Blocks of infantry are armed with crosbows, accompanied by the distinctive winged shield of the Legion. Whereas the [[Order of Basilean paladins|paladin orders]] are under the control of the Hegemon himself, the democratically elected Basilean Duma exercises executive control over the men-at-arms of the Legion - accepting, of course, that the Hegemon retains the right to overrule the Duma's commands. | Blocks of infantry are armed with crosbows, accompanied by the distinctive winged shield of the Legion.
