Iderum

The Iderum (meaning Exile Knights in Ucorian), also dubbed the Griffin Legions, were the followers of the deposed King of Iadria Geoff Arvait in the aftermath of the Navinian Rebellion. Initially composed of loyalist lords and soldiers who fled east from Ihenium with the defeated King, the Griffin Legions rapidly grew in strength as Arvait travelled across Iadria and passed into Leogoth. In the years leading up to the Great Crusade, the Iderum consolidated their forces, leading a nomadic existence in the deserts of the newly-formed Grand Epherian Western Emirates. With the launch of King Richard's ambitious war, Arvait mobilized his forces, waging a brutally effective guerilla war against the Emirate of Eaddovar. With every battle won, the Iderum gradually transformed into a powerful traditional military, and with the reformed Griffin Legions, Geoff succeeded in reclaiming the region from the Epherians and installing himself as King of Eaddovar.
