Welcome to Vanguard: Saga of Heroes!

Congratulations!  Your pre-order of Vanguard allows you to be one of the first to witness the exciting, dangerous, and ever-changing world of Telon.  Telon is a living world, and like any world its early days is going to be fraught with turbulence. xpect us to have to “patch” any cracks as they appear for the first days.

We know you are excited to explore the world we created for you, and we are equally excited to have you here. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the landscape… enjoy the freedom… of Vanguard.
