The '''Vigil''' are a band of people who deceived most by claiming that they were monitoring the elemental plane since the death of [[Agatheis]] but in reality it was all a cover to raise their leader [[Pazuzu]].
The '''Vigil''' were a motley a band of people who apparently convened to monitor the [[element|elemental]] planes since 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.


In the year 758 AF, the Vigil decided to use the cover of the [[Elemental War]] to sacrifice themselves and bolster their powers of the elemental conduits by sacrificing themselves. Their ritual was a success and Pazuzu was released from his crystal prison in [[Kasmarkin]]. The ritualists who lost their lives were [[Tiamenjiara]], the court conjurer of Zanzibaar, [[Ryina]], the cook from Adryn's Keep, [[Rhuhu]], of Luman Village, [[Salyn]], the village guard of [[Ka'doloki]], and [[Joshua]], carpenter of Delos.
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]]. Now suffused with connections to the powers underlying all of creation, six members of the Vigil—[[Tiamenjiara]], [[Ryina]], [[Rhuhu]], [[Salyn]], and [[Joshua]]—ritually sacrificed themselves, directing the energy towards [[Kasmarkin]] to shatter the crystal prison of the demon prince and finally fulfilling their centuries-long objective.
