=== Home Legions ===

There are two legions permanently stationed within or near the City. The 1st Home Legion patrols the lands surrounding the city, keeping peace in the countryside and acting as the first line of defense against invasion. The 2nd Home Legion operates within the City itself, enforcing the law and protecting the City (and, ideally, the citizens) from internal threats. Under all but the most extraordinary conditions, this is the only armed force allowed to act within the City proper.

Popular but unsubstantiated rumor insists there is a 3rd Home Legion, a sinister secret police force of spies and assassins. Authorities scoff at the very notion.

Every legion, Home or Foreign, is composed of a number of Companies of varying size, usually 100-300 soldiers, plus support personnel. These are divided into groups of ten soldiers called Arms, and each Arms comprises two Hands of five men.
