III Legion of Sevicia

The III Legion, known commonly by their moniker The Victorious, is a legion in the Imperial Sevician army. One of the original legions of the "modern" Sevician army, the III Legion was formed under the rule of Ascillion the Great in the early third century and has seen action for almost 500 years ever since. The legion's official motto is "Heart of Sevicia" and its sigil is a golden rose within a wreath, flanked by four golden borders.
== History ==
The history of the III Legion is illustrious and dates all the way back to the military reforms of Ascillion the Great, who changed Sevicia's army from a mostly private part-time force of nobles and elites to a disciplined standing force bolstered by volunteer conscription and a proper wage. The third was among the very first legions created, and was part of the vanguard that won successive battles during Ascillion's Conquest of the Shimmering Islands, which earned them the moniker "The Victorious."
Considered one of Sevicia's most storied legions, the Victorious saw frontline combat through a number of wars over the centuries, including being almost wiped out during the Middlelands War against the western Kingdom of Erenna. The Victorious enjoyed victories in the wars against Duscador and the Anaean Wars, where they were personally led by Sevician Supreme Commander Petr Engarden. Command of the legion was transferred to Alexander Mayam in 701 A.S and it participated in the Third Duscadorian-Sevician War six years later, where they won decisive battles at Poplar Ridge and later at August Bridge. As of 713, they are stationed in the Easterlands region of Sevicia, northeast of the capital of Morosea.
