Trivia

• Rift Wardens were originally level 24 Elementalist foes found in the first map of Heroes' Ascent. A team was rewarded with a 2% morale boost for each one killed. The format of the first map was revamped in the June 29, 2005 update and Rift Wardens were replaced with the Unworthy Dead, and later, the Zaishen Elite of Heroes' Ascent.
