What is a gravewarden?

That's a good question!

Gravewardens are a "group" which is a loose definition. it is a state of being that one can take part in or venture alone. They are those touched by death, those who can see beyond the veil. Some become wandering warriors dealing in vengeance for the spirits they've encountered, others are historians taking in stories long forgotten. Some just want to live and quietly go about whatever jobs they held previously even with a few spooky visitors.

Overall those who embrace their gifts can harness spectral energies to various effect. Their goal is to safely and compassionately bring the dead to rest. Tending to tasks set by the spirits and cleaning headstones new and old alike. It is either an extremely peaceful life or one set in blood.

To become a Gravewarden, to be touched by the veil, one must has experienced great tragedy and pain. It opens your body to the spirits trapped on the material plane. They seek out the sorrow. Most don't understand how much power is within such strong emotions. Lazaruz was the first, died during a ritual to the dark gods. Fuel for the plague that took thousands. It didn't come to him at first but overtime he spent his energies helping the dead rest. Completing tasks ranging from the mundane to life long vengeances. The more he worked and trained he learned to control the veil, control the spectral energies around him. Now as the leader he trains others. For those who simply wish to live in peace he gives them positions within the keep.
