III Legion

The III Legion was one of several Imperial Legions created in Solstice shortly before the Osean Continental War. The legion was under the command of Nero Kannan and was Directus ' primary invasion force in Aurelia during the Osean Continental War. The Legion single handedly defeated the forces of Aurelia and conquered the nation. After the death of Nero Kannan at the Battle of Gilded Blood, Rizzardo Kannan assumed command of the Legion. The Legion spent a large portion of the war overseeing the occupation of Aurelia before leading a brief invasion of southern Erusia shortly before the end of the war.

The Legion was not disbanded after the end of the war but rather was stationed in Solstice for a time before returning to Aurelia with Rizzardo Kannnan to oversee its liberation from rebel forces. Unlike the XV Legion, most of the III Legion remained in the service of Rizzardo Kannan after he began to wage a war for the throne of Aurelia. Today the Legion continues to serve Rizzardo, though it has since been dispersed throughout his armies.
