Making their way toward Deiter and the group was no party of men or elves, but the band of Ravenwood's finest guards. The green warders. Created by the two Cloakthought Baelnorns, this band of eight was a formidable force. Green warders were like tall humanoid creatures made of leaves and branches, able to camoflague perfectly within the forest if they so chose. But now they made themselves apparent, crowding around the party in a circle. The tallest of them spoke aloud in elvish. "You must wait. The way is not free. Wait for the masters to see you. Then you may pass."
