Eldorian Legionnaires - 12th Legion

The Twelfth Legion of the Eldorian Imperial Army is, by tradition and treaty, responsible for the defense of the city of Gartcha. While the Legion in the Empire proper is made of lifelong military men in both the office core an enlisted ranks, the Legion in Gartcha has a different composition. The soldiers are almost entirely from the region, with the majority serving two-to-five year assignments with hopes of saving enough money to a farm, horse, or simply to marry. The officers are a blend of low ranking, young lieutenants from the Empire, mid-ranking, lifelong and over-experienced Gartchan captains, and a few grizzled, yet often out of favor, senior officers trusted with an important, yet soft appointment in the twilight of their careers. The Legion maintains its usual high standards of discipline and martial skill while serving their function as a deterrent to Zennonaize raiders. The truth of the matter, though, is that the Twelfth Legion is likely the greenest, weakest part of the imperial Army.
