[A-RP Guild] Lordaeron Vanguard 🦅

Hello there, adventurer! Thank you for passing by! :wave:

LORDAERON VANGUARD CONCEPT :point_down:

“We are the faithful, the incorruptible. Our resolve makes us eternal in the analogues of History. It is we, the Vanguard who stand before the forces of the darkness that keep the belongings of the Grand Alliance and we will not fail. We know our cause is both righteous and just, we will strive ever onward to forge a future for our kin that lost their homes. We are the living embodiment of order and justice and with the Light’s Will we shall be the ones to prevail in restoring our lost Kingdom! We are true and just, we are the beacon of hope for Lordaeron, we are it’s VANGUARD! Ardor ar Tor’Lor”
– Lord Tyler Stansford, Lord of Stansholde

The Lordaeron Vanguard is a proud and disciplined Legionary Force dedicated to the reclamation, defense, and restoration of the ruined Kingdom of Lordaeron. As a sworn ally of the Grand Alliance, they uphold its laws while remaining deeply devoted to the noble virtues of Lordaeron: Respect, Tenacity, and Compassion. Beneath the banner of the two-headed eagle, a symbol of their unwavering vigilance and unity, the Vanguard stands resolute against all forces that seek to drag Lordaeron further into darkness and ruin.

At the heart of the Vanguard stands Lord Stansford, a nobleman of great wisdom and a seasoned Lord Commander. Under his leadership, the Vanguard operates not only as a military force but as a bastion of faith and tradition, honoring the sacred duty to protect Lordaeron’s remaining human settlements and their people.

The ranks of the Lordaeron Vanguard are composed of knights, warriors and rangers of the fallen Kingdom, seasoned veterans who have dedicated their lives to reclaiming their homeland, as well we count allied races of the old Alliance of Lordaeron who wishes to aid in this noble cause. Alongside them stand the Knights of the Order of the Silver Hand, holy warriors who wield both blade and divine magic in service to the Light. Their faith is the foundation of their strength, and the Holy Light guides their path, offering hope to those they defend and judgment upon those who seek to bring ruin.

With steel, faith, and unshakable resolve, the Lordaeron Vanguard stands as a shield against the forces of destruction, whether they be undead remnants of the Scourge, foul agents of the Horde, or any other enemy that dares to challenge the future of Lordaeron. Their mission is clear—to restore, protect, and rebuild—ensuring that the legacy of Lordaeron and its people endures for generations to come.

Motto of the Vanguard: Ardor ar Tor’lor! (in high lordaeronian which is translated as Honor and Glory) :eagle:

Q&A :question: :writing_hand:

Q: What kind of events do you host?

We are hosting both RP-PVE and RP-PVP.

Q: RP-PVP? But what about the truce?

The truce doesn’t mean peace considering the Loyalist Forsaken (War Criminals) are still roaming on the Ruined Kingdom lands and the Vanguard mission is to drive them back from the lands and reconstruct the villages.

Q: Weren’t you serving the Grand Alliance? Aren’t you going to be judged by those actions?

Even as part of the Grand Alliance, Lordaeron Vanguard as a militant branch will act individual in those efforts on retaking the lost lands, this is not an act of war if we are fighting those war criminals as context.

Q: If I want to focus more on casual RP, can I join?

Even if the guild is mostly militant, there are also branches that can offer casual RP and we support the feudal fantasy concept were you can be either townfolk or noble blood.

Q: What about uniforms? What can I wear?

Mostly you should go after the basic lordaeronian colors such as Blue-White and can also add the Golden borders(Optional) but for that we got a Recruit’s Guide posted on our Discord. Try to keep it as low fantasy as you can, without flames, glowing shoulders or helmets. Guild tabard will be required for any of the outfits.

I wish all the luck with this project, but frankly with all harping about low fantasy and militarism it just comes of rather milktoast. What exactly is the selling point here?

As a side note, I can appreciate English not being many people’s first language, so instead of relying on buzzwords that make your points repetitive you can consult AI tools to enrich the text further.

Thank you so much! I tried now to picture what is our purpose! :fist: Hopefully it makes more sense now.

Well done Tyler! You’ve been doing this project for a solid amount of time now, and I’m glad to see it’s still running, ever-evolving and producing solid turnout! All in all, from the outside perspective and interactions I’ve had with you guys, I only have good things to say - decency being at the top! Keep it up!

Due to lore research about 1st Legion (ingame and Comic books) we have decided to change the uniform aspect using https://www.wowhead.com/transmog-set=1800/stormwind-set this set with few variations.
Those variations can be found only on our Discord- recruit-guide, for those who are interested to join.

The Vanguard is once again open for recruitment. Join the legionary force!
Find us in Tyr’s Hand, Eastern Plaguelands!

Into the Darkness!

When whispers of the void poisoned Hillsbrad, the Third Legionary Force of Lordaeron also known as Lordaeron Vanguard, was called to purge the threat. What began as scattered corruption soon revealed a guiding will… Khaara’thun, a void-born abomination stirring in the north.

Following the trail of madness through the Ghostlands, the Vanguard pressed on to the ancient ruins of Zul’Aman, now defiled by shadow. There, amid crumbling temples and warping skies, they faced Khaara’thun himself, a creature of endless hunger and whispered doom.

In a brutal final clash, the Vanguard shattered the void gate and banished the beast, though many fell in the effort. The ruins smoldered, and the silence that followed was hard-won.

Scarred but standing, the Vanguard raised the banner in victory, the sacrifice of those who fell was not in vain. Now the Cohort have returned to their secondary Headquarters within Tyr’s Hand to mend their wounded and rest after a long battle.

The void was driven back. The Vanguard prevailed. Lordaeron endures.

OOC: Was a great successful Campaign, Voice-narrated, more to come for sure! Come by Tyr’s Hand to say hello or contact us if you wish to Co-Op/join out events or even join the Vanguard if you are guildless and looking for a Lordaeronian established guild.

SOON: When Housing it’s Live we will prepare an series of events regarding the reconstruction of a Township in Hillsbrad. The Town it’s called Redrick’s Hill and it’s situated near the city of Southshore. Slowly making our permanent presence in Hillsbrad if Midnight gives us some updates on northern zones.

Ardor ar Tor’lor! :handshake: Honor and Glory!
Esarus thar no’Darador!
