    Given the tensions between the val’Virdan and val’Emman would it make more sense to have a val’Emman in a Nierite legion or in a different legion?

    As a related question, are there any val’Emman controlled Nierite legions?

    With a sweep of his hat,

    Hello Paul,

    Given the tensions between the val’Virdan and val’Emman would it make more sense to have a val’Emman in a Nierite legion or in a different legion?

    A different legion or he/she might find themselves a casualty of friendly fire.

    As a related question, are there any val’Emman controlled Nierite legions?

    There are none.

    The val’Emman only emerged as a unique family about 50 years ago. Not enough time to get the influence, money and prestige necessary to found a legion.

    I may be remembering this wrong, but I thought that a Coryani legion standard was recovered for an old val’Emman legion in the last campaign…the Legion of the Black Sun perhaps?

    Thanks Henry. It’s what I expected and nice to have the confirmation.

    I swear there was at least one val’Emman Legion that took part in the Battle of Grand Coryan, but now I cannot find the document which lists who was on what side. . .

    According to the adventure LA-SP4-07 there is the Legion of Searing Revenge (Nier-Emman).

    Looking back on my notes the following Legions were listed at one time as val’Emman:

    The Legion of Searing Revenge
    The Legion of the Pride of Chendo
    (Reference: LA_Talk list post #: 43560)

    Given the general bad blood between the val’Virdans and the val’Emman it sounds like the val’Virdans have reclaimed these two legions or they were effectively destroyed in the Battle of Grand Coryan.

    The two Beltinian legions I have notes for are the Legion of the Sacred Trust and the Legion of the Blessed Spirit. Neither sound very val’Emman-like. I have the following legions without notes on a patron deity, one of which may work:

    Legio Anguis Reptatus – may be Cadic given the Occisor base class in the 3.5 Psionics Unbound book
    Legio Comae Triumphus ab Sol Invictus
    Legion of Broken Shadows
    Legion of Burnished Steel
    Legion of Dark Majesty
    Legion of Deliverance
    Legion of Honorable Accord
    Legion of Indomitable Truth
    Legion of Iron Shadow
    Legion of Mighty Toneth
    Legion of Radiant Glory – probably Illirite
    Legion of the Crusading Light
    Legion of the Stalking Shadow

    Happy to get notes on any of the legions mentioned above.

    Those are val’Emman legions, but both were destroyed in the final days of the First Imperium.

    If they were listed at the Battle of Grand Coryan, then that was an error.

    Legio Anguis Reptatus – Cadician in flavour, if not actual religion
    Legio Comae Triumphus ab Sol Invictus – Illiirite
    Legion of Broken Shadows – Cadic?
    Legion of Burnished Steel
    Legion of Dark Majesty – IIRC the ‘ownership’ of this legion has been fought between the Borda, Mehan, and Mordane
    Legion of Deliverance – Has fought Voei
    Legion of Honorable Accord – First City Legion
    Legion of Indomitable Truth – Illirite I believe
    Legion of Iron Shadow – Sounds cadician
    Legion of Mighty Toneth – Sounds Cadician
    Legion of Radiant Glory – probably Illirite
    Legion of the Crusading Light – Light usually = Illiir
    Legion of the Stalking Shadow – Pretty darn Cadician to me

    Wow, there are a lot of Cadic and Illiir legions \":P\"

    Just a thought, but would this also mean that Nova Cormata is more of a val’Virdan homeland rather than a Nierite one? Would there be continued friction between the two families there, or are they mixed at all?

    I did start a backstory for the Legion if Radiant Glory last campaign.

    Then Henry screwed me by banishing Calmemnon out of the Empire with them. Mother is still pissed at that (but Larisaa really is a bitch about decisions affecting fate.)
