Description

Ancient guardians of glacial sites. Slowest trust gain but highest reward tier of any faction.

Roots

Holy-rooted. The faction traces back to its Holy founder, Kaell Frostmark, one of the eight Holy founders among the 18 Brotherhood researchers (home biome B053 Frostfall Crater). An ancient faction was reshaped by its founder, not created.

Leader

Not recorded. The faction table has no leader field.

Territory

Capital recorded on the civilization table: Vigil Keep in B036 Frostvein Tundra, type Fortified Research Station, population 6000. Facilities recorded: Blight Containment Laboratory, Glacial Archives, Phase Research Chamber, and Frostmere Star Observatory.

Starting control

Eight biome pages name the Frosthold Vigil as starting control:

Contested

The faction table gives the Frosthold Vigil a foothold in eight biomes where another faction has starting control:

Neutral presence on the civilization table: B055 Voidspire Abyss.

Control can change during play, and quests follow whoever controls the biome at the time.
