## General Overview (EchoShade's PoV)

On 6/19/2023, I officially joined the Roman Legions. I remember this because I joined the clan discord on the same day I joined the clan. At first, I was very awkward and didn't talk much; and saw that MushroomKing (generally referred to as "mush") was helping out a member in headless, so I went over to them and greeted them. MushroomKing asked if I joined the clan discord, and I said yes, he seemed quite polite so I tried to be the same way. This was during the phase at which Coldlamb was a tribunus, who really didn't like me (later claimed to leave the clan just because of me in fact). It was also around this time where MushroomKing introduced the centuria system, which was a system at which an officer would have control of a certain group of people. At first, it was randomly divided, but soon became based on activity (I led the 1st centuria, which was for active people, and before it became based on activity I led the 3rd). Around this time Coldlamb left the clan. Through the centuria system, I managed to befriend two people named Shemed and Dinero (mage and warrior respectively), both of which went inactive and we miss them greatly. Also, it is worth mentioning that sometime all of our alliances (BUSH, Fall, and Wyrm) ended, but I don't remember when those happened. The next few months were relatively uneventful, as we made steady progress and increased in our power, eventually adding the alt clan 2ND, and later the feeder clan 3rd. I remember when MushroomKing took a break for four weeks, and led the clan in my hands; and well, it was proven that I'm not exactly the best clan leader (the clan died, rip). However, MushroomKing managed to pull the clan out of the dirt and continue making progress relatively unscathed, when he went on his break that was when I first became Tribunus. Later than that, nothing really eventful happened; just ordinary clan stuff, you know, becoming relevant, getting top 3 (and even 2nd place once I believe), usual clan stuff. Recently, as of the beginning of January 2024, 3rd has made it into the top 10 prestige of clans. Well, that's all I got for clan history, and I hope to continue seeing the clan grow and strengthen with time.
