Description
The Alarian Gnomish Legion emerged during the gnomish uprising that overthrew the plutocratic Council of Alaria, whose control over a peaceful yet tense continent had weakened. Long had the gnomes been treated merely as tinkerers, never as equals, and after a few haphazard inventions pushed the gnomes forwards technologically, they saw their moment. Alarian gnomes from far and wide volunteered themselves to the legion, each having their own reason to oppose the big folk, and to bring a new age forward. The Alarian Gnomish Legion smashed the private mercenary armies and ill-prepared standing troops of Alaria's duchies, fiefdoms, and principalities.
Alarian Gnomish Legionaires include numerous classes of soldier. Shock troops dominate their armed forces, marching side by side, and wielding swords and large subtly electrified shields that knock over their foes.
