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.
