LEGIO XIII Gemina: a Mount and Gladius Clan [Inactive]

I, one of the developers of the Mount and Gladius mod for Mount and Blade Warband, have created this clan in order to provide a fun, historical multiplayer experience. We will hopefully begin to actively participate in events shortly. If you are interested in joining please visit http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?topic=202603.0 and PM Stevon.

Some historical info:
Legio tertia decima Gemina (Thirteenth Twin Legion) was one of the most prominent Roman legions. It was one of Julius Caesar's key units in Gaul and in the civil war, and was the legion with which he famously crossed the Rubicon on January 10, 49 BC. The legion was levied by Caesar in 57 BC, before he marched against the Belgae. During the Gallic Wars it fought at the battle of the Sabis against the Nervii, at the siege of Gergovia, and was also present at the seige of Alesia where Vercingetorix's rebellion was crushed. Crossing the Rubicon to Caesar's famous words "Alea iacta est" ("The die has been cast"), Legio XIII fought for Caesar in the civil war between the former and Pompey and was present at the battles of Dyrrhachium, Pharsalus, Thapsis, and Munda. Afterwards, the legion was disbanded, and Caesar granted his veterans farmland in Italy as a reward for their loyal service. The legion was later reformed (in 41 BC) under Augustus to deal with a rebellion led by Pompey's son. Legio XIII aquired the cognomen Gemina (twin) when its ranks were swollen by an influx of veterans from other legions following Augustus' victory at Actium. The legion was then stationed in Illyria, and later transferred (in 16 BC) to Pannonia in order to quash rebellion in that province. After the disaster of the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD, the legion was sent to reinforce the German frontier. Under Claudius, Legio XIII Gemina was sent back to the province of Pannonia. During the year of the four emperors (69 AD), the Legion supported first Otho, and then the eventual victor Vespasian. During the reign of Trajan the Legion took part in both Dacian wars (101-102, 105-106), and was transferred by Trajan in 106 AD to the newly conquered province of Dacia to serve as the provincial garrison. The legion remained in Dacia for centuries, until it was restationed with the evacuation of the province in 271 AD. The legion's symbol (well obviously) was the lion.

Sorry everyone, but this group is very, very dead. There is the slight posibility it might be revived in the far future, but I would recommend looking for another clan if you're interested in playing the mod any time soon.
