The Legion of the Dragon is a large military formation, all infantry, giving allegiance to theDragon Reborn. The Legion is led and trained by Davram Bashere along lines worked out by himself and Mat Cauthon, lines which depart sharply from the usual employment of foot. Troopers in the Legion wear tunics with buttons on the side, so as to show an unbroken dragon embroidered on the chest. The Legion employs crossbows heavily, in contrast to conventional infantry which typically rely on melee combat, with archers serving a supporting role.
