Gold Legion

The Gold Legion is a private military company based in the Barony of Nubardum, in southern Blackwall Hold.

The founders and leaders of The Gold Legion are Baryck & Gerith Alexius, members of House Alexius, who founded the rapidly-growing company in 538. The company was named by Gerith and flies a golden griffin to represent diligence and freedom. The unit is entirely comprised of volunteer soldiers which the legion prides itself on as one of its core tenets: "freedom to choose and carve one's own destiny".

The Legion acts as a traveling free company, led by a main band under Baryck Alexius. Beyond Baryck are multiple bands led by sub-commanders the legion calls centurions. These centurions are independent contractors in their own right but also take orders from command on prominent jobs.

Recent Activities (546 ACR)
The Gold Legion is known to have a prominent contract from Baron Ferris Alexius to police the border between Nubardum hold and Bruxia, where they guard the border and manage refugees, while attempting to stop smugglers and criminal organizations like the Vassili Cartel and the Birchmen. The Centurion who leads the border patrol is Ser Manly Kobar.

The Legion lobbied with Kain Kallistratos to earn the contract which was awarded to the Sons of Aquinas to battle mountain barbarians in the region, so Baryck sent one of his centurions, Tolmend Oklend, with his band to the city of Stoneshade in order to provide business competition for the large SOA force. They are currently seeking any contract available to them to keep it out of the SOA's hands.

The Legion continues making significant money from contracts battling the Birchmen in Nubardum hold, as they are hired by Baron Alexius and other minor nobles. This has made them a sworn enemy of the Birchmen, who have staged barbaric attacks such as beheadings and flaying of Legion personnel to intimidate the company into refusing contracts on them.
