Origin

The Mountain Guard was founded by Ayrell Evyntine-Vershir in the year 442. Following an attack on the city of Shard by a pack of flayed snowbeasts, Ayrell grew concerned about the lack of an organized defensive force to aid Shard's Sentinels in the protection of Shard and the surrounding lands of Ilithi in the event of such exceptional threats. It was with this in mind that Ayrell decided to reach out in an effort to recruit others with similar concerns and an equal desire to ensure the safety of the province.

Behind the Name

When the Mountain Guard was initially formed, there was some confusion regarding the unit's intent and membership based on the name chosen to identify it, due to Ayrell's known affiliation with the Mountain Elves. At the initial meeting of the Guard, Ayrell explained the origin of the name and why she chose it for the militia, expressing that the Mountain Guard is not limited to Mountain Elves and is, in fact, an Ilithi unit, open to anyone, of any race, who wishes to offer their assistance in protecting the Crystal City and surrounding areas.

Per Ayrell, the name "Mountain Guard" was chosen as a nod to the unit in which she served as a Lieutenant during the Outcast War. The unit at that time was known as the Ilithi Mountain Guard and was a Shard military unit tasked with patrolling and protecting the northern lands of Ilithi, including the Dragonspine Mountains. Although the Ilithi Mountain Guard was led by Commander Fierolan Vanyahin, also of the Mountain Elves, it was an Ilithi/Shard military unit, not a Mountain Elf unit. As the Ilithi Mountain Guard has always held a special place in Ayrell's heart, it was her desire to keep the memory alive by reviving the name for the current militia, though with the removal of "Ilithi" in the name so as to avoid any confusion as to the unofficial nature of the endeavor. While the Sentinel Captain Cierzen and Her Grace, Ferdahl Aemmin, were sent a formal letter to notify them of Ayrell's intentions for the Guard, no official recognition from the Tower has been extended, therefore the unit remains an unofficial defense force at this time.

Recruitment

The Mountain Guard is always looking for dedicated and loyal members to join their ranks and strengthen the defense of Ilithi. Interested parties are welcome to reach out to Ayrell Evyntine-Vershir for more information.

Patrols

Periodic patrols are conducted by the Mountain Guard as a group effort to ensure the safety of Shard. These patrols are planned in advance and done as a unit, though individual patrols are also conducted by members in the interim to make sure Ilithi is always under surveillance in case any unexpected threats arise.
