The 501st Legion

The 501st Legion is the personal army of Emperor Davor Godkiller, and is the most elite task force in the Second Empire of Anette.

History
The legion was created at the dawn of the Empire, absorbing all those who surrendered at the Battle of Mt. Pariah, regardless of their former allegiances. The fallen paladins of the Order of the Pale Rose were turned to antipaladins, the foot troopers of Cyrene and drow forces became the first soldiers of the legion, and the demons summoned by Kag-Romak joined and lead the destructive path that the legion walked. Although there are demons in the rest of the Empire's military, most are bound by magic, while those of the 501st are almost entirely serving by choice either under the power of the Emperor, or Kag-Romak himself.

The legion is named the 501st as it is considered an extension of the legions of the First Anatetian Empire, which themselves was considered an extension of the legions of the Cyrecian empire, and those of of many unnamed empires before them.

Present Day
The 501st is still feared throughout the empire having been responsible for much of its spread. Although it has accepted new recruits since it's founding, many of the veterans from the legion's creation remain.
