Legate

The title **Legate**  is a rank of the Imperial Legion. The rank is given to the field officers and the high ranking soldiers. Legates sit one level of command below General. Lower Legates (Commanders) answer to Upper Legates such as Legate Rikke. These Upper Legates are in command of all the Imperial forces in the province and are under the command of higher officers such as General Tullius and Marcella Varian.

## Gaining the rank

Legates are appointed based on experience and proof of prowess. Ranks are given indiscriminate of gender or race.

## Conversations

**How does one join the Imperial Legion?** *"Think you've got the mettle, eh? Honestly, the Legion can use all the able bodies it can muster. We have our hands full. A dead king, a rebellion, and now dragons? Skyrim's a mess. If you're serious, make your way to Solitude. Our headquarters is Castle Dour. You find General Tullius there, commanding our forces in Skyrim. But talk to Legate Rikke. She handles the local recruiting."*

**What's the Imperial Legion doing in Skyrim?** *"Not sure I understand the question. The Legion's always been in Skyrim. We have garrisons throughout all the provinces of the Empire. Our mission is to serve the Emperor, uphold the law, and protect the citizenry. Skyrim's days are darkening, and the Legion will soon be called into service like never before. But we stand ready, as always, to meet that call."*

**How do you feel about this war?** *"You mean Ulfric's so-called "Stormcloak rebellion"? The Nord Kings - oh, excuse me, "Jarls" - they can't seem to control their own people. So the Legion has stepped in to keep order. Sadly, the Empire's stretched a little thin these days, and we've gotten very few reinforcements. So we've been forced to recruit locally. But rest assured, citizen. We'll put an end to this uprising... and things will get back to normal soon enough."*

## Trivia

* "Legate" is also an achievement for reaching a rank of the same name in the Three Banners War during the Second Era in Template:Online.
* Legates are always marked as essential, even after a Stormcloak victory, making it impossible to clear any Imperial camps without the use of console commands. This is also true for Stormcloak Commanders.
