Euraxian Legion

"Euraxia had King Hemakar and the rest of the Royal Family executed and declared herself Queen of Rimmen. Her mercenaries, now wearing the livery of Euraxians, spread out and quickly conquered all of Northern Elsweyr, claiming the territory from Riverhold to Rimmen."

- Tandemen

The Euraxian Legion, also known as the Euraxians, are the armed forces of Euraxia Tharn who have occupied part of Elsweyr during the Alliance War.

History
In 2E 576, Emperor Leovic of the Empire of Cyrodiil legalized the worship of Daedra. This resulted in the rise of Varen Aquilarios and his Colovian supporters. Euraxia was sent to northern Elsweyr for diplomatic purposes.

During the ongoing chaos in Cyrodiil, Euraxia created a large Nibenese army, which marched into Elsweyr, proclaiming itself an envoy of the Empire. The King of Rimmen, King Hemakar, gladly accepted their entry into his city. Shortly afterwards, Euraxia demanded the execution of the King and his royal family, after which she took over the city and declared herself Queen of Rimmen. Her armed forces, which were previously known as just mercenaries, now took the title of Euraxians on themselves. This event would be known as the Frostfall Coup.

Queen Euraxia quickly worked to consolidate her power, taking over the entirety of Anequina, hiring additional mercenaries for her armed forces, and taking up necromancers. She also created a defensive perimeter of siege equipment to keep her land secure from would-be liberators. A number of Khajiit formed a militia known as the Khajiiti Defense Force and started a rebellion against the Queen.

Four years later, the First Aldmeri Dominion was founded. Queen Ayrenn promised she would come to the aid of the Khajiit after she established an alliance with them, but before this could be turned into a reality, the Three Banners War broke out. As such, Dominion support became limited to military advisors and shipments of gold. While the Dominion could not offer military aid in fighting the Euraxians, the Speaker of the Mane, known as Lord Gharesh-ri, came to Anequina and took command over the militia. Not long after, the rebels were making headway to liberating the town of Riverhold and pushing the Euraxians back from the territory beyond the walls of Rimmen. The city itself was a bastion for the Queen, however, as Euraxia threatened to use her siege equipment on the the city itself if her rule was challenged.
