The Vanic Temple Guard (VTG) - also known among the Elwynnese Vanafolk as Elwynns Eorlwerod (EE), which means Elwynn's host of noble warriors in the Angsax language - is an armed force for the purpose of carrying out sentry, protection and ceremonial duties for and at temples of the Froyalanish Ancient Ways in Elwynn and other premises, sites and establishments in the Flower of the North which are under the temporal or spiritual authority of the Church of the Froyalanish Ancient Ways as well as the clerics, guests and staff of the aforesaid. The VTG is held in strict subordination to the Yfirfroyalansgythia and owes her absolute obedience.

History
Spiritually the Vanic Temple Guard traces its roots back to the temple guard that was raised by Lady Lilja the Devout, the foundress and first High Priestess of the Thingeyri Temple in times ancient beyond the memory of woman for the purpose of performing sentry, protection and ceremonial functions at the Thingeyri Temple.
Its Elwynnese origins can be traced to the guards of the Vattnalandish temples in the days of yore and the Huskarls from his retinue which the Count Harald of Araxion put at the disposal of the first non-Vattnalandish temple of the Ancient Ways, the Vanic Temple in Araxion which is ever since the inclusion of the Goddess Elwynn in the worship of the Froyalanish and Wintergleamish Vanafolk known as the White Orchid Temple.
Ranks
The ranks of the Vanic Temple Guard are chiefly derived from the ancient and rich Angsax warrior tradition of the Princely Precinct of the Elwynnese Union which is known as the Jarlorð of Jorvik and the Storish Jarldom which is known as the Duchy of Port Chloe and the Providence Plantations.
