The Dawn Vigil
May your light never go out
Divisions and Where You Fit In!
Did you think an organization as large in scale as the Dawn Vigil wouldn't have its branches? Well of course it does! We welcome all adventurers into our ranks, no matter what their background or speciality may be. So, it is only natural that we have some kind of system to better make use of their ability and experience.
Let us see where you belong.
| Guardians | Scholars | Rangers |
|---|---|---|
| Our first line of defense against all the beasties that threaten society! Our warriors and slayers of beasts great and small. Be you strong of arm and brave of soul? Do you possess a power with which you could face down an ancient deity? Do you merely love all things possessing an edge and seek battle above all other things? Then this is where you belong. Join the Guardians and help keep the people of this Star safe. | Are you seeking knowledge long lost? Do you long to understand all that is aetherical? Are you simply too good with a wand to consider doing anything else? Then here is where you belong. The Scholars handle all that is magical within the Company. Healers, Mages, explorers of ancient ruins... The Scholars need and train all that wish to broaden their understanding of our Star. | Are you most at home away from home? Does the field call to you, the woods and plains of our Star holding such an allure that you simply can't stay still? Then perhaps you had best join the Rangers! Our spies and scouts, the Rangers travel across our Star and identify threats for our Guardians or ancient hoards for our Scholars. Without the Rangers, we would be lost. |
The Quest Board!
There's no end to the needs of this Star's people. From supplies to protection, the Dawn Vigil accepts all requests, big or small, and finds the adventurers best suited to the task. Visit the job board regularly and pick up quests best suited to your abilities! Only you can decide how grand the adventure will be.

To that end, we will do what the Scions can't. We will go where the Grand Companies will not go. The world over, we will fight for the people of our star.Given such a lofty goal, the Vigil needs people. Talented people from all walks of life. Warriors, artisans, merchants... Adventurers seeking their place in our star, or the next great adventure.Will you join us?

Deumschurtz!
By Cyrus Kalcos
Ascians are a strange and dangerous bunch but none are more strange than the one called Deumschurts. This particular Ascian is an outcast of Ascian “Society”, if you can call it that, as he was deemed too sundered to be of any use. Yes; Deumshurtz is perhaps the most sundered being in existence, having an unknown number of shards and a heavily fractured mind as a result. Their shards vary widely from those of relatively sound mind to those that think spiders have a good fashion sense.Through a cruel twist of fate the single mindedness of the shards has given them access to a terrifying power, the ability to change the world around them to fit whatever they believe. For instance; If a shard believes a single feather to weigh as much as an entire chocobo, it will become so.Now you may be wondering: What hope do we have against such terrifyingly evil beings as these? That’s where the Dawn Vigil comes into play! As the one and only line of defense against these mad beings, the Vigil has thwarted their schemes time and time. Indeed, they have thwarted the dastardly Deumschurtz so many times, to date, that they’ve become a primary target of the shards’ dreadful plans.Now that you know the threat are you willing to join the fight against madness itself?
Concerning Sharfolk
By Raven Lyer
You might have noticed a few, well, "odd" names in the Free Company's roster. You may have thought, for a second, that you were going quite mad. Names like Took, Gamgee, Brandybuck, or (twelve forgive) Baggins simply don't belong!Well, allow me to put your mind at ease.You are quite mad. The names are there. They do, indeed, belong.The Dawn Vigil plays host to a small group of little seen Lalafell folk referred to as Sharfolk, or Sharlings.These people hail from Sharlaya, having set down homestead in, what is now known as, Idyllshire in days past; before all this nasty business with Garlemald drove them out.Well, a select few have returned to Eorzea and plan to make their way back to their chosen home; And we of the Vigil are proud to assist them! Do what you can to welcome these folk home, and lend them an ear, a sword, or coin for second breakfast when you can!
