Here's your chance to see how the game has evolved, and to step back in time to earlier development stages. I created this thread on the official forums awhile ago. Since I know I will never have the time update it with all the new media out there, I'm dedicating it to all the affiliate sites. This thread has many of the older screenshots, videos, writeups, interviews, and more. Enjoy ;D

1.)If you're looking for a specific topic and don't feel like shifting through links, try using the "Find" option in your web browser.
2.)An asterix (*) next to a post means it is a relatively new shot that has been added. And a 'B' means a Beta Player Submitted photo.
3.)If there are any broken links, or you'd like me to add something post it here and I'll try and take care of it

Chapter 1 - Continents of Telon
There are 3 starting continents of Telon: Thestra, Qalia, and Kojan. Each has a different setting. Thestra is a medieval setting; Qalia has more of a desert, or "Arabian Nights" appeal to it; while Kojan is your Oriental setting. First, here's an overview video of the continents.[/url]

Thestra:

Qalia:

Kojan:
Kojan is the most undeveloped continent in Vanguard so far. Thusly the screen shots are sparse.


Note: Other parts of Kojan can be found in some of the racial pictures. They'll be a disclaimer next to them so they're easier to find.

[B]Chapter 2 - Races[/b]

In no particular order, here are all the expected races for Vanguard in all their glory. Be sure to check out this video from Silky Venom from the 2005 E3.[/url]

Also, I couldn't decide where to put these two so I figured I'd show them here. And for everyone that's against the same skeletal structure for all the races take a look at the diversity you have: 1 & 2

Dwarves:

Vulmane:

Barbarian: Note: There are two Races of Barbarians: The Varanjar, and the Varathari. Since screenshots for each of these races is scarce I've put them in the same section.

Dark Elf:

High Elf:

Wood Elf:

Orc:

Thestran (Human):

Halfling:

Kurashasa:

Mordebi (Human):


Half-Elf:

Goblin:

Qaliathari (Human):

Lesser Giant:


(Looks like some races were a little camera shy ;))

Kojani (Human):

Raki:

Gnome:

Looks good, except, one error:

The links are wrong, not sure how you had these all setup, but, either your a hrefs are setup incorrectly or our forums did something.

Might want to fix or delete.

Thanks,
