VANGUARD OF HUMANITY
THE VANGUARD OF HUMANITY REVEALED THEMSELVES AT THE ONSET OF THE RESONANCE. THEY ARE A MILITANT FACTION WHO BELIEVE THAT THE OVERUSE OF MAGIC WILL LEAD TO THE INEVITABLE DESTRUCTION OF THE WORLD AND THE SOLAR SYSTEM, THUS THEY STRIVE TO GUIDE, AND SOMETIMES FORCE, ALTERED PERSONS BACK ON THE PATH OF HUMANITY. THE VANGUARD HAS NO USE FOR THOSE WHO ARE NO LONGER HUMAN OR CHOOSE NOT TO CONTAIN THEIR GIFTS. THEIR MOST HATED ENEMIES ARE LYCANTHROPES. THEY HUNT DOWN LYCANTHROPES WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE AND EVER PLOT TO OVER THROW ARMA AND THE ORDER OF LIGHT. THOSE ALTERED PERSONS WHO ARE A PART OF THE VANGUARD OF HUMANITY ARE SO BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE ALTERED. THEY MAY ACCEPT WHAT THEY ARE BUT BELIEVE THAT THE ABUSE OF THESE ABILITIES WILL ONLY BRING ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD, THUS THEY STRUGGLE AND STRIVE TO BE HUMAN.
THIS FACTION DOMINATED IN THE EARLY YEARS AS EARTHBORN RAN SCARED AND HORDED THE LIMITED RESOURCES FOR THEMSELVES. BUT AS TIME HAS GONE ON AND THE STAPLES ARE NO LONGER SOMETHING SO HARD TO FIND, AND THE WORLD HAS NOT IMPLODED WITH THE WEIGHT OF THE ALTERED UPON IT, THIS FACTION HAS SEEN A MARKED DECLINE IN THEIR POPULARITY. A FACTION THAT IS LOSING ITS FOOTHOLD CAN BE SEEN AS WEAK… OR VERY…. VERY .. DANGEROUS.
