Re: We Need Serpent Cult
What if the Varangian Guard, already mercenaries hired from outside the empire, were Ctisian heavy infantry?
During the late period, the Ctisian capitol has moved entirely back to the desert lands, leaving the Swamp Guard protecting nothing but the imperial fringes. I could easily see them breaking off and hiring out as mercenaries.
Them or Ulmites really.
