! Especially with the way legacy ended.

Whatever, I'll probably love it. I always do in the end.

Cenic what do you think the warden agenda is? I think that wardens might be painted in a bad light in the next game. They where in origins by loghain, this is another question I have loghain can survive origins and become a warden. If he does he is sent to Orlais, will we see him again?

That's how I feel about it too. I know the majority of the fanbase can't get enough of the Wardens, but I've had enough of them. Especially as companions. Free up that slot for something new, please.

Since I never played Awakening, you probably have better ideas on that front than I do.

The Warden presence in DA2 may have been due to the matters addressed in Legacy - the documents, the presence of Nathaniel, etc, all could point to the Wardens seeking information or artifacts from what was beneath Kirkwall and the surrounding areas. Which in turn could point to the further research on the Blight. Maybe the Warden agenda was to pick up where the Band of Three left off.

As for DA3 - if indeed we will be traveling somewhere decidedly more French, I think we'll see more of Orlais' involvement with the Order. Not only is there a stronghold there (including an abandoned one, according to Asunder - **spoilers within that link), but the Empress was working with Ferelden to combat the Blight. Darkspawn are still a threat, albeit one that is a low rumble. Orlais may be supporting the Wardens more than ever before, and while political ties are eschewed by the Order, they may be in need of funding and arms, and may be accepting it on behalf of the perceived greater good of preventing more blights. But if the taint can be mastered as opposed to vanquished (perhaps mastery is easier than annihilation of it), then that could be utilized as a weapon. The empire/group that holds the ability to unleash hordes of a walking plague of sorts would be an entity with incredible sway and power. 

Perhaps there is a schism within the Order itself, parallel to the mages and templars - some wish to stop the darkspawn threat altogether, some wish to manipulate it. This is somewhat addressed in the varying viewpoints regarding the Architect in The Calling. Maybe that underlying divide is what is fueling the Order's actions now.

Good reply whykikyouwhy.

The band of three is an unsolved mystery in DA2. It was never clear who they were and what they were looking for. Might as well been wardens for that matter who found something under Kirkwall that will have influence in DA3.

The alliance between the wardens and the empress of Orlais is very plausible. Orlais being in turmoil by itself at the moment the wardens could be an asset if they decide to no longer be neutral.

The darkspawn threat is indeed "a low rumble" but the taint could be a formidable weapon for either side if it could be contained/mastered. The documents are an indication that progress is made in that regard.

A schism in the order itself is someting I hadn't thought of. This could be very interesting. The conclusions in Awakening were not crystalclear. If the choice will be made to try and manipulate the taint this could maybe shed some more light on Corypheus and the intelligent darkspawn who will surely have a part in DA3 then.

The abandoned stronghold in Orlais will maybe not be abandoned anymore in DA3. The wardens will probably have started to build up their ranks again after the blight. They can establish a base there if they decide to take part in the war.

Do not know if there will be a warden companion but the new protagonist will have encounters with te wardens and quests resulting from them in DA3 I think. As mentioned in the post there are still a lot of unanswered questions.

Thanks for the link whykikyouwhy if that fortress does become a stronghold for the wardens will stroud and loghain be a part of that? Now having a warden companion that leads us to the fortress would be cool.

I wonder about that fortress too. Haven't red Asunder so do not have any info on that.
Looked at the link and there was some interesting info.
Sounds a bit like the fortress on Awakening. Connection to the deep roads?

Bioware posted a gray warden with armour. How will the wardens return in DA3?

I'm wondering if maybe the concept art of the Seeker and the Warden are going to be characters that our new protagonist will have close dealings with (like Orsino and Meredith in DA2) rather than them actually being companions.

Perhaps they only showed us those two character designs in companion armour as an example, rather than showing us concept art of our real companions and spoiling the surprise. I mean, if they had shown us designs of a Dwarf looking suspiciously like Oghren and a Templar baring more than a passing resemblance to Cullen then we would guess straight away who Bioware had in mind for companions in DA3.
