An Argonian Templar background that is free for others to use - join the Vakka
Part of the Argonian organization known as “Vakka”, in the dry-skin tongue it is commonly known as “Sun-Scales”.
Remnants from the old civilization, The Vakka are Warrior-Priests dedicated to Atakota - the beginning.
Unlike Shadow-Scales, the Vakka operate on volunteer basis. Taking in orphans or any lost soul looking for purpose.
Upon completion of their training every initiate licks the sap of the Vakka Hist to undergo a transformation. Cleansed in light, they give up their old names and take up the title “Vakka”.
In service they travel the land and eliminate threats to Argonian tribes and the rest of Tamriel.

Hexvaldr✭✭✭This is awesome. Does such an organization exist in lore or is this your invention? It is interesting to me, especially because I have an Argonian named "Shkovaka" who wears that same skin!0 -

It is an invention based on existing lore
"Vakka" and "sun-scale" can be found in old Argonian lore. The Sun is prominent in old Argonian civilization.
With that I assume there is an antithesis, of sorts, to the "Shadow-Scale" organization that existed at some point in Argonian History.

BulletMagnetX✭✭✭Might the new Mireheart Scale skin be an appropriate option? It's green scales with glowing yellow eyes and veins.Molag's balls!0 -

✭✭✭✭Post was updated with more accurate lore.
Sun-Scales are dedicated to Atak, brother and antithesis to Sithis.
Sithis (otherwise known as Kota) is void and change
Atak (or Anu) is light, stasis, and order.
Not only is this change more accurate to the lore but it also provides are stronger thematic contrast to Shadowscales.

✭✭✭✭well several people in the past have been asking me if their was a guild for this - so I decided to go ahead and make it.
the Guild is called "Scales-of-Sun" - members are called Vakka-Eix or "Sun-Scales" in the common tongue.
The guild is just starting out but it'll be for Roleplay & PvE.
it can be found under Ebonheart Pact but alliance does not matter - just that you have an Argonian Templar
Roleplay can be "roleplay sessions" with dice and/or acting in character while doing content. Whatever you are comfortable with.0 -
BulletMagnetX✭✭✭Traditionally adventuring parties have members of many skillsets and backgrounds, even if they are serving the purpose of the same organisation represented by prominent party members.
Are only templars allowed? Surely they would have auxiliaries and associates to fill in their skill gaps, feed intelligence to the temple, and serve other logistical needs. No organisation built to last can manage by being 100% ideologically pure in their associations, their networks, and their recruitment.Molag's balls!0 -

1. I did say it was a niche
2. Think of it like a traditional organization of paladins0
