Introduction; In-Universe
The Vanguard, commonly known as the ‘Argent Spear’ was originally created in order to allow the Dawn to strike at foes in the farthest corners of the plaguelands of Lordaeron.
Over the years as they gradually discovered the agents of both the Burning Legion and the Scourge have spread to the civilized regions of the world, the Dawn started deploying them as an expeditionary force.
Nowadays they are known to operate all across Azeroth. Anywhere evil rears its ugly head, they will be there to meet it.
Introduction; Out of Character
The Argent Vanguard aims to be the premier roleplaying destination for all your Argent Dawn themed roleplaying needs on Classic WoW.
We will offer:
- Weekly events & multi-part campaigns.
- A commendation system for tracking player achievements.
- A defined path of progression, with multiple platoons & roles to fill.
- Our own, home-brew RPG system for events.
- Discord server.
- A community site.
Our Roleplay will be grounded in canonical lore, with our events taking place during the Vanilla timeline. This does not mean however that concepts expanded upon and introduced in later expansions can’t be introduced into our stories, within reason.
We wish to emphasize persistence through our Roleplay, so we will often spend long periods of time away from major Roleplaying hubs, even outside of guilds events.
We also wish to manage & maintain a PvE & PvP wing of the guild to fully exploit the content offered by the game.
With the Vanguard there will be no downtime, always having something to do.
Our Home-brew RPG System
Over the many years of Roleplaying on retail WoW, our group of friends developed a rather simple rule-set to govern the outcome of combat during our events.
It started out simple, became over-bloated with features before it was all scaled back into a more light-weight system.
It uses multiple dices & a straightforward stat system.
It’s easy to learn & hard to master. It’s a system fit for just about any character archetype out there with no restrictions on class.
It allows players to feel powerful, while still presenting challenging encounters.
Unit Structure
The Vanguard has multiple permanent units for organizational purposes, as well as smaller temporary ones for operational purposes.
In itself the Vanguard is a Company of the Argent Dawn.
It is comprised of multiple, permanent Platoons that fulfil different tasks.
The Platoons are then broken down into Squads.
Squads are temporarily organized into Teams for the duration of a mission.
Events
Events in the Vanguard will fall into multiple categories.
- Roleplaying events with an emphasis on storytelling & roleplay. Our main focus.
- PvE events, where we clear dungeons and quest together.
- Raid events, where we clear raids.
- PvP events, where we travel the world in search of Open World PvP.
- Battleground events, where we enter a BG as an organized group.
During Roleplay events the Dungeon Master will direct the flow of action, with Players responding to them accordingly.
Ultimate player freedom & actions having consequences will be the values governing our RP events.
Rank & Progression
The first promotion for every member from a Trial status to a Regular will come after a certain time in service to the guild.
Following this, players will have at their disposal a unique system to help track their progress in the guild and earn promotions, special equipment & more.
Occasionally the Vanguard will award one-time, campaign specific ribbons.
Persistence & Meta-game
Our guild will utilize a unique system to help with day-to-day player engagement and spontaneous Roleplay.
Our meta-game will revolve around working towards the stability of the world as fit for the Argent Dawn theme.
Depending on the guild’s weekly contributions, we may be better or worse off during guild events.
