Organisation
Imperial School of War
The Imperial School of War trains the officers of The Legion. A legionary can rise through the ranks to centurion on merit, and in rare cases outstanding achievements have carried someone as far as praefectus; but to reach any rank above that, graduation from the Imperial School of War is required.1
Above the praefectus stand the tribunes, who command units numbering in the thousands, and at the head of each legion the legatus, its senior general and highest authority.2
