Vigil's Keep is a fortress in Amaranthine. When Amaranthine fell to the Orlesians, the Howe family did not surrender. Instead, they chose the fortress Vigil's Keep as their base of operations. When the Orlesians were defeated during the Fereldan Rebellion in 8:99 Blessed, Vigil's Keep was the first place that the flag of Amaranthine was raised again. After this, Amaranthine became the new home of the Howe family.
In 9:30 Dragon, the keep was given to the Grey Wardens by the Fereldan monarchy following the end of the Fifth Blight. If the Warden-Commander invested in silverite armor for the Vigil's soldiers, they eventually come to be known as the Silver Order. Under the tutelage of the Wardens, the Silver Order developed into one of Ferelden's most revered military forces, a lasting memory of the Vigil's famous commander.
