I Legion of Sevicia

The I Legion of Sevicia, known commonly by their monikey Of the Senate, is a legion in the Imperial Sevician Army. Established by Ascillion the Great alongside thirteen other legions in the third century, the I Legion has been one of Sevicia's more important military units for almost 500 years. As befitting its moniker, the primary role of the I Legion is in service of the Senate of Sevicia, who govern from its capital city, Morosea. Its official motto is "For Sevicia" and its sigil is a golden council house on a purple field.
== History ==
The I Legion was first created by Ascillion the Great in the year 219, alongside the thirteen other "founder legions" in the modern Sevician army (numbered one through fifteen, excluding eleven). Originally a primarily combat-focused force, it led the vanguard during the Conquest of the Shimmering Isles under Ascillion's rule. For the next 200 years it saw action intermittently in wars and suppressing civil revolts, before it was almost entirely wiped out during the costly Middlelands War of the fifth century.
After rebuilding post-war the legion was repurposed as a service unit for the Sevician Senate, tasked primarily with assisting with menial matters and as a construction force in and around the capital of Morosea. It saw minor action as a reserve unit during the wars against Duscador and as the primary line of defence for the capital during the civil rebellion of the seventh century known as the Anaean Wars. Its official banner remains the only one in the Sevician army to display a purple field instead of the traditional red.
As of the year 713, the legion is stationed just north of Morosea, in the Easterlands, under the command of general and senator Isabel Felia.
