…
As for the interview, my boss has told me not to play it as it is disturbing and-well, it respects the victim’s privacy. Can’t blame her; poor lady}

Morning citizen. What a pleasant day outside. Remus must have blessed the skies above.

No, this is a sanctuary away from darkness.

Yes…

He isn’t here, he cannot hear us. You can speak [REDACTED].
{Player}:

How do you know my name? Who or what are you?
WARDEN:
> SMILES
A friend.
{Player}:
> BREATHING INCREASES
A friend? Who knows my name? Are you a stalker?!
> BEGINS TO BACK AWAY FROM PC
Please, just leave me-!
WARDEN:
> CONCERNED
I’m not that, and I am not human. And please, do not be afraid. You are safe here, as I wish to discuss your current situation…You can relax…
{Player}:
> BREATHING SLOWS AND GOES BACK TO COMPUTER
Okay, what do you want?
WARDEN:
I have been watching you, and I have observed your husband’s behavior towards you ever since you got married to him [REDACTED] months ago. His insensitive nature, his lack of remorse, and his unwillingness to help you. There have been several incidents where he has harmed you, and the incident last night has forced me to intervene as it was severe.
{Player}:
> TREMBLING
I-I don’t know what you are talking about-? Are you sure this is what you want to talk to me about-?
WARDEN:
October 18, 2025. Your husband came home early from work at 5:42 PM CST to find you resting on the couch resting after doing chores since 8:00 AM CST. Your husband accused you of being lazy when you were resting before you planned on cooking a tuna casserole within a minute. He hurled several verbal insults at you and then proceeded to throw you off the couch and beat you with his belt that lasted for 7 minutes. Judging from your injuries, you have a few fractured bones.
{Player}:
> NERVOUS SMILE WHILE TREMBLING
M-m-my husband is a good man who-
WARDEN:
> RAISES EYEBROW
A good husband? A good husband who hurls vile verbal insults to his wife, accuses her of something she did not do, physically beats her with a leather belt fitted with metal buckles that has left several bruises that are still visible.
{Player}:
> QUICKLY HIDES ARMS IN POCKETS
WARDEN:
> SADDENED
I can still see them, and hiding it will not alleviate the harm he has caused.
{Player}:
> RELUCTANTLY SHOWS ARMS
I was b-being lazy.
> BEGINS SOBBING
WARDEN:
Lazy? In what way would someone taking care of the house for almost 10 hours a day be lazy? Doing grocery shopping to do meal prep for an entire day? To rest before cooking dinner to feed two for a week? All while that “man” sits on his chair and does nothing to help the one who takes care of them? That sounds like someone who is not lazy
{Player}:
> COVERS FACE AND CRIES
*mumbling* I was being a lazy wife…
WARDEN:
>VERY CONCERNED
*gently* That does not sound like a good man to me…
{Player}:
> SNIFFLES
Look, I don’t know what you want, but I-I think it is a mistake.
WARDEN:
*gently* It isn’t, you know that.
{Player}:
> SHAKING HEAD AND CLENCHES HAIR TERRIFIED
*exasperated* I-I am at peace. I-I just am making things up.
WARDEN:
> DEEP SIGH
*gently* [REDACTED], I want you to look at me.
{Player}:
> DOES AS TOLD SLOWLY
WARDEN:
*gently* I want to help you, to give you an exit. For you to finally know peace.
{Player}:
> CURLS UP
I don’t want to be unfaithful to my husband…
WARDEN:
*gently* He has been unfaithful to you in how he treats you and how he never appreciates you for your hard work.
{Player}:
*mumbling* I am lazy though…
WARDEN:
And you know you worked since 8, correct?
{Player}:
> NODS SLOWLY
WARDEN:
Does he ever help you?
{Player}:

*trembling* N-no, he doesn’t.
> STIFLES CRIES
He works long days at [REDACTED], he told me. I do all of these things for him-

{Player}:

EDITOR’S NOTE: {The player witnessed a video of her husband’s illicit activities related to drug smuggling activities that lead him to being thrown in the slammer.
…
Okay, he was convicted of a lot of things, including that (my boss wants me to be more professional). The stuff in that file was turned over to them…}
{Player}:
> HORRIFIED
*trembling* H-he said-
WARDEN:
*gently* A good husband wouldn’t lie to his wife, who does more than most would do for him.

