The Steel Legion is the elite military force of the Varisian Empire, renowned throughout Thesa for their discipline, skill, and unwavering loyalty to Emperor Varist. Comprised of highly trained soldiers and seasoned veterans, the Steel Legion stands as a shining example of the empire's dedication to military prowess and technological innovation.
At the heart of the Steel Legion's strength lies its mastery of mechanical engineering and the artifice of coal and steam. Drawing inspiration from the industrial might of Eisenburg, the Legion incorporates cutting-edge technology into every aspect of its operations, from weaponry and armor to transportation and logistics.
Each soldier of the Steel Legion is equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry and armor forged in the foundries of Eisenburg. Steam-powered rifles, reinforced with Aetherium-infused alloys, provide unmatched firepower on the battlefield, while mechanized suits of steam-powered armor offer unparalleled protection and mobility to their wearers.
In addition to their formidable arsenal, the Steel Legion utilizes a variety of steam-powered vehicles and war machines to project power across the battlefield. Ironclad steam tanks rumble across the terrain, their coal-fired engines belching black smoke as they unleash devastating salvos of cannon fire upon enemy positions. Meanwhile, aerial steamships soar through the skies, raining down destruction from above with their powerful bomb payloads.
But perhaps the greatest strength of the Steel Legion lies not in its technological superiority, but in the unwavering dedication and discipline of its soldiers. Trained from a young age in the art of warfare and instilled with a deep sense of loyalty to the empire, the men and women of the Steel Legion are the epitome of professionalism and courage on the battlefield.
Whether storming enemy fortifications or quelling insurrections within the empire's borders, the Steel Legion stands ready to defend the Varisian Empire and its interests against all threats, foreign and domestic. With their mastery of mechanical engineering and coal and steam artifice, they are a force to be reckoned with – a symbol of the empire's strength and resolve in the face of adversity.
