In 996, We see Caius Brutus, supported by an embryonic legion, take control of the Uskuada army in battle against a human Lord. Battle which ended in a stalemate...

1014 - A Garganesh Waste surrounds the Tolternoth Chasm. A horde of Tenamuahc cultists led by High Priest Sicarius gather at the great monoliths of Tolternoth's Deep, summoning the power of time immemorial and the Blood Demon. Using a Veldryn Crystal as a catalyst, Sicarius opens a breach between worlds to teleport the armies of the Infernal Legion and the Tenamuahc Horde to the Argan domains of Riosis and Gravenport! Once the armies are sent to do the dark work of Tenamuahc, hundreds of slaves are brought to the edge of the monoliths, and brutally sacrificed by the cultists. Nesh's words are spoken, and the earth trembles as rivers of magma rise from the depths to cover the region. A Garganesh Desolation is created. As the cultists rejoice at the destruction thus caused, the runes of the Monoliths glow once again, fueled by this bloody primordial magic. A door opens to another world... Who knows what nameless horror will emerge? The army of the 1st Khan defeats the Dark Guard of Akilam and takes possession of the chasm.

The beginning of the second millennium saw the rebirth of the city of Garganesh, an infamous military and occult power. Located on the estuary of Fleuve Noir, the Black River, it grew in stature through the conquests of its ruthless Legions and the grace of Tenamuahc, patron entity of the civic cult of Auquesse. Then, five years ago, Terres d’Auquesse became a true nation through the union of the metropolis Garganesh and the provincia Bryas and Tolimarth. According to some archivists, Terres d’Auquesse is the cradle of humanity and the mortal races. A wild, untamed moor covered with forests of Dantoës, conifers riddled with poisonous needles, teeming with tribes of nomads, lycanthropes, Hundars, goblinoids, ice elves, and ogres, most of which worship primal and bloodthirsty entities.

History of the Infernal Legion and Caius Brutus Bubonius
Caius was born in the Predator domain in Harganeth, province of Nasgaroth. The year of his birth is unknown, but he was young when the Iron Fist invaded Nasgaroth under the command of Leonidas, an Imperial general...

During this disastrous campaign for the kingdom of Tolimarth, the Iron Fist decimated the Lycan tribe and the brutii gens. Caius's father is killed and he and his mother have no choice but to go beg for help from the local lord. He, like a drow, puts her at his service but this service is in reality more slavery than anything else... The drow torment the mother and her young son who finds employment as a hunting assistant to the lord dark elf. The years pass and Caius grows in strength and ferocity, nourished by the sadness of seeing his clan and his people swept from his lands and also seeing his mother being tormented by the female entourage of the drow lordship.

The years then the decades pass... Caius Brutus is a young adult and he fights in the personal arena of the Lord of Harganeth. His martial abilities earned him preferential treatment from his “master” but he accumulated boundless rage when he saw his mother wasting away in the lord’s entourage.

One day, while fighting several opponents in the arena, he caught a glimpse of his mother in the stands. She cries and is collapsed on the ground, chained. Furious, he knocks down his opponents then throws himself on the wall which separates him from the stands to climb it and jump close to his mother. Under the amused eye of the lord and his entourage... Just as he approaches his mother, the lord makes a gesture and the guards pierce her with their spears. Under the laughter of the drow surrounding him, Caius of the Brutii gens, mad with rage, transforms for the first time into the “Crinos” form of his clan. A sort of feline-humanoid with increased strength, Caius Brutus began to cut and thrust and killed the guards and the Lord's entourage but stopped short before striking him. The drow's unhealthy grin quickly turned and realizing what he had done, Caius fled equipped with his weapons, a gambeson and a light cape...

The Lord of Harganeth set his best trackers after Caius...in vain. The young bastet returned to the lands of his clan and looked for traces of it, thwarting several ambushes set by his former master...

Many years passed and we do not really know what happened to Caius during this time... What we do know is that Caius Brutus traveled the central lands in search of his people without success... All that is certain it is that these years were spent in death, blood, flight and terror. So much so that a rumor arose of a bloodthirsty creature that killed everything it encountered in the forests of the kingdom of Nasgaroth...

This first battle, an ambush which saw the opposing army annihilated, was due to the foresight of the young centurion who succeeded in convincing the officers present to follow his instructions.

The second battle, the siege of Pamoisard, goes badly... The chain of command and the organization of the troops suffer from enormous gaps which see assault after assault shattered on the Argan fortifications. During the years that followed Caius led campaign after campaign against the Redemption, Brabancourt, Le Fhain, Les Lambertrands, Montfort, Irendille, Andore, Ar
from the first days of the summer solstice of the year of grace 1010, the oldest imperial province will burst into flames and once again become the scene of bloody battles. The feared Legion guild, in its ever-constant thirst for blood and expansion, was recently given land in the province of Kintzheim in exchange for which it must eradicate the last tremors of rebellion which are shaking it. Indeed, many citizens refuse to submit to the imperial council for different reasons. Some refute the legitimacy of the Council and demand that an Emperor be crowned, while others still remember the tragedy of Bridier freshly.

However, many people still believe in the One and have taken refuge in the stronghold of Vandabren, the last territory in the Empire still under the authority of Ecclesia. Its inhabitants desperately send missives requesting the intervention of the Holy See. Their appeal was not in vain, during the Purple Ball and in the presence of the Grand Theocrat, the members of the clergy of the True Faith voted in favor of a crusade to avenge the martyrs of Bridier, liberate the province of Kintzheim and face the servants of Chaos.

Some now march to conquer new lands, others are led by their Faith, but all converge in Kintzheim and prepare to turn the earth red once more.
