IV Legion of Sevicia

The IV Legion of Sevicia, known more commonly by the moniker The Wayfarers, is a legion in the Imperial Sevician Army. Established in the third century by Ascillion the Great, the IV Legion has had a storied history as both a combat unit and in a support role, including a number of naval-related activities and roles, which is where they originally earned their famous moniker. Its official motto is "Our emperor sea" and its sigil is a golden boat on the red field of Sevicia.
== History ==
The IV Legion has a long and interesting past. It was formed by Ascillion the Great during the army reforms of the third century as a combat unit during the Conquest of the Shimmering Isles and remained in that role for a number of years. Sometime during the fourth century it was relocated to the Marshlands region of Sevicia to serve as a support and construction unit as well as overseeing policing and civilian activities, primarily in and around the city of Otesia. It was later moved out to the island kingdom of Esta, and then Maerowyn, where it had served intermittently for hundreds of years.
The Wayfarers' role as a naval company earned them their official moniker, and they have participated in a number of wars since. During the second war against Duscador from 691 to 697, the Wayfarers played a key role; during the decisive naval battle at Cartesium, members of the IV Legion were among the ships' crews, chosen for their history of sea travel and their background.
As of the year 713, the Wayfarers are based in the Easterlands region of Sevicia, just north of the capital of Morosea. They are commanded by general and senator Isabel Felia, who took over command of the unit in 711 A.S.
