The Legion of the West is a Viridian legion that primarily operates in the Hellean nation of Magnia. As part of the centuries-old negotiations and diplomatic agreements that gave Magnia its independence, the Legion of the West remains stationed in cities throughout the nation. While most remain nearby to the forts close to the Viridian border, primarily around Histria, legionary barracks can be found as far west as the city of Kardia.
In general, the rulers of Magnia have tolerated the presence of the Legion as a bulwark against stronger Hellean nations and leagues, but there have been various attempts throughout the kingdom's history to limit the presence of the Viridian military in their lands.
Discontent towards the legion has been rising since Y9955* after the northern city of Nysa was destroyed in an attack by a pack of white dragons. Many Magnians blame the legion for failing to protect the city.
