Backstory Brain Storming (OoC)
The Great Southern Desert is the testing grounds of Legion, and has deep cultural and ancestral roots for many of its warriors. Consequently the Great Desert is considered sacred Legion, for it is home culturally (and often literally).
Legion is composed of a number of semi-independent warbands. The leaders of each warband are responsible for their own men. The warband leaders also sit on council which runs the city; certain leaders step forward and take up additional logistical duties, acting as first among equals. Warbands may act independently, or warband leaders may raise and lead warhosts, composed of many bands.
The capital of Legion stands at the northernmost point of the great desert, and acts as a central location for the warbands to gather, acting as an oasis where they can rest, trade, and resupply, before they take up a new contract or continue their semi-nomadic wanderings (consequently some districts can be rowdy and lawless, catering to the mercenaries with gold burning in their pockets).

The lands of Legion are somewhat of a mystery. Founded by the nomads of the great desert, their lands long existed east and north of "civilized" lands. Even after the great trade road was built, it did not lead to Legion's capital. The capital is not a port city, standing inland in the northern expanse of the desert. The primary ports of entry to Legion territory are the fortified harbor-town to the northeast, and the western bastion located along the trade road, but there is little to encourage traders to travel beyond these hubs.
