Whether or not Nyatha won the position by honourable means, her dedication to the fort was never doubted. In 430 she promoted the creation of the Marali Vanguard, which she accompanied closely until her disappearance two years later. Her Vanguard believes that she left Marali to infiltrate the Black Hand and worries about her well-being, after four years without news. The last time Nyatha Vaup has been seen, she was wearing a strange emblem with the words "The Iron Gauntlet" in it.
