	The chapterhouse of the Dauntless Light stands on the coast of Necropolis, just south of [[Necropolis#Sanctuary_Sand\|Sanctuary]]. The focal point of the chapterhouse is the lighthouse at the top of the cliff but there is a small town and docks at the bottom, where most of the chapter lives. The lighthouse is rumoured to be one of the first structures built when the Highborn [[Highguard_history#The_Founding\|arrived]] in the Bay of Catazar. Traditionally, the lighthouse was surmounted with a fire brazier, but fifty years ago this was replaced with an immense Urizeni lightstone and cunning mithril mirrors.

			Harken's Vigil formed as a bulwark against raiders from the sea who sought to plunder Highguard’s coast, taking the namesake of their home and its founder as a declaration that they will stand watch eternally over their shore and their siblings.

			During the calmer months, when the horizon is empty and no raiders encroach on the baleful light of the walls and watchtowers, a cadre of the chapter travels to the Anvil to build and strengthen alliances, aid siblings in their ventures, and gather resources to maintain their defences in preparation.

			The Couros River Penitents are a Highborn chapter based in Hedrossan, Necropolis. They teach that repentance should be demonstrated through action, and that wrongdoing creates an obligation to make restitution. Their maxim is “No Absolution Without Restitution.”

			The chapter has strong mercantile interests and owns the Couros River Trading Company docks in Hedra. The docks are modest, but the company is overseen by a board drawn from several nations of the Empire, with particularly strong ties to the League.

			The Penitents regard wealth as a means of meeting obligations, supporting worthwhile endeavours, and creating lasting value. They have consequently developed a reputation for involving themselves in questions of finance, trade, and public works. They are particularly interested in what the Empire chooses to build, how such works are funded, and who ultimately bears the cost.

	Balthazar began his adult life as a poor merchant on the River Couros, trading in the wares of the common person. Though his existence was less-than-affluent, he saved enough to move away from the coast and buy a plot of land on the edge of the Elmwood Forests of Bastion. Trading in the shadows of the wealthy, he noticed that money rarely changed hands without a glass of wine at the table. Therefore, wishing to seek his fortune by providing what the rich desired, Balthazar used his land to plant a vineyard.

			Nakir's Haven was founded by those who believed that lineage did not alter or conflict with their dedication to their nation, the Empire, or The Way. They built a structure that blended with the natural features around it; a great pool sits inside the walls of the keep, vines twist over the walls, and a canopy of trees maintains a cool shade year-round. The wave of Spring brought by Llofir has tipped the balance in favour of nature, for now at least.

			At first, when the Druj swarmed into Reikos, it was of little consequence. Behind strong ivy-covered walls, and with the protection of [[Night_magic#Obfuscation\|Night magic]], the group simply increased their defences and waited. This wait was in vain, however, as the Druj continued to bring destruction closer and closer to their door. The chapter lost many in the years that followed, including their former exarch.
