Wrynn's Vanguard is one of the brand new faction found in the World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor expansion pack. Stationed at the base of Stormshield in Ashran, Wrynn's Vanguard are the Alliance based forces found here. Ashran is the brand new, level 100, instanced cross-realm world PvP zone being released with this expansion. Ashran also refers to the greater portion of the zone, which is not PvP affiliated.

These members of the Alliance have been sent into Dreanor at the bequest of King Wrynn. These elite members have been tasked with exploring the island of Ashran. Once home to a mighty ogre empire, the island now lays in total ruin. However, the secrets to be found here are limitless.

One of these secrets, powerful artifacts left over from days past, are the reason the Wrynn's Vanguard faction is here. These artifacts are so powerful that, according to Harrison Jones, it may even compare to Titan technology. Of course, both factions wish to capture this artifact and use it against the other. Also out to collect these artifacts are the Steamwheedle Preservation Society, who only want to turn a profit, and the Highmaul Ogre clan. Thus a race of sorts has ensued, with both factions (and others) frantically searching for these artifacts to use to defend against the other.

Wrynn's Vanguard- Artifact Fragments

As previously mentioned, this faction revolves around collecting those fabulous Artifact Fragments. Collecting these little beauties is all important. These Fragments can be looted from mobs in Ashran, as well as enemy players. Mobs killed in each quadrant of Ashran, for Artifact Fragments, reward a buff that increases the amount of Fragments gained. Be careful though, Fragments can also be rewarded by killing other players, yourself included. When any death occurs, the player drops half the Fragments he or she is currently carrying.

Wrynn's Vanguard – Rewards

Rewards are aplenty when it comes to this faction and can be purchased from Crafticus Mindbender. Crafticus can be found at the Horde base in Ashran. Many of these rewards can be very useful inside this unpredictable zone.
