There are currently 50 active Imperial Army legions in operation in the Empire, numbered from 4 to 72. Some are on "floating" duty, being assigned to various nations as necessary but others are permanently stationed in some kingdoms. These assignments are as follows:


Kingdom Legions assigned
Dominus 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th, 11th, 12th, 15th, 16th, 17th
Academia 20th, 29th, 38th, 71st
Chundria 25th, 28th, 46th, 50th, 51st, 53rd
Erganth 32nd, 40th, 41st, 45th, 55th, 63rd
Karameizanté 22nd, 23rd, 34th, 48th, 64th, 67th, 72nd
Lichenburg 27th, 39th, 47th, 52nd, 54th, 66th, 70th
Thorast 14th, 31st, 33rd, 42nd, 56th, 62nd, 66th
"Floating" 57th, 60th, 61st, 65th


A "legion" of men consists of 10 "cohorts". Each cohort consists of 5 or 6 "centuries". The exact number of men in a "century" varies - it is never more than 100 and commonly not less than 80. Hence each leagion has, on average, 5000 men. Not all these of these will be active soldiers though. A small percentage will be support staff (smiths, farriers, cooks, engineers) that will likely never see combat.
