## Legion History

### The Toxitaes

Christened the Toxitaes Incarnum during the great crusade these warriors were drawn from all over terra. The discovery of their potent acidic spit is what eventually gave way to their name and their eventual love of toxins and poisons. As the Toxitaes slogged through the great crusade they developed their own unique style of war, pounding the enemy position with artillery as they marched forward under the rain of munitions, though this was not what made them unique, many of the Toxitaes marines simply chose not to wear helmets instead opting to allow themselves to utilize their potent acidic spit in ways originally not intended. This unique aspect of their warfare gradually ingrained itself into their already strange and cobbled together culture, many soldiers taking part in spitting contests to see who could spit the furthest or whose spit could melt the most.

### Molding the VIII

With the discovery of Karden the Toxitaes were reordered and restructured into their primarchs desires. Karden with the restructuring Karden implemented many unique aspects to the new legion; a librarium called the “kolidoskirii”, a new order of the apothecarium called the “Posinarica'' for researching unique poisons and toxins and ways to implement them into weapons, and a unique chaplaincy called the “Chrysilian Commissars'' who acted as both a mental health service for the marines and the philosophical leaders of the legion basing their philosophy off of the book their primarch had written. He implemented a unique Regiment to the first chapter of pre-primarch legionnaire veterans called the Toxitae Auxilium, the Toxitae Auxillium still employed the old methods of war first used by the Toxitae. Not only did the structure and doctrine change but the culture as well, a strange mix of traditional Denaian culture and the Unique Chrysillian guerilla culture.

## Legion Beliefs

### Chrysalism

Chrysalism is a revolutionary ideology developed by Karden during his time on Denaus after watching the oppression of the workers by Karden's native country of the Zalinan Empire. Chrysalism states that the workers should band together and form revolutionary communities and attempt to implement a better society usually through the overthrow the ruling class to implement a better society. Karden would introduce this ideology to his legion upon being introduced to his sons. Karden wishing to see his children grow and flourish he encouraged his children to take chrysalism and adapt it into new and unique off shoots of the chrysalist ideology.

## Legion Combat Doctrine

### Offensive Doctrine

The VIIIth Legion have a preference for fast attack, utilizing everything from jump packs to aerial fighters, to swiftly eliminate any high value target and keep going. They also utilize chemical/toxic weapons.

### Defensive Doctrine

The Monarchs make heavy use of guerrilla-style tactics, utilizing traps and controlled destruction to create killing fields. Approaching a city defended by the Monarchs will not only be a dangerous proposition but one filled with stress and fear - every hallway could have a gun nest hidden in a room, every grand hall could have mines and punji traps, and while the enemy trod their way through these defenses, the Monarchs deploy hit-and-run tactics against the enemy's rear guard.

## Legion Appearance
