The Argent Vanguard is the main forward base of the Argent Crusade and is located in the Valley of Echoes in Icecrown.[86.9, 76.5]VZ-IcecrownBlip

History[]

Wrath of the Lich King[]

Wrath-Logo-Small This section concerns content related to Wrath of the Lich King.

During the war against the Lich King, it was the first forward base established by the Argent Crusade when they breached Icecrown under the command of Highlord Tirion Fordring. It gave them a path into Scourgeholme, which the highlord hoped to conquer and remake into an Argent Crusade fortress.[1]

The encampment immediately came under heavy attack by waves of undead of every sort assaulting its battlements from Scourgeholme.[2][3] The Argent Crusaders fought back with zeal, using melee weapons and cannons to repel each undead attack, aided also by some adventurers of the Alliance and Horde. Withstanding even hosts of frost wyrms, the Argent Crusade succeeded in throwing the Lich King's minions back from the valley.[4] Not pausing, the breach was reopened and the Argent Crusade began working to establish a foothold on the far side. To achieve this, however, the Crusade's leaders deemed it necessary to pacify Scourgeholme. Under the supervision of Highlord Darion Mograine,[5] the lords of Scourgeholme were slain and the Scourge garrison became unable to resist any further action by the invaders from the Argent Vanguard.[6][7]

Exploring Azeroth[]

WoW-novel-logo-16x62 This section concerns content related to the Warcraft novels, novellas, or short stories.

Following the war against the Jailer, the brothers Bronzebeard reported that the Argent Crusade forces have mostly drawn down the Argent Vanguard in favor of the stronger and more permanent fortifications of the Argent Tournament Grounds, while the forward base still acts as a way station into Icecrown for soldiers of the crusade.[1]

Phases[]

First encountered[]

Before having completed quests in the area, Argent Crusaders are roaming the Valley of Echoes, fighting with Forgotten Depths Slayers. Some crusaders are bound in webs. Forgotten Depths Ambushers will occasionally pop out of a webbing and attack.

Scourge attack[]

After completing N [25-30] A Cold Front Approaches, the Scourge will start attacking on the Argent Vanguard.

Cannons appear on top of the Argent Vanguard Towers. The Valley is filled with scourge of various sorts, and an occasional Frostbrood Destroyer joins the fight.

Aftermath[]

When N [25-30] The Last Line Of Defense is completed the Argent Crusaders once again wander the Valley of Echoes cheering loudly near the dead bodies of the slain Frostbrood Destroyers and various dead Nerubians.

Various NPCs appear at (or move from the Argent Vanguard) a camp at the north end of the Valley of Echoes, just shy of The Breach. While a small group of crusaders guard the Breach from further Scourge invasions.
