<color=Red>(PRESTIGE CLASS: This class is not available at character creation and must be unlocked by meeting special requirements, listed below.)</color>
For over two thousand years, the Imperial Legion of Markenia has dominated the continent with their strength, organization and battle strategy. Conquest after conquest has been won by the hand of the legion, and even today the men and women of the Empire's fighting foreces fight to keep their world safe from all manner of danger. Chief among them are the Centurions: glorious and stalwart warriors who stand at the front of the battle and lead their troops to victory. Clad head to toe in the sturdiest of armors, the Centurions stride ever forward, holding aloft the banner of the Empire in one hand as they defend their allies and bring down Markenia's enemies.
