!!Tropes applying to all of them:
* MentorOccupationalHazard: The player character is paired with a more experienced member of their Order to guide them as they learn the ropes. [[spoiler:Said mentor will pull a HeroicSacrifice during the Battle of Claw Island, [[YouShallNotPass holding off hordes of Risen so that you can escape with your allies]].]]
* WeAreStrugglingTogether: Whenever their representatives cross paths, they tend to spend precious time butting heads and belittling each others' preferred methods - this even extends to their leaders. Zhaitan's attack on Claw Island serves as a wake-up call that the Elder Dragons ''will'' destroy Tyria unless they put their petty squabbles aside and fight as one.

Three organizations dedicated to combating the threat of the Elder Dragons. The Durmand Priory are scholars who hope to uncover a key to victory in ancient knowledge; the secretive Order of Whispers aims to keep peace from the shadows; and the armies of the Vigil battle the minions of the Dragons wherever they may arise. Player characters join one of the Orders as part of their personal story, but eventually come to conclusion that they need to work together if Tyria hopes to survive. To that end, they unite and form the Pact.
