The '''Vigil''' were a motley a band of people who apparently convened to monitor the [[element|elemental]] planes after the death of [[Agatheis]]. In reality, they were a sleeper cell, one with an onus passed down through generations, with the secret purpose of freeing [[Pazuzu]], the demon prince.

At the outset of the [[Elemental War]] in 757 AF the Vigil, led by [[Tiamenjiara]], rallied [[adventurers]] to locate the [[elemental conduits]], ostensibly in to restore the balance of the elements. Over the following months, Sapients devised a means to summon the conduits, to the glee of the mysterious group. A ceremony to restore the elements commenced, but it soon became clear that it was a cover for restoration of another kind: that of the [[demons|daemonic]].
