The Adamant Vigil was a dracthyr weyrn. This weyrn was declared by Neltharion to serve as the eyes and ears of the black dragonflight and the legions of dracthyr. Where the black's enemies tread, the Adamant Vigil finds them. Where the black's armies fly, it is their guidance that directs their talons. They learn the weaknesses of their foes and amplify the strength of their allies. Only the most bold, most cunning, and most gifted commanders join the ranks of the Adamant Vigil, and it had unprecedented authority to act on its own initiatives.[1]

In a battle with Raszageth and the Primal Incarnates, the titan relic which Neltharion used to control the wills of the dracthyr was destroyed. Though Raszageth was sealed away, Neltharion could no longer directly control the dracthyr without the relic and so deemed them a risk.[2] Thus the dracthyr weyrns were ordered to the creches beneath the Forbidden Reach by Neltharion, where they were sealed away by Malygos in magical stasis and watched over by his blue dragonflight. They remained there, abandoned and forgotten for nearly 20,000 years, awakened from their long slumber only when the Primalists returned to break Raszageth free, as an ancient, magical surge rippled through the Forbidden Reach, the dracthyr awoke, but from their long stasis their memories became a blur.[3][4]

The Adamant Vigil were ultimately destroyed as they awakened from their slumber, with their Scalecommander being the only survivor.
