==Overview==
The Amarian Legions are a highly trained and well disciplined fighting force that have garrison located all over [[Amaria]]. Their central hub of command is located in [[Loc Amar]], and also in [[Maldor]] in the northwest of the kingdom, and also near the [[Cradle of Fire]] in the south west of the kingdom. What makes the legions so attractive is that they are handsomely rewarded for service. The standard pay for a legionnaire is around fifteen silvers a month, officers make up to five gold pieces a month. Upon serving the legion for twenty years a legionnaire gains a pension of ten gold pieces per year, and is also granted a one acre plot of land to use and farm.

=Structure=
The Amarian Legions are made up of approximately fifty thousand personnel, and with another twenty thousand in support duties. They have a reserve force of almost the same number, that can be called up quickly. The legions are they are called, are made up the following mix of troops.

* 25,000 ground shock troops
* 10,000 ground archers using heavy long bows
* 10,000 mounted cavalry
* 5,000 siege troops operating latest technology in siege engines

* 20,000 support troops made up of medical, logistics, wagoners, food, etc.

=Discipline=
The legions are famous for extreme loyalty, and also tenacity. Many kingdoms, and also uprising have occurred over [[Amaria]]s nine hundred year history, however each one has been easily repelled and or squashed by the legions. Discipline is at once light, but also extreme. There is a strict structure that all troops follow, physical punishment is common. The death penalty is used. However only in cases where a soldier commits an atrocity against non enemies, or is disloyal or shows cowardice on the battle field.

=Legion Use By The King=
The Amarian Legions report to and are guided by the [[High Priestess]] of [[Amaria]] and also the [[Religious Council]]. They will respond to problems in the kings seat of power, or to threats in the area of [[Dark Home]], however the king has no real ability to order them to do anything.
