The Foreign Legion

[grnappa 1230]

The Foreign Legion

~Volunteers making their way to The Othaman Stronghold to join the Foreign Legion, c. 1868~

 

“I have mortally opposed the Pretender King; I have stormed and taken the towns and castles which he unjustly claimed as his own.” - King Andrik Vydra, c. 1491

 

On the Forming of the Foreign Legion

 

The Foreign Legion serves as the gateway for non-Imperial citizens to engage in official military operations. This organization shall consist of foriegn-born men and women in addition to native Orenians who wish for a sense of adventure and plunder. After a modest period of valorous service or suffering injuries in the line of duty, the Legionnaire can expect Imperial citizenship. Formed by Sir Erik Othaman to supplement the Imperial State Army during the Brother’s War, the Foreign Legion during times of war are supplied by the Imperial logistical system and are able to keep 100% of their spoils.

 

Many of the volunteers of this unit are primarily Raevir or Waldenian in culture, but a fair few heartlanders and even farfolk have spent time in the Foreign Legion and have sacrificed in the name of the Emperor and their home country. Although the Legionnaire must fight for their Emperor, it is equally as important for the soldier to remember where they came from and honor their heritage. 

 

Ranks

Kommandant

 

The Kommandant of the Legion is the highest rank attainable for a Legionnaire. He commands the entire unit and entrusts his comrades with his life. Under the watchful eye of the Kommandant, the Legion functions as a melting pot of different cultures morphing into a single, cohesive unit.

 

Lieutenant

 

The Lieutenants of the Legion are to act as the Kommandant’s direct link to the rank and file. They are the ones who make the majority of on-field tactical decisions when the Kommandant is inevitably distracted by the other aspects of warfare. The Lieutenant is entrusted with the training, discipline, and welfare of their soldiers.

 

Serjeant

 

The Serjeants are the most laureled soldiers in the Legion. Not quite an officer but not necessarily enlisted, the Serjeant stands as the shining beacon for all Legionnaires to attain greatness. These Serjeants eat with the rank and file in addition to leading local formations in the absence of an officer. The Serjeants are easily the most feared men of the Foreign Legion.

 

Man-at-Arms

 

The Men-at-arms are the backbone of the Legion. They have proven themselves as capable soldiers among the rank and file, holding their heads high as they hold their laurels close to their chest and march forward with pride. They are deployed alongside their comrades as often as possible and may be selected for special missions.

 

Footman

 

A brand new footman in the Legion is expected to fight for his homeland and his Emperor with the vigor akin to that of a seasoned veteran. Though it is recognized that these Footman are not yet experienced in battle, that does not stop them from showing their prowess in the field of honor by their sheer determination and their desire to advance in the ranks.
