Imperial Legion (Skyrim)

The Imperial Legion used to be the strongest fighting force in Tamriel. However, by the time that Skyrim takes place, the Imperial Legion has been reduced to a mere shadow of its former self. With the disappearance of the Blades and the emergence of the Thalmor as a military presence, many view the Legion as corrupt and decaying, much like the condition of the Empire.

The Imperial Legion is a joinable faction in which the player will fight for Skyrim to remain part of the Empire.

The Stormcloaks are at odds with the Imperial Legion, as proclaimed liberators of the Nordic people. Because of this, the Legion is also at odds with the Grey-Manes, separatists of the Empire of Tamriel.

Oath

 * "Upon my honor I do swear undying loyalty to the Emperor, Titus Mede II, a nd unwavering obedience to the officers of his great Empire. May those above judge me, and those below take me, if I fail in my duty. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire!"

Gear
The Imperial Legion mostly uses full sets of Imperial (Medium) Armor. These are pretty good compared against the Stormcloaks ordinary armors. Sergeants and Legates generally use Imperial (Heavy) Armor and are hard to take on. By default joining the faction, you must choose from three types (Light, Medium, Heavy,). The Legion has a great defense power but bad weapons compared to the Stormcloaks.
