===The Legion of Dusk===
A theocratic monarchy of humans ruled by vampire priest-nobles, the Legion of Dusk originated in a mountainous province called Torrezon, before they forcibly renamed their entire continent after that original territory. Torrezon had been charged with guarding a powerful magical artifact, called the Immortal Sun, a charge they ultimately failed when a jealous neighboring king attempted to steal the artifact from it. This led to one of its guardian warrior-nuns, Saint Elenda, the Dusk Rose of Garrano, to develop a magical rite that transformed her into the first vampire. She went on a crusade to retrieve the Immortal Sun, but never returned, but the Rite of Redemption she created was used to create a ruling caste of vampire-saints, who went on to conquer their continent, in no small part to ensure a steady supply of "guilty" victims to feed their hunger for blood. This ultimate leads to their seeking out the Immortal Sun, which they believe can be used to create a new version of the Rite of Redemption that will grant them true immortality without the need for blood.

Except... it turns out that the history books had gotten a little creative over the centuries. It turns out that the Rite of Redemption was never intended to be a path to power and immortality, but a heroic sacrifice, a means to pursue greater humility and to enable an adherent to better serve humanity. Needless to say, when Saint Elenda finds out - because it turns out that she found Orazca, couldn't get past the traps, and so decided to set herself up as an eternal guardian for the city - she is ''pissed'' at what the vampires have turned into.

The Legion is the Conquistador faction, being the arrogant, ruthless, self-righteous band of conquerors who want to exploit the denizens of the New World (in this case to use them as livestock).

They're still the most popular faction on /tg/ at the moment, though, because, hey, they're still vampires in gilded armor who at least claim to live up to a noble religion based on self-sacrifice through damnation. They might literally be [[Lawful Evil]] by the D&D writeup of Ixalan in [[Plane Shift]], but, as [[TVTropes]] says, "Evil Is Cool". You can run a mixed black/white card set or a majority white/majority black set. In lore the narrative representative of white is [[Lawful Good|Saint Elenda]] & the narrative representative of black is [[Lawful Evil|Vito]].
