	Attempts to catalogue paragons and exemplars of Vigilance have met with mixed success. In some cases, the disaster they prevent or the catastrophe that goes averted results in their heroism going unsung. More notable are those who publicly expose traitors, infiltrators, and black-hearted villains.

	The Virtue of Vigilance is popular amongst those charged with ensuring the safety of things precious; from the inquisitor who seeks out treacherous cultists, to the scrivener who scrutinises their dhomiro’s records against fraud and theft, to the shepherds in the fields. The threats to the Empire and its citizens are many and varied and all must be prepared for, guarded against and actively opposed lest they tear down civilisation. Not all threats carry arms like the barbarians; some come with smiles and lies, like false-faced eternals, or even lie in the hearts of weak citizens. Through diligence, detail, and dedication in all things does one person’s Vigilance safeguard another from harm.

The watchtower allows one to see great distances and prepare for coming threats, while a fortified tower or a '''castle''' allow one to protect that which is precious. Along similar lines, other tools of warding and warning are common symbols of the path, especially the '''bell''', the '''barred gate''', and the '''beacon'''.

	Mystically inclined [[Urizen]] favour the '''unblinking eye''' (an eye without lids). The eye has a great deal of [[Urizen_hearth_magic#The eye\|hearth magic]] significance, and is often painted onto surfaces such as gates, doors, and the base of [[Urizen_culture_and_customs#The_Heliopticon\|heliopticon]] towers as a reminder of the need to stay alert. During their Spring festival, they represent Vigilance with green flowers or sometimes wreaths of green leaves.
