The Arcane Vigil Ever vigilant in the pursuit of knowledge About Us: The vigil is not an ancient, strict order of mages. Nor are we some exclusive cult. Nay, we are a casual magical brotherhood, bound together in our quest for knowledge! Our thirst for adventure and knowledge leads us far and wide, from the dark depths of crumbling ruins or merely a journey together to a distant city. Whatever the case may be, the Vigilants stand united, watching each others backs and congregating together for safety against those whom would seek to harm us. We care not for wars or power, only for knowledge! A brief history: The Arcane Vigil is not an old nor storied name. Yet our roots trace back to another name. The Arcane Delvers. A guild founded in the days of Asulon in a time where magi were despised and abused, much like they are today in parts of the world. Polgrath the mindlord, a master of Illusion banded together with the Sorcerer Richard Tarus to create a place where magi might live and study together in peace. A place that would come to be known as Ac’talareh. The guild flourished with Polgrath at the helm, its members frequently going off on adventures of all kinds. However Polgrath eventually left the Delvers. After his departure, the Delvers saw different leaders come and go, the guild changing slightly (and in some cases dramatically) to fit each different leaders whims. Yet still they, for the most part, prospered, growing to become the largest non nation affiliated organisation. Yet the Delvers slowly faded away. The leadership grew feeble, and the vast numbers of members grew to be lazy. Before long, the Delvers crumbled into nothing. Years went by and they faded from the memories of most. But not all. It had been years since the words Arcane Delvers had been seen on any sort of document, yet in the year 1462, it saw light once more. An ex Regent by the name Jonathan Elers, a master aeromancer and an Ex delver veteran by the name Vuln Shadeleaf, a master geomancer met together and agreed it was time. Time to bring back that which had died. Letters were sent to all corners of the Fringe and a meeting was called for any that might listen. Before long, the new guild was steadily underway, founded on the original concepts of Polgrath. A group of like minded mages, warriors, adventurers but most of all learners, banded together once more for comradery and safety. The Arcane Delvers were truly dead.
