Legionnaire

D&D 3e (3.0/3.5) Rules

by André La Roche

The Legion of Steel is a semi-covert organization on Krynn. Named after Steel Brightblade, a Knight of Takhisis, this order was founded by both by his foster-mother, Sara Dunstan who recruited disenfranchised Knights of Takhisis and Knights of Solomnia, these individuals felt that neither existing order brought justice to the land, and the people needed a new organization to represent them. Legionnaires claim to not be covert, though many of them work from hiding. Led by the Keepers, the Legionnaires are respected throughout Krynn by all but the other orders of knights, even being accepted among minotaurs, although being caught by the Knights of Takhisis is sure death for any Legionnaire.
