V Legion of Sevicia

The V Legion of Sevicia, known commonly by the moniker Of Ascillion or occasionally as The Fifth, is a legion in the Imperial Sevician Army. It was founded during Ascillion the Great's military reforms in the third century as Ascillion's personal company, which he himself led into battle during the Conquest of the Shimmering Isles. Ascillion had a personal connection with the men of his legion, who revered him like a saint. Its official motto is "Lest we forget" and its sigil is the mythical golden helmet of Ascillion with golden plume on the traditional red field of Sevicia.
== History ==
Founded in the third century, the V Legion was chosen by Ascillion himself as his personal unit. He led them from the front during the Conquest of the Shimmering Isles and later during the Sevician-Cyonian War, where they served in part as a vanguard for the rest of the Sevician army. After Ascillion's death, the unit remained in its role as a combat force, and took the moniker "Of Ascillion" in honour of their founder and commander.
They saw battle again on the frontlines during the Middlelands War against the Kingdom of Erenna, during which they were one of the only fighting legions to not to be almost destroyed by the costly conflict. The Fifth participated in further conflicts during South Sea War, the wars against Duscador, and more prominently during the Anaean Wars, during which time they were personally led by Supreme Commander Petr Engarden. The Fifth are widely regarded among the elite units in the Sevician army.
As of the year 713, they are stationed in the Northlands region of Sevicia, not far from Emerald Bay. Their commander is general Thorin Audell.
