Red Legion

The Red Legion (also known as the Bloody Legion) are the best soldiers, the elite of the whole army of the king Tibianus III.

In the early days the King Tibianus III sent to Carlin, a new city that was still under construction in those times, this Red Legion to protect the workers from the orcs and to make them work harder by cruel ways, treating the workers like slaves. Soon the workers started to rebel due to the bad conditions. The rebels were brought to a giant castle they had built guarded by the Red Legion, where they had to live and work in even worse conditions.

Between the rebels of the castle were also some friends of the king's sister. She was upset with the situation but her brother didn't want to do anything about this matter, so she made a plan to destroy the Red Legion for their cruelty. She ordered her druids and hunters to disguise as orcs from a nearby island and attack the Red Legion by night. The General of the Red Legion became very angry and after some months of attacks he stroke back heading to the island by night. The orcs were not ready and the Red Legion killed hundreds of them with nearly no loss.

It is said that the orcish shaman cursed the Red Legion. Nobody really knows, but one third of the soldiers died by a disease on the way back. Some of their graves can be seen at Northport's Graveyard (here).

The orcs wanted to take revenge, and after some days they stroke back with many allied cyclopses and minotaurs, killing nearly all workers and soldiers in the castle. The help of the king's sister came too late.
