XV Legion of Sevicia

The XV Legion of Sevicia, known commonly by the moniker Sons of Orus, is a legion in the Imperial Sevician army. The XV Legion was the last legion to be formed by Sevician Imperator Ascillion the Great during the military reforms of the third century, during which time it served as a reserve company and occasionally on the frontline for combat. Its official motto is "Out of darkness" and its sigil is a golden sickle on the traditional red field of Sevicia.
== History ==
The XV was the last legion to be established in the early third century by Ascillion the Great, during his reforms of Sevicia's standing army. During the wars against the Shimmering Isles and the Kingdom of Cyon it served as a reserve force for other legions, with soldiers being drafted in and out whenever it was necessary. Over the next two centuries it continued to fill a role of reserve and resupply, often throughout the Lowlands region of Sevicia.
It first saw proper combat during the bloody Middlelands War against the Kingdom of Erenna in the fifth century. Tasked with capturing the Erenneese city of Neverun, the XV Legion engaged in a brutal, unprovoked massacre of the city's population that left more than 50,000 dead. For their butchery they earned the moniker "Sons of Orus" after Orus, the god of death and life beyond death. The legion was briefly disbanded due to public pressure, but was reinstated a decade later with the same moniker.
Since then it has served intermittently as both a combat and a reserve unit, during the wars against Duscador, the Roni, and again in the civil war known in Sevicia as the Anaean Wars. As of the year 713 it is stationed in the Southlands region of Sevicia, near the city of Vinarrin, under the command of Yoric Clay.
