Vilnus 4th Legion
Size: 2000
The 4th Legion is made up of soldiers who have publicly been declared dead. Its numbers are composed of soldiers from a wide variety of backgrounds, often those seeking purpose or a worthy death in the wake of a personal tragedy, or the prestige of serving with one of Vilnus’s more exclusive Legions, while others are conscripted, having committed a crime or act that would otherwise have them killed, imprisoned, or exiled. In return for a clean slate or a chance of redemption, they willingly give their old lives to the defense of Vilnus. Taking in members from all backgrounds (so long as they have the necessary skill and experience), the Vilnus 4th is one of, if not the most adaptable military forces in Vilnus.
Originally named for the symbolic death of the members' former identities upon joining; the Legion has given birth to a multitude of myths. The most commonly held is the rumour that the Legions members themselves are undead, the ghosts of fallen soldiers, who have stayed upon this plain to defend their homes. The stories change depending on who tells them, leaving the Legion with a perpetual air of mystery.
Notable Individuals
