Informal Training Opportunities offers the Warden a series of "unofficial" fights in the Orzammar Proving. These can be initiated by speaking with the Proving Armsman. He also mentions that the Assembly has forbidden unofficial fights because dwarves believe that in the Provings the Ancestors show their favor, however he considers it to be just a blood sport so it doesn't make sense to be restricted.

Walkthrough Edit

Each fight consists of the Warden and party fighting another team of four opponents -- usually two melee fighters, an archer, and one other opponent. The other opponents faced are: a blood mage, a champion, an arcane warrior, and a champion with an elven healer. Be warned, these fights are more challenging than the regular Proving matches.

Note: Unlike the "formal" fights, these can be accessed even after Bhelen or Harrowmont has been crowned (which renders the regular fights inaccessible).
