The Vigilants of Tyr is recruiting for The War Within!!
With the reforging of Keeper Tyr, the Tyr’s Guard has been reformed - and with them, the Vigil has found renewed purpose. Comprised of Tyr’s Guard, followers of Tyr, and their allies, the Vigil follows the Keeper’s will (and what they think he’d want) across Azeroth and beyond.
Summary
The Vigilants of Tyr are a section of the Tyr’s Guard, best described as their B-team. Maybe their C-team. The Vigil goes on adventures across Azeroth to fight the good fight, assist the Keeper as best they can, and generally get into trouble. They mean well, and they’re good at what they do - but nothing ever goes according to plan.
The Vigil is generally made up of three types of characters:
- Tyr’s Guard
These members are still considered Vigilants - they’re just more often the chaperones for the Vigilants.
- Vigilants
These are characters that generally follow Tyr’s ideals, but have not formally joined the Tyr’s Guard.
- Affiliates
These are the characters that generally agree with the Vigil’s mission/purpose, but aren’t particularly interested in following Keeper Tyr.
All characters regardless of faction are welcome. Ideally, they should at least be inclined towards doing good, a true hero, a criminal in search of redemption, or just some poor fool that found one of our recruitment flyers - these can all work!
Evil characters typically do not fit in this guild, but talk to us if you have some ideas! Not every character is squeaky clean in the Vigil, but if you primarily RP stealing candy from babies or playing baby shark in public places we may not be the best fit for you.
All classes and all races are welcome to apply to the guild so long as the character makes sense as part of the Vigilants. Talk with any of us directly if you aren’t sure if your character would be a good fit or not - if they can live by Tyr’s ideals and try to do good in the world, they will probably work!
For clarity regarding the Tyr’s Guard: The Vigil is not the Tyr’s Guard, and we do not have any say over who can or cannot play a member of the Tyr’s Guard. We just play as a section of the Guard, the ones that they don’t talk about at family holidays and aren’t allowed to be on screen for the home videos.
Activity
We run two guild campaigns each week - campaign #1 is generally part of a longer arc (generally a more serious tone), while campaign #2 is generally part of a shorter story or might be a one-off event.
These events are run using a /roll 20 homebrewed system, known as “Dusty Old System” or “DOS” for short. This system is designed to allow deep and personalized customization for each character, but has prebuilts for folks that don’t want to or aren’t ready for that yet! The system is designed around the assumption that our characters are competent and good at what they do, but that they are not good at everything. We aren’t generic soldiers, but we aren’t the canon adventurer!
In addition to RP, we do casual Mythic+ nights (and occasionally guild raids, towards the start of a season) that anyone is welcome to attend! Our only requirements are that you can actually access the content and that you bring a good attitude with you. As long as you try and can be a team player, we’re happy to help you reach KSM/KSH/etc!
Housing
With the launch of Neighborhoods, the Vigilants are settling down in Tyr’s Promise! Tyr’s Promise is a fanon neighborhood that the Vigil has been helping for a while, settled by a group of pilgrims that came to Tyr for a fresh start. The Promise is somewhere in the Azure Span, and is meant to generally match what you see in the in-game housing area!
All members of the guild are welcome to pick a plot, build their home, and stay awhile in the Promise! It’s only ever in danger every once in a while, so it’ll be fine! The Vigil still calls Tyr’s Rest - or wherever the Tyr’s Guard goes - their headquarters, but they are sworn to protect Tyr’s Promise. Doesn’t hurt that the Promise has more beachfront real estate than Tyrhold does…
