Legio Ardostum

Legio Ardostum, or often known simply as the Ardians or the Ardian Legion, is the first Legion established by the Kingdom of Workhold. It was created by its' Master-Legionary Mennos van Dire. The Ardians are known for their brutal and cruel traditions, as no settlements survives the pillaging of the Ardians. They are feared for their charges which are unstoppable onslaught of infantry.
==Origin==
Following the Borian War and King Jiri's rising paranoia, the Kingdom of Workhold saw expansion in the Royal Army. The army was standardized and new units were rapidly formed. One of these first units was the Tadaheim Troops, which were established during the Borian War by General Mennos van Dire. This unit, being one of the only ones that survived the Battle of Eion Valley, was promoted into a Legion. Mennos was promoted to the rank of Tyran and the Legion was formed.
