Ascalon Vanguard

The Ascalon Vanguard is the elite force under the command of Prince Rurik. They are completely independent of the financing and influence of the king, and are small but very powerful and strong. As of late, the Ascalon Vanguard have turned on the offensive, instead of the defensive style of the Ascalon Army.

The player, upon choosing a secondary profession and entering the Ascalon Academy, becomes part of this fighting force.

Many of the Vanguard members followed Rurik through the Shiverpeak Mountains with other Ascalonians, though not all of them did. The Ebon Vanguard, an off-shoot of the Ascalon Vanguard, remained behind Charr lines under Captain Langmar's command. After the princes' demise, Captain Greywind continued to lead the refuges into Kryta and protected the Ascalon Settlement during the civil war.
