Led by Legatus Regula van Hydrus, the VIth Imperial Legion was formed during the middle of Garlemald's campaigns to unify Ilsabard. Though it was initially charged with occupying the southern coasts of the continent, the legion saw little dissent amidst the natives, and its leaders grew corrupt. Indeed, so accustomed did they become to taking bribes that the force essentially became a private army for the local leaders. This raised the ire of Varis yae Galvus, who sent his trusted friend Regula to see to the situation. The upper ranks were purged, and the previous Legatus was executed. Effectively, a new legion was created.

In the war of succession, the VIth Legion performed honorably, and so redeemed its tainted name. At present, it has unified under its new leadership, and the morale of its men is high.