*whispering* And it's a big one too!
WARDEN:

INCIDENT 2 RESULT: [REDACTED] LEFT THE HOUSE DUE TO HER MISSING AN INGREDIENT (MILK) NEEDED FOR LASAGNA. {The Player} SNUCK IN 2 FLASHDRIVES CONTAINING RECORDINGS INCRIMINATING [REDACTED] IN A HIDDEN COMPARTMENT IN HER WINTER COAT AND PROCEEDED TO HER LOCAL POLICE STATION. {The Player} IMMEDIATELY HANDED OVER EVIDENCE TO AUTHORITIES AND WAS IMMEDIATELY INTERVIEWED BY A DETECTIVE CONCERNING [REDACTED]’S ALLEGED DOMESTIC ABUSE, ASSAULT, AND DRUG SMUGGLING. {The Player}’s INJURIES INCLUDED INTERNAL BLEEDING IN THE ARMS, BONE FRACTURES LOCATED ON THE ARMS, AND BRUISES VISIBLE ON THE ARMS. THE DETECTIVE INTERVIEWING HER INJURIES AS SEVERE AND WAS SENT TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT FOLLOWING THE INTERVIEW FOR 6 DAYS. THE DETECTIVE THEN PROCEEDED FOR AN EMERGENCY ANALYSIS OF THE EVIDENCE RECEIVED FROM THE {Player}. ANALYSIS OF THE EVIDENCE RESULTED IN AN EMERGENCY WARRANT ISSUED WITHIN AN HOUR OF THE {Player}’s ARRIVAL AT THE POLICE STATION BY THE LOCAL MAGISTRATE FOR DOMESTIC ABUSE, ASSAULT, AND DRUG SMUGGLING CHARGES. [REDACTED] WAS ARRESTED AT 2057 HOURS ON WITHOUT INCIDENT. A K-9 UNIT WAS LATER DISPATCHED FOUND $30,000,000 WORTH OF [REDACTED] STORED IN A HIDDEN WALL COMPARTMENT. [REDACTED] WAS LATER TRIED AND FOUND GUILTY OF DOMESTIC ABUSE, ASSAULT, AND DRUG SMUGGLING. [REDACTED] WAS SENTENCED TO 72 YEARS IN FEDERAL PRISON. WITHIN A MONTH INTO HIS SENTENCE, [REDACTED] DISAPPEARED WITHOUT A TRACE FROM HIS CELLBLOCK. INMATES DID NOT REPORT ANY ANOMALIES, BUT PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT THEY WERE “OVERJOYED” AT WHAT POSSIBLY HAPPENED. A MURDER INVESTIGATION REGARDING THE DISAPPEARANCE OF [REDACTED] IS ONGOING.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: {Removed for being dramatized and insensitive to the “subject” (I hate that goddamn word). Also, nice to dramatize a very serious court case jackass}
EDITOR’S NOTE: {I know I’m not allowed to show you the interview, but, I can still paraphrase it. The player has very mixed opinions regarding what happened on October 18th, but told John “He delivered me from the lowest pits of hell to heaven”.
…
Is it okay to talk about-?
…
He says it’s fine. The player told John she is currently undergoing intense psychiatric treatment for a slew of mental disorders caused by her deadbeat husband. I’m not going to detail what has happened to her since that day, that is an invasion of privacy, but she seems to be doing a lot better now.
…
Okay, he wants me to talk about that visitation. So…One of the members of Warden Watch actually visited the police station while researching the incident. The detective seemed a bit off, almost “glad” to what happened to the player’s ex. And from what he could gather, apparently this guy was investigating the Warden regarding several cold cases, all of whom are related to him. This one was recent.
…
That guy though, I’m not really sure what began his obsession with the Warden. Envy I think?
…
Uh, my boss says not to think about it anymore. Next segment as we’re not doing the analysis by John and that interview!
{SKIPPING VIDEO BY 13 MINUTES, 52 SECONDS}
EDITOR’S NOTE:
{Okay, this one. So uh, originally, it was going to be some AI-generated bs that was completely fabricated. I don’t even know why he did that to be honest, and it’s not like there is something on Warden Watch detailing it because…it doesn’t exist.
…
Okay, it was some “crime scene thriller” to drum up hype for “big scary incident” to paint the Warden in a negative light. It had him beat up some goons holding a victim hostage. It looks so ass too. Like, seriously?! This is what Hansha Software touts as the future? BRO HAD 6 FINGERS IN SOME OF THOSE SCENES!
…
My boss again is telling me not to yell…And he told me to replace it with something that did happen and it isn't some thriller.
…
Wait, aren’t you worried if his folks will-?
…
Okay then…My boss just told me the player’s gave us permission to log the incident as they want people to know a kindness that you-know-who will not cover on his channel. Oh, and uh…the Warden has sentimental memories of this.
…
He told my boss, that’s what I can tell you.
…
Also, [EXPLETIVE] this stupid-ass, “professional investigator” format. Looks like something some high schooler would write about horrorspaghett.net.
…
Alright, fine! I won’t swear that much. It’s not like I’ve been doing this for-!
…
Uh…I’m just going to play the video}

