Imperial Legion

The historic, traditional standing Army of the Empire of Tamriel, the Imperial Legion has been the vanguard of Human civilization and military might throughout all the incarnations of the Empire. At one time holding sway for the Emperor throughout all the lands comprising the Empire, the soldiers of the Imperial Legion are instantly recognizable by their signature armor and helmets. (These are of course modelled after those of real-life historical Roman history, as are the names of Imperials and the essential structure of their society.)
