Iron Vanguard

The Iron Vanguard is a mercenary company that represents the interests of Dullahans, and one of the Four Great Companies of Baleros. The company flag consists of a disembodied helm, armor, and gauntlet.

Background

The Iron Vanguard's name is based on the fact that they mainly enlist Dullahans, whom are basically walking suits of armor. However, they are not Dullahan-exclusive and allow anyone with good armor to join the company. They are based in the north, with at least eighteen cities under their protection, and also have one of the world's most powerful armada. They have a tradition of making an adamantium armor for their [Generals], whenever it was plentiful.

Similar to Dullahans, Iron Vanguard's ships are armored in metal. They possess the only two Krakenbane Destroyers in the world.

The Midnight Shields: Elites of the company. They wear armor black as night which essentially makes them near-invisible in the darkness.
