The Legion of The Mists
Kitted mostly with old Imperial Legion armor augmented with leather, the average Mist Legionnaire is well-equipped, but far from shiny.
As a combination of Old Isra’s Imperial Legions and City Guard, The Legion of The Mists (Or Mist Legion) serves double duty as New Isra’s protectors and police. They are responsible for maintaining the security of Port Argentium, upholding order on its streets, and seeing Lady Naoki’s will manifest. Legionaries patrol night and day. You can find one on most street corners, ever watchful. The Legion also assists in other types of emergencies, such leading bucket brigades in the event of a fire.
Background
Through The Mist, we’ve found home. As Port Argentium has grown and welcomed more, the need for protection and order has grown with it. Some remnants of the Imperial Legions and some of Old Isra’s City Guard remained, but they were without a leader, directionless. Lady Naoki saw fit to promote @honoka Yuzu, a general from a far-off eastern land, to command.
Being a soldier under Commander Yuzu is not for the weak of body, mind, or spirit. She has an intense teaching style: “tough love,” as she likes to think of it. Your enemies will not be lenient with you, so why should she? She works her fighters down to the bone until they are to her standards. Some former soldiers have been removed by Honoka, forced to find other employment. If she feels they can not handle her rigorous training, she would rather their skills be used elsewhere.
However, once they are trained to her standards, her grip on them lightens up. Behind her tough exterior is a kindhearted woman that wishes for all her fighters to return home from the battlefield alive. Her training makes damn sure of that.
She teaches her soldiers how to fight in close quarters combat and how to dodge or redirect their enemy’s power against them, rather than taking a hit. One unlucky hit and you fall victim to another’s blade. Honoka does not wish to impose that type of risk on her fighters.
Those in her old army found her to be quite down to earth when she isn’t working them to the bone. She will promote those that have proved themselves to her. Honoka will let anyone regardless of class, gender, or skin color join her ranks — as long as they’re fit enough.
Under her guidance,The Legion of The Mists is a blade that is always on the grindstone.
Structure
The Legion of The Mists inherits most of its organizational structure from The Imperial Legions of Old Isra.
Legionaries are organized into squads of ten, each squad being led by a Decurion. Ten Decurions report then to a Centurion, who reports to Yuzu, their Commander. Commander Yuzu reports only to Lady Naoki herself. Only those close to Honoka or of higher rank may address her by her first name.
All levels of Mist Legion command cooperate with The Inquisition and The Dawn Riders, as appropriate.
