The Alliance Vanguard encompasses all the forces fighting for the Alliance including:
- Explorers' League (Ironforge)
- The Frostborn (Frost dwarves)
- The Silver Covenant (High elves)
- Valiance Expedition (Stormwind)
Their Horde counterpart is the Horde Expedition.
Half of the reputation gains from the Alliance Vanguard's four sub-factions count towards this the Alliance Vanguard's reputation.
For example, doing a quest for the Valiance Expedition, earning you 250 reputation with the Valiance Expedition, also gives 125 reputation with the Alliance Vanguard. Therefore, you must have two of the four sub-factions at Exalted in order to be exalted with the Alliance Vanguard, or the equivalent amount of reputation spread across all four.
Rewards
None of the four sub-factions have their own rewards, or quartermaster. Rewards for those four factions are therefore the Alliance Vanguard rewards.
