Founding
Loosely in response to the founding of the Golden Gauntlet, a chapter of loose cannons broke away from the Fulminarian Empire under a new banner. Lead by a wood elf named Idris Epoch, the group started calling themselves the Tenebric Vanguard.
Rounding up any rogue they deemed fitting for their barbaric faction, regardless of what side they originally fought for, they began to fight as a cohesive military unit. Becoming a powerful mercenary group, they loaned out their fighting skills to both sides of the conflict and reaped the benefits. They fought for whoever paid them and charged into battle with shouts of "Blood for the blood gods!"
