The Red Legion

The legion is the military force of the the Cult of Sanomudra/Visrqn Empire and are split into Three different groups: Crimson Guard, Legionnaire, and Reapers
Legionnaire: Legionnaires are typically taken from their home at a young age and then trained to become some of the finest warriors Yyradayn has ever seen. They act as the attacking and occupying force when the cult/empire makes a move on a neighboring city-states or nomad tribes. While they are a formidable force, they are no where near the skill level of the Reapers or Crescent Moons
Crimson Guard: They are the special forces of the Red Legion and go through special training after they finished boot camp as a legionary if they show that they have unique gifts or prove to be a cut above the rest. Some get into the Crimson Guard due to valor in battle and going above and beyond the call of duty. The Crimson Guard is typically the spear head of the army, always the first to see battle and taste victory or suffer in defeat. Members of the Reapers and Crescent Moons are typically chosen from the ranks of the Crimson Guard.
Reapers: The Reapers are pure monsters, destroying everything in their path, all with out saying a word as they are sworn to silence so that they can put all their energy into fighting and killing. There are usually only 6-8 of them at one time and they are very rarely deployed, typically stationed on different levels of the Royal Palace to guard it from any who may dare attack The Red Priestess . When an outstanding individual is picked from the Crimson Guard and then chosen to be a Reaper, based on several different factors but the main two are combat prowess and magical ability, they are taken to the depths of the royal palace where high ranking priests and sometimes even the Red Priestess herself will perform a ritual that involves injecting small amount of the blood of a lesser devil into the Reaper and at the same time, ancient demonic & elvish runes are carves into the victim, these runes are suppose to allow the body to control the immense power of the devil, but this is typically not enough and so they are bared from speaking or doing any unnecessary actions cause doing so may allow the power of the devil take hold and cause a catastrophe. The Reapers also never sleep due to the Devil's voice in their head that cause intense and violent nightmares that await them when they fall asleep, the nightmares weaken the control they have on the devil's power and are more likely to be driven to madness, the Reapers use a special narcotic, made by the Red Priestess, to help keep them awake and not feel the need to sleep. Even with the runes and precautions taken it is still not full proof and often times when a Reaper is replaced it is because the previous one had to be killed cause it had lost control. In return for taking on all that danger, the Reapers are given a boost in every skill and attribute at their disposal and will have unnatural powers, though if they over use their abilities they will lose control, there is only one case of a Reaper being able to speak and move about relatively normally without succumbing to the madness of power.
