Warden of Marshwood Hill

The Warden of Marshwood Hill is a fully grown male Heron who lives and rules in the marshes near the easter sea. He is know for being the law in these marshes and punishing his reptile subjects or "lawbreakers" very severely. His personality is easy to insult as he constantly refers to himself as "the law". He rescued Martin the Warrior, Rose, Pallum, and Grumm Trencher from a tribe of cannibalistic lizards after being warned by a dipper, then was saved from two slowworms, a grass snake, and an adder by Martin the Warrior. After leading Martin the Warrior and his friends through the marshes the warden promptly flies away. He shows up later in the battle for Fort Marshank.