> PLAYER CHARACTER APPROACHES THE WARDEN
Why does he have that red gemstone on his helmet?
WARDEN:
> SMILING
Morning citizen. What a pleasant day outside. Remus must have blessed the skies above.
{Player}:
*whispering* I wish it was…

> STOPS SMILING AND SHOWS CONCERN
I see you are having quite a bit of difficulty with your quest to stop Amulius, yes?
{Player}:
> WHEEZING
*tiredly* Yeah…
> CONFUSED
{DIALOGUE OPTION} Why did you bring me here?
WARDEN:
I wish to be of assistance. It is imperative that we stop Amulius or he will unleash the horrors of Cestranna.
EDITOR’S NOTE: CESTRANNA IN-UNIVERSE IS A HELLISH, BLINDINGLY BRIGHT REALM WHERE AMULIUS (THE MAIN VILLAIN OF THE FORGOTTEN TOMES SERIES) IS CHAINED. {Basically Hell if it was brighter than the Sun}
WARDEN:
> RAISES AXE
I will offer you my services in exchange for ensuring disaster does not occur. What say you?
{Player}:
> NODS IN CONFUSION
{DIALOGUE SELECTION} I accept.
*whispering* All for a-?
WARDEN:
> LOWERS AXE
Then we best be off. Basileus Darian Vinalan is rumored to have a bastard son in the city of Agreggo.
> BECKONS PLAYER TO FOLLOW, WHO COMPLIES
EDITOR’S NOTE:
{Darian Vinalan was a central character for 3 Forgotten Tomes games as the leader of the Elmiran Empire. The city of Agreggo is a required city to visit in the world in order to progress the main quest. Lore-wise, it is a major religious city within the Elmiran province where Apollenism was said to take off as the state religion of the Elmiran Empire and a major trading hub between it and the religious Confederacy of Telenar. gameplay wise, it sucks. Much of the recording shows no signs of anomalous behavior coming from the warden, other than he guided the player quickly through the main quest. He also altered the game’s progression system in order to allow the player to overcome the most infamous and difficult areas of the game easily.
…
WHAT?! I can nerd out like everyone else at times!
…
Apologies. For the sake of conciseness, but also to summarize, the player spent all night doing the main quest and his health declined due to unknown anomalous effects. I’m skipping ahead to when the player beat the game as that’s when the weird stuff happens}

WARDEN:
*gently* No, it won’t. You’ll feel much better. A dream without pain and suffering, where you’ll be able to see the Sun shining in a meadow filled with great fields of lavender, where you’ll see old friends waiting for you, far off into an endless horizon.

{Do I really have to call it that?
…
Uh, welp! My boss says I have to}
THE WARDEN STAYED WITH THE {Player} UNTIL HE PASSED AWAY AT 0748 HOURS. THE NURSE ASSIGNED TO THE {Player} NOTED THE TV WAS STILL AND SAVED THE {Player}’S GAME BEFORE TURNING OFF THE FUNVISION 4 CONSOLE AND THE TV. THE {Player} WAS DESCRIBED BY NURSE AND HIS PARENTS TO BE SMILING AFTER HIS PASSING. BY PERSONAL REQUEST, HIS PARENTS RECEIVED THE MEMORY CARD INSERTED INTO THE FUNVISION 4 CONSOLE AND PROCEEDED TO UPLOAD IT TO THEIR PERSONAL COMPUTER. ON THE DAY THEY UPLOADED THE SAVE FILE TO THEIR COMPUTER (DATE IS UNKNOWN {they forgot}), THEY FOUND A PHOTO ALBUM WITHIN THE SAVE FILE OF THEIR SON, INCLUDING PHOTOS THEY BELIEVE TO HAVE LOST DURING A HOUSEFIRE.
EDITOR’S NOTES:
{The parents of that kid didn’t really know if the Warden was either a nurse or security guard playing dress-up to make their son’s last moments the best of his life. They did realize a month later (which is absurdly long to figure it out) that the Warden was neither of those things. As I said before, his parents gave us these recordings as a way to remember their son. The nurse and security staff were quite generous in a lot of regards.
…
Yeah, I’ll talk about that. The kid’s parents told Warden Watch they have a personal contact within Lennox Games. They basically told that guy everything, and they pleaded to put their son in the remaster (he whispered to them about) to honor and remember their kid. Well, their petition went through as the remaster included someone that looked a lot like their son.
…
No, he was not sentient or magically was reincarnated (that would be cruel). The Warden does actually visit an in-game grave dedicated to the kid, and there have been multiple incidents where he laid incense on the tombstone.
…
Oh, and the shield. I think perhaps he just felt a lot of pity for the kid that he decided to carry his shield the player used to beat the game. He’s pretty protective of it. Can’t blame him}
