#lore24 Echos of the Past #Creature24 The Lost Legion

 When UslaCairne was young the Cleansing Flame burned, roiled and charred the landscape. Those that bore witness to the power of its fire bowed and payed homage to its beauty and terror.  The Apostles of the Flame learned from it the promise of the black sands and began sending forth the message of fire and drawing new land and converts to be cleansed by its searing light.  The Apostles sought to reclaim what was stolen from the Flame and reached beyond the realm steeling back tower and field, castle and hill.  Powers from beyond UslaCairne discovered these terrible, heretical acts and set a legion of men upon a battle field they knew the Flame sought.

The legion vanished with every structure, tree, shrub or blade of grass  within three square miles.  The only thing left was six inches of ash.  But in UslaCairne a great army emerged on the edge of the realm.  The Acolytes of the Cleansing Flame encircling the field offered peace through the Legion's submission to the flame.  The legion refused and a great battle ensued costing many lives on both sides.  

Now there are but a few descendants of the Legion hiding amongst the fringes of UslaCairne.  They are fierce warriors and partisans ever chipping away at the foundation of the Church of the Cleansing Flame.
