A new life, A second chance

This practice became a symbol of both the tyrants and the matriarchs and as such, they were seen as the most honorable of the seven legions. In the later years of the empire, honor was a major factor that played into recruitment. A nameless empress established a law stating that anyone could find a second chance if they joined the ranks of The Tyrants. Criminals were often trained if they desired though certain criminals were barred from entry.



Those barred committed crimes that Ozlith considered particularly dishonorable such as rape, domestic violence, murder within ones family, and theft due to greed. The legion retained its loyalty to their patron god, the tyrant, but the actions of the empress led to a new found loyalty they kept as well.The Tyrant always had a soft spot for the reigning empress of Ozlith. A payment for the second chance they were given.

I have watched them fight on the fields. Sometimes it was from afar but on occasion I moved as close as I dared. I fell in love with them.

I loved how they never charge. They walk to their enemy. They do so casually and with confidence.



I decided that it was time for a new dream to follow. I wouldn't stop until I could fight with them at my side..." — From The Journals of Mhirrah, Chosen of Mhirriah

Structure and Culture





The standard weapon used was the gladius. Shields Spears and daggers were rare as the tyrants were never paid for their service and could rarely afford it. The legion was divided into several smaller divisions and further divided into squads. Each squad had a sergeant and each division had a Primus. At it's highest, the legion consisted of an estimated 7000 active members along with 3000 in reserve. These reserves often stayed within the empire to guard its borders. A Tyrant had little more than the armor they wore in equipment. Some may have had cloaks for colder climates. Their helmets came with a removable metal mask that depicted The Tyrant himself.The standard weapon used was the gladius.
