Legion of the Dead
Legion of the Dead
Overview
The Legion of the Dead is a military organization primarily composed of Dwarves, founded to combat the Illithid threat. Led by the Buried King of Valeska, members of the Legion swear an oath to release their claim on all earthly possessions and accept that they are already dead. The Legion operates with the sole purpose of opposing the Illithid, and its members are known for their steadfast courage and unflinching commitment to their cause. Despite its origins among the dwarves, the Legion welcomes members of all races who share their commitment to fighting the Illithid.
# Legion's Creed
I am dead.
I fear nothing.
I claim nothing.
I serve the Buried King.
I strike the Mindless,
I endure the Desolations.
Where they rise, I rise.
Where they fall, I remain.

- The party were then accompanied by the bodyguards Bhaldir, Branmund, Galnir, Tharmond, and Thargran. The dwarven bodyguards all swore the creed of the Legion of the Dead before doing so, making a lifelong oath to confront the Illithid. Upon entering the mountain tunnels they encountered Mind Flayers who dominated some of their minds. The bodyguards didn’t hesitate and slew some of their own subjugated fellows. Eventually only Galnir and Thargran left those tunnels alive with the party.
