Vanguard: Saga of Heroes lore: Secrecy’s Price – The Invitation

Would you take responsibility for following your dreams? That seems to be one of the main theme of the latest story in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes.

In it, Sony Online Entertainment regales us with a tale of a former apprentice Sage en route to becoming a master, and a young man with big dreams of becoming a Sage himself. More of the story follows after the jump.

Some of the most interesting stories involve tales interwoven with other tales. That appears to be the case with this latest Vanguard: Saga of Heroes story from Sony Online Entertainment (SOE).

The story is actually divided into two parts: one involves former apprentice Sage Hanrick Lantier, while the other involves a young man named Sage Rendil Wainscott. In the first half of the tale, Lantier’s master, Dorrin Longreat, informs Lantier that the latter is ready to take an apprentice under his wing.

Despite the younger Sage’s momentary surprise, he sees he eventually agrees. The two of them work out a compromise: Lantier has permission to employ some new teaching methods, on the condition that he inform Longreat of the new training methodology and allow the latter access to the new apprentice as required.

The drama then picks up in the second half of the tale. During a moment of truthful soul-searching with his father, Rendil Wainscott admits his secret wish to train as a Sage. His father then lets him go, and a new apprentice Sage is born.

In a nutshell, that is the current tale of Rendil Wainscott and Hanrick Lantier in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. If you’d like to read SOE’s dramatic story in its entirety, just click on the source link below.
