Arathorian Legion

(need to rewrite intro)
==Modern Day==
Though the Empire crumbled, the standing army of Stromgarde retained the formal title of the Legion. Though much diminished in number and equipment - rarely reaching over ten thousand men in any given century since the Dissolution Period - this force remained a significant part of Arathi culture, together with the Fyrd.
Today, only five Legions remain in service:
===The First Legion===
Engaged in combat against the Orcs of Hammerfall and the Witherbark Trolls. Status is unknown.
===The Third Legion===
Garrisoned along the Southern Coast, but now engaged in heavy fighting instead with Forsaken on the Western Front.
===The Fourth Legion===
Former garrison of Stromgarde, now engaged in attempts to reclaim the city and to drive out the Ogres infesting the Thandol.
===The Fifth Legion===
Garrisoning the all-important redoubt of the Refuge Basin, and engaged in combat endeavours in the valleys. Linked with, but not synonymous with, the all-volunteer League of Arathor.
===The Ninth Legion===
A blasted and devastated remnant of what once was one of the strongest Legions, assigned to hold Thoradin's Wall in the Third War. They were dealt a crippling blow in the Great Cataclysm of 623, having been pushed off the wall and slaughtered wholesale.
==Legion Forts, Past and Present==
The Arathorian Legion is one of the most prolific building forces in human history. The jewel of their crown as architects is often seen to be the ancient and often still dominating fortresses built during the Imperial Age and the Dissolution Period. Nearly all Legion forts still stand in one form or another - either as crumbling ruins, intact but abandoned sites, or the origins of provincial and even national capital cities. Their durability is a tribute to the long experience gained in construction by the once premier military force of the Kingdoms and the thorough preparations of each site to weather the sieges not only of the enemy, but of time itself.*Caer Occidentalis - Still in use*Caer Suthreyvatr - Still in use*Caer Borea - Destroyed in the Thane Uprising.*Caer Ostgaeta - Now the centrepoint of the city of Gudbayn.*Caer Darrow - Taken over by the Scourge and Cult of the Damned
