8th Legion, Casa Nicia
The 8th Legion, Casa Nicia, is one of the newest legions trained by the Empire of Dercia after the empire had a series of years with a hold on the training of new recruits as many of the soldiers tended to stay in the army and by the time of the hold, the army was getting larger than necessary.
Notable characters
Althea Karina Murena
Altheia grew up as the youngest daughter of a senatorial family. Being the youngest in a large group of kids, she received the best education money could buy, and when she reached the right age, she signed up for the legions. After four months of training, she was sent to the 3rd Legion, where she was raised through the ranks due to her father's connections. While she had the skills to do well in the new ranks, she wasn't happy to receive the new ranks without having proven her skills properly. Althea would, after a record time, be granted the title Legatus Legionis and be transferred to the newly established 8th legion with the orders to pack the legions equipment and help the soldiers close family if they had any and then make their way towards a city to the south called Nicia which were to become their new base.Romanus Orca
Romanus Orca is a veteran of the Dercian army, having served in the legions for more than 20 years. Romanus was promoted some years ago to the Primus Pilus, being promoted to the commanding officer of the first cohort in the legion. His family has a long tradition of military service, with his twin sister serving in the navy, commanding an Aquillia class warship. He and his sister are currently the members of his family that have reached the highest niveau in ranks. Later he was transferred to the 8th Legion to give the legion some experienced commanders. While he believes Althea to be very green and maybe too green to be in command of an entire legion, he thinks she has the potential to become a very good Legtus Legionis.Banners/symbols
