![]() Even the Anglo Isles' empire, spanning multiple islands and colonies, was destroyed piece by piece until their territory was reduced down to their homeland and surrounding islands, unseating them as a world power which was not to recover until 200 years latter. The Iron Legion managed to overrun most of the world as they destroyed entire cities and nations. They have green (and later, blue) skin, red eyes, and pointed ears. This is likely due to the fact that they live in a polluted, poisoned country, and they mine deadly Nerocite all the time (See unit dossier). Much like its successor Xylvania, the people of the Iron Legion do not appear fully Human, in fact, to a much greater extent than the Xylvanians. ![]() Old Xylvania is based on European fables of demons and vampires. ![]() ![]() This land was ruled by a megalomaniac Emperor, Lord Ferrok, ancestor of Kaiser Vlad. Old Xylvania was a horrible desert of dust, ashes and lava. This was unlike Ferrok's original reign, in which he only wanted to rule the world, not destroy it like Ingrid intended, However, a Western Frontier battalion, alongside Solar Empire air support managed to destroy the Cenotaph, bringing an end to the Legion, and saving Xylvania (and the world) from complete destruction. The Legion seeks to enslave all living things, including their descendants in new Xylvania. Ingrid eventually loses her mind and is controlled (or at least thinks to be controlled) by the "hive mind" of the Iron Legion. In order to use the Iron Legion against the Alliance, Countess Ingrid stole the Sword of Lord Ferrok from Kaiser Vlad, who was against using the Legion since he knew that unlike his ancestor, he would be unable to control them. For this, a special key is needed, disguised as a sword, the sword of which each Kaiser receives when the power is passed down to him. It is later revealed that this Cenotaph was really some unknown Xylvanian machine, which is able to bring the Legion back to life. The modern Xylvanians built a great monument in the center of the destroyed land (which was named the Crater of the Sun by the Solar Empire), called the Cenotaph, a monstrous stone slab that marked the burial spot. The rest of the nations were left heavily damaged, including the Solar Empire and Anglo Isles.ĭespite the Solar Empire's victory over the Iron Legion, the surviving Xylvanians managed to gather the remains of the Legion and bury them. This also marked the eventual rise of the Western Frontier and Tundran Territories, as they were the only two nations with an powerful enough military left in the world. Without a leader nor an army, Old Xylvania's empire crumbled. Deploying the Staff, they destroyed the Iron Tower, the forces gathered there and the area surrounding it. When Lord Ferrok held a speech to what remained of his army on his great Iron Tower, a small group of Solar Empire soldiers infiltrated the area and the Tower itself. In order to save the world, the Solar Empire invented a Staff, which connected to a satellite weapon that would use the energy of the sun to destroy the Legion. They seem to live like slaves, doing nothing during their entire life but fighting for Lord Ferrok or gathering resources for their massive army. However, the Legionnaires appear to be all mutants "infected" with Ghosgene gas (the exact same substance that Xylvania supplies their Acid-Gas Troopers). The bat-design of the Legion Fighter (and possibly the Legion Bomber) is said to have been created by a Violet Baron, who was an ace in dogfighting. The Iron Legion has a huge arsenal of nerocite-powered weaponry at its disposal (Nerocite is a substance extracted from rocks and similar to petroleum of the real world) and many weapons of the BW universe are inspired by the powerful prototypes invented in Old Xylvania by the Legion blacksmiths. However the Battlestation "Project", as said in the Unit Dossier, was not completed until the near-end of the conflict, around the same time the Solar Empire launched their assault on Old Xylvania. The Legion was the first to invent the all-conquering Battlestation, which gave them a huge advantage in the Lightning Wars due to its incredible power and deadly force. This land was ruled by a megalomaniac Emperor, Lord Ferrok, ancestor of Kaiser Vlad. This is the very first Battlestation ever, invented by the Iron Legion during the Lightning Wars
