Dwarves, and Spiders, and Orcs oh my!

These are shots of one of the very first events in Vanguard. I believe there were some role play type things at Halloween but, that was before my time. This is the first time we were actually able to spawn NPCs. They did not have any pathing yet so they just kind of stood there waiting to be beat down. But Dae did try to give it a little story. Basically it was a baddie invasion at Themwar Shield. I think nearly the whole server showed up to defend it. These shots were taken December 29, 2005.

Spiders taking over the dam.

Taking on one of the bad guys.

Victory!

A little taste of PVP before there was PVP. This is Jalen and I think Inosoknight in the foreground with Leto healing in the background.

Ahhh Memories!

End of Beta Event

I got these picutes from our old forums. They are pretty much old news. But there are lots of new folks who were not there and I want to keep the memories from getting lost. This is the TMS End of Beta Event. I am definately looking forward to doing some more of these in the future.

Giant Frogs!

A Stand Off

Boats in Khal Harbor

A Menacing Dragon

Griffon in the Night Sky

I believe these were taken by Sir-Molad who is an awesome photographer. Thank you Molad! Tomorrow I will dig up the first ever Vanguard event done by Lady-Dae. I was the photographer for that one.

Spreading the Love!

Sir-Jarasay was pondering why he was not in any of the previous shots. I was unsure myself. I was however able to dig up this shot of him. He was modeling our cloaks the first day they got added to the game. He was testing them to make sure they could be traded to and worn by CF members. I am not sure why he was making that grumpy face at me! *hugs Jarasay*



On a side note today is Verityn's 1 year annivesary. It is hard to believe he has been walking the roads of Telon for a year now. Time sure does fly when you are having fun. Make sure you give him a congrats when you see him!

Little Bit of our Lore.

The follow is an excerpt of a conversation I had with a friend of mine while having tea this afternoon:

Sometime during the night a parchment was slipped under my door. It was sealed with a signet which I did not seem to recall. I donned my spectacles and took a seat by the fire to read the document. Carefully I broke the crimson wax seal as to preserve it for later study. As the parchment unfolded these words magically appeared… “We have emerged from the shadows.” And then once again the parchment was blank. I took the wax seal into my study and started searching my records for an indication of who may have sent this mysterious document. After perusing numerous dusty tomes and crumbling scrolls I finally came across a copy of the symbol from the seal. It appeared to be hastily sketched and had this notation next to it: The secretive Crimson Fellowship is one of the most exclusive organizations on Telon. The Knights of the Fellowship wander the world settling disputes, righting wrongs and on occasion recruiting an individual who shows exceptional potential. The origins of the Fellowship are cloaked in secrecy but many believe they predate the Cataclysm. This certainly seems likely given the rumored base of the Crimson Fellowship: an island fortress secluded behind eternal storms and magical wards.

We conversed at length about its meaning and could come to only one conclusion. The elusive Crimson Fellowship has emerged from secrecy to walk amongst us. Details are sketchy at this time and I am sure as the days pass there will be more information available. Be on the lookout for its members. Rumor has it they are allowed to identify themselves and will be wandering Telon with smiling faces. They will be willing to lend an ear, offer advice, and could be possibly recruiting. This is indeed exciting news and I welcome the members of the Crimson Fellowship to our growing community.
