Stalwart and stoic
Devotees to Legion of the Galvanic Soul
swear themselves to the defence of Tesra's
most hallowed sites and artifacts.
Chaperones of high ranking clergy and
a vanguard against the unholy hoardes
and horrors.
From humble beginnings as a band
of sellswords to some unremarkable priory,
the Legion found its namesake the night
they fended off a hoard of riders
during a terrible storm.
Blessings garnered by desperate prayers and
bouquets of improvised metal spears
curried them a miracle that could
sunder the sky and fuse flesh to armour.
Within a decade these monk and mercenary
seige breakers were folded into the ranks of
the Soverign Church, founded as the Legion
and established and legitimised as
a miliant holy sect.
