# The Vanguard Challenge

<figure><img src="/files/rlln9hEBY2UXtQ5aiRf8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### The most popular event

Created by [<mark style="color:red;">**Namarus**</mark>](/vyder-lore-book/species/midasis/namarus.md), and produced by his company Clash Productions, the Vanguard Challenge is an extremely popular annual event in the [<mark style="color:red;">**Nodus**</mark>](/vyder-lore-book/the-universe/the-nodus.md).

**It allows participants to face the most difficult and dangerous tests to prove their worth.**

Of course, strength is not everything and cunning, technique and betrayal are often used as weapons.

### Stick to your values

Namarus boasts to be a Vanguard creator but this event has no value with the VYDER that remains the only judge.

**A participant can very well win the challenge without becoming a** [<mark style="color:red;">**Vanguard**</mark>](/vyder-lore-book/the-universe/the-vanguards.md)**.**

On the other hand, he can also become a [<mark style="color:red;">**Vanguard**</mark>](/vyder-lore-book/the-universe/the-vanguards.md) without winning the challenge.

**What counts is how much he has surpassed himself and proved that he is ready to do anything to defend his values.**

But Namarus is careful not to reveal this in order to keep the myth around his event alive and to continue to absorb all the attention of the [<mark style="color:red;">**Midasis**</mark>](/vyder-lore-book/species/midasis.md), but also of some [<mark style="color:red;">**Eclerays**</mark>](/vyder-lore-book/species/eclerays.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://lore.vyder.gg/vyder-lore-book/the-universe/the-vanguard-challenge.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
