Auxiliary Forces

The only true regular Auxiliary forces the Empire maintains are the forces of Tor'Jadin. Most notable among those are the Tor'Jadin Lions, an Elven regiment of great renown. The Lions are believed (in Tor'Jadin) to be the greatest fighting force in the world, and few seek to question that opinion. Rarely called upon by the Empire, other than to deal with "Fey issues", the Lions serve the governor of Tor'Jadin as the elite force of the province.

Other regiments include the Bloodmoon Orcs of the Rocklands and a small band of Imaskeri in Secaucus, in the Great Wastes. This forces are used more for information and advance scouts on the frontiers of the Empire than for actual battle troops, but at times Legionnaires may be sent to assist them and gather reports.

In addition to the Tor'Jadin troops, in times of great need the Empire will also employ mercenaries on a case by case basis. Most often this is for a specific task, such as when the sailors of the Crescent Islands were hired to transport troops across the treacherous waters of the narrow channel separating the Northern Sea from the Great Ocean, or when the Steelpick Clan of Dwarves were brought in to attempt an expedition into the Thunder Mountains. Most often, these Auxiliaries are not even Imperial citizens, and are attached to Imperial troops as support.
