Vanguard is the fourth main scenario Dungeon in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail, added in patch 7.0.

Story

Zoraal Ja retreats to the dome in Yyasulani, but not before laying siege to his home and slaying his own father. This foul deed cannot go unpunished, and so Wuk Lamat lays plans to pierce the dome and pursue him. To that end, the engineers of Xak Tural Railing refit their ceruleum-powered train christened the Dawnblazer, and after avoiding fire from Zoraal Ja's forces, successfully send it careening into the fortress bridging the dome with the outside world. With the path forward now open, the battle for Tuliyollal begins as you and your companions take your first bold steps into enemy territory.
