So you wanna hire the Theban Legion, well somtimes we may come to you and we do offer our services to those that can't defend themselfs in dire times for free. However you can hire us for wars againts most nations other than those that have diplomatic ties with Nova England. Prices are discussed based on the amount of men and time you need 'em for however this is the important part THEY DO NOT REPRESENT NOVA ENGLAND IN SOME CASES. So if you need them just post below......
History
The Holy Theban legion is one of Nova Englands oldest Legions still around today. It started around 100 years later after the reign of King John I in what we think to be King Marcus' reign. At that time a large force was needed for the war in the Southern lands and a man named Maurice of Detsab rose to the chalenge and with him several hundred cavalry men rode in to battle. After many victorys the Theban was still strong but tired and the dreadful day came when their camp was ambushed at night. However they fought on till only a few men still lived including Maurice the Surts remarked at their bravery let them live and told them to go home. The cavalry men did this and thanked god for letting them leave but they felt grief for their comrades. But when they returned home they were given a heros welcome and the king urged them to visit West Grinstead and this they did. Upon arriving they were knighted and the king made their Band of brave mercenarys into a official legion of the crown. Which would be sent far and wide to protect those that can't defend themselfs and to honour their country. Meanwhile the Surts were wiped out when a massive army found them and exicuted every man and every beast. So from then on a small section of the legion kept an elite horse mounted core and has fought in many battlefields.
