Mansthein Legions in the Maenhu

(This information was largely collected by Arsim612.)

The mansthein forces in the Maenhu consist of a number of different legions, and the differences between these legions become important as the region goes to war. This page differentiates them but also includes some spoilers for the events of the second and third books.

The First Northern Legion: Fiercely loyal to Zeitai Kreue and one of his primary tools.

The Second Northern Legion: The most entrenched mansthein forces in the area, more loyal to Wahleen than the Zeitai. Includes many masters such as Kietro.

The Third Northern Legion: A legion deployed in the mountains to deal with raider clans and cross-Sotunn trade. Celivia was a part of this legion up to becoming an Archlieutenant. Took heavy losses during the growing violence leading up to the Maenhu war.

The Fourth Northern Legion: An additional legion in the north that was sent into the Sotunn Mountains during the Raider Avalanche. Devastated by the battles there as well as the rough conditions of the campaign.

The Fifth Northern Legion: The oldest mansthein legion in the area, with an unusual quantity of Steeljudges and other experts, including two masters. It was stationed in the east until it was sent to invade Espal.

The Fifth Spathan Legion: Not to be confused with the above, this is a legion native to Orphos. It was granted to Kreue in order to facilitate his more aggressive invasion plans. Devastated in the war between the Hero and Zeitai.
