In the later part of King Solar’s reign, skirmishes with the Empire and the forces of chaos became more and more frequent. Drawn by the strong telluric energy, hordes of dark creatures and demon worshipers from the province of Garganesh in the Terres d’Auquesse began to venture into the lands of Andore. Most notably, the swamp orc invasion of 997 CE and the campaigns of the brutal and merciless mercenary, Caïus Brutus Bubonius, under command of the necromancer Uskuada (La Bataille des Deux Ponts, La Légion Infernale.)

The violence was focused in the province of Loren, once a peaceful province on the border of the kingdom of Irendille. The troops of Garganesh took several domains and were able to harness the telluric energy to build a cursed monolith. Brutus Bubonius used this monolith to sacrifice the entire population of two domaines to feed the pact he made with the demon Le Tenamuahc (Campagne de Somière, La Légion Infernale.)

In the year 1004, Andorian troops were able to retake their lands and destroy Brutus’ monoliths. Driven mad with revenge at the defeat of his mercenaries, the Great Khan of Garganesh swore revenge. In the hidden city of Syn, he met with the necromancer Uskuada of Nasgaroth, representatives of the Terres de Brumes (Mistlands) and the Forgotten Territories. Together they planned an invasion of the central lands with the Great Khan focusing his force on Andore.

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...

In 997, Caius Brutus helps Zardok's orc clan defend a fort against a human coalition. The battle is lost but Henryk de Brabancourt makes the mistake of not burning the corpse of the bastet, who regenerates from his wounds. But the young centurion loses most of his troops.

In 998, back in Nasgaroth, Caius Brutus managed to gain the trust of the Drow Lord who fought a coalition of humans and elves from Irendille in order to find the moonstone, an artifact of unimaginable importance for the common people. mortals. Supervising the disparate troops of Prince Morath, Caius Brutus helps the troops recover the artifact which is placed in its magical base. In recognition of his efforts and through shameless manipulation of his allies, Caius Brutus wins the Icelands as a reward, which becomes the first stronghold of the Bastet.

In 999, Caius Brutus sided with Viakta who revolted against the tyranny of Lord Makiavel. Viakta's troops are crushed. Caius Brutus escapes.

1002-1008 Great Khan Caius Brutus

In 1000, Caius Brutus sides with Gorghor Baey and obtains a position of command following the gift of a very special gift. Indeed, Caius introduces courtesans into Gorghor's entourage, a gift which earns him the favor of the great mercenary leader.

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
