       Legion of Steel

       [center]Legion of Steel[/center]
       [center]Founded in the 5th Age[/center]
       The Legion of Steel is a neutral-aligned force that was founded
       by Sara Dunstan (Steel Brightblade's adoptive mother) four years
       after the Summer of Chaos. It embodies the virtues of courage,
       unity, and honor. The knighthood itself is dedicated to justice,
       based upon selflessness and mutual aid, in honor of the
       sacrifice made by Steel Brightblade in the Chaos War.
       After the Chaos War, Sara learned of the reforming of the
       Knights of Takhisis. She visited them and learned that under the
       leadership of Governor-General Mirielle Abrena, they had lost
       almost all sense of honor and justice, having abandoned the
       teachings of Lord Ariakan. Sara then visited the Tomb of the
       Last Heroes, where Steel was buried. She received a vision from
       Steel about creating a new knighthood, which would serve to
       protect the people of Krynn. Sara then began to recruit warriors
       from both the Knights of Solamnia and Takhisis. These warriors
       had grown tired of the injustices in their knighthoods and
       sought to join an honorable force. In his honor, Sara then named
       the new knighthood, the Legion of Steel.
       Solace was where the Legion of Steel Headquarters would be
       established, near the Tomb of the Last Heroes.
       Its founder, Sara Dunstan, died in 398 AC and was succeeded by
       Silver Claw as the ruling High Elder of the Legion. Silver Claw
       is a powerful barbarian warrior and was one of Sara's first
       pupils.
       Cells and Circles
       The Legion is comprised of covert cells & public circles, spread
       across Ansalon.
       Covert cells have anywhere from 2-24 legionnaires, all operating
       under various guises and led by a senior officer. This cell
       leader will often liaise with the public circle leader to
       further the goals of the Legion.
       Public circles are offices and outposts in an area. These are
       the places where the Legion operates openly. Legion circles can
       contain anywhere from 40 to 80 knights. They are considered the
       safe havens and strong houses of the knighthood.
