For years we served as the spearhead of our order. Ours was the privilege of first blood, as the very tip of the blade that opened the wound, for the cold justice of the edge to follow. Across the realms of the living and the dead our coming was an omen of reckoning.
We were the vanguard to the righteousness of the grave. We were the Onslaught.
Now the Frozen Throne sits empty and the Scourge runs rampant at our very doorstep. With no single entity remaining to keep the damned and their many warring erstwhile lieutenants in check, Highlord Mograine has taken the burden of succeeding the Lich King in his duty upon the shoulders of all of us.
Over are the days of our steeds’ thunderous drumming of hooves on foreign soil, at least for now, as now we must look inwards to safeguard all that which we fought for in the first place.
The time of the Onslaught is over. Now is the hour of the Veilbound Vigil.
Even if the living shun us, we press on. Even if our methods are reviled, we do what we must to ensure the security and stability of all.
In our duty we are united! In our vigil we stand!
The Veilbound Vigil is a cross-faction guild focused towards the roleplay of death knights, necromancers and minions of the Ebon Blade. With no more Lich King to watch over Icecrown, the duty now falls to the knights to safeguard the dark place from any who seek to use its power.
The Scourge, now unbound and rampaging, must be kept in check. The strongest of the undead will seek to take power and lead the mindless hordes against this world.

-
Captain - The second in command. (OOCly, Alliance side leader.)

Death Knight - The backbone of the Vigil, who serve as the majority of the Veilbound’s forces. They have the ability to take on initiates as squires under their wing to train them.

Initiates - The bottom of the barrel, the most promising sack of meat and bones risen from the pile to be broken and reforged into a weapon of indiscriminate justice under the banner of the Veilbound Vigil, of the Ebon Blade.
Other ranks
- Necromancers - Talented in spellcraft and raising of undead, these scholars and researchers serve to support the death knights in battle with their dark crafts.
- Acolyte - Serving under necromancers, acolytes are what initiates are to death knights.
- Minions - Homunculi, Constructs, Dark Rangers - As servants of no rank or repute, minions serve only the bidding of their betters on the lower end of the chain of command, though individuals may gain particular favour with the upper echelons for outstanding commitment and skill.
