Fifth Legion

A former Rosan Legion, led by General Rictor Solden, that has branched off in its own attempt for the throne. Solden has a minor relationship to the Rosa family (a distant cousin to Calvin II) which he figures makes him as worthy for the spot as any. Though fewer in number than some of their competitors, Solden's leadership has earned several hard-fought victories in the northern Empire, and his scorched-earth tactics make it difficult for his enemies to reciprocate.
