The Lion's Pride

The Lion's Pride was an irregular military led by Ecthelion III Elorian during the Second Invasion of Orin. Assembled initially from his fellow Moriezen villagers, the ranks of The Lion's Pride swelled as news of Ecthelion's push against the The Hunt invasion spread. It's hallmark is the fact that its enlisted were not regular soldiers; they were average Moriezen deemed previously unfit for military service on one of the lines, who had experienced the horrors of The Hunt.
The Lion's Pride was named for Ecthelion himself, whom had earned the honorific title "The Lion" while serving as a regular soldier on the Western Front. It acted as a fifth colum irredentist force fighting in the interior of Westeria, Orin, allowing the regular army to hold the line.
The Lion's Pride retook the critical Westerian city of Capitolina. After the liberation of Capitolina, Ecthelion's citizen army pushed north and annhiliated The Hunt once and for all. He returned briefly to his home village and helped rebuild and reorganize society after the death of the line of Kings, and refused to be named King of Westeria. Instead, he and The Watcher snapped back off of Orin to their starship that had been in peaceful, silent mothballed orbit for twenty plus standard years.
The core of the Lion's Pride would become Orin's First and Only Free Legion.
