Varanguard

Circles of the Varanguard

• The Swords of Chaos: The First Circle of the Varanguard. Archaon's chosen warriors named for his original Warband from the World that Was. The Swords of Chaos are described as entering battle using portals torn open in the sky letting them strike anywhere at a moments notice.
• The Souls of Torment: The Second Circle of the Varanguard. Not much specific information exists on this Circle only that they are "Sowers of Sorrow and Despair" and that "they grant their foes the release of death only when all hope is lost".
• The Scions of Darkness: The Third Circle of the Varanguard. While they have limited information about their nature of disposition they are described as "Dreaded Warriors cloaked in unnatural shadow, confounding the aim of those who would seek to strike them down from afar."

The Black Pilgrimage

The audiobook Scourge of Fate details some of the process of ascension to the Varanguard, a process referred to as the "Black Pilgrimage" with those embarking upon the Pilgramage referred to as Black Pilgrims. The process shown refers specifically to the recruitment rites of the fifth circle of the Varanguard also known as The Scourges of Fate. The steps taken by a Black Pilgrim of The Scourges of Fate include:

• Sponsorship by an existing Knight of the Varanguard corresponding to the circle the Pilgrim is attempting to join. Resembling something closer to Discipleship rather than squiring.
• Seeking out and obtaining a Daemon weapon.
• Defeating a rival pilgrim in single combat
