After Caesar conquered his enemies and took control of Rome, he had called upon one of his officers that was getting a popular following among the Soldiers of Rome, and the Emperor saw the Officer as a threat to his reign, even though Caesar himself was blessed by the gods. So in order to rid himself of this problem, he formed Legio XXI, with the officer. as the Legion's Prefect. The Legion was formed by Veterans of the Tenth and Eight Legions, augmented by other soldiers that where not wanted by their Legates. Quickly, the nickname "Caesar's Black Legion" was tagged to the XXI, and Caesar then offically dubed the XXI, "The Black Legion of Caesar". A massive navel fleet was built by using lumber from newly conquered Gaul, and The Legion was sent on a mission to find out where the Atlantic Ocean ended. After months of sailing, The Legion found itself in the Relem of Amtgard, and started making claims in the name of Caesar.

After Caesar marched on Rome and won the civil war that followed, he was blessed by his divine ancestor Venus with a vision. It foretold of of his over throwing by one who was blessed by Mars. That every same day, the priests announced that the two lovers, Mars and Venus, where once again fighting. Mars decided to bless a popular Officer of the Tenth Legion with improved battle-prowess, and after this discovery by Venus, he was cursed  so that no one could remember his real name, even himself, and that no one could love him. Venus then informed Caesar of this development, and he decided that he must rid himself of any descenders within the Legions. Thus he formed the Legio XXI Bloodmoon, and filled it with his political enemies. He then gave command to this “blessed son of Mars” and ordered him to cross the Atlantic and claim lands in the name of Rome.

Biography

After Caesar marched on Rome and won the civil war that followed, he was blessed by his divine ancestor Venus with a vision. It foretold of of his over throwing by one who was blessed by Mars. That every same day, the priests announced that the two lovers, Mars and Venus, where once again fighting. Mars decided to bless a popular Officer of the Tenth Legion with improved battle-prowess, and after this discovery by Venus, he was cursed so that no one could remember his real name, even himself, and that no one could love him. Venus then informed Caesar of this development, and he decided that he must rid himself of any descenders within the Legions. Thus he formed the Legio XXI Bloodmoon, and filled it with his political enemies. He then gave command to this “blessed son of Mars” and ordered him to cross the Atlantic and claim lands in the name of Rome. They set sail from Gaul on March 14th 709 (44 BC). Months later, they arrive in the realm of Amtgard. After a brutal storm, they land and are attacked by an army lead by rouge wizards. This battle became known as the Battle for Red Sands, and implanted a grave mistrust of magic casters.

Uniforms The Legion has two approved uniforms, a summer and winter version. The Summer Uniform, is a off-white sleevless tunic, with red trim. The Winter is a tunic with sleeves, colored Black with red trim. Both tunics hang past the knee, but when a belt is worn over the tunic, it sits above the knee. With both uniforms, a belt and bracers must be worn. When fighting as a Legion, each Legionary's sheild has a red cover, with the gold eagle and black lighting bolts.
