The main Hadrian presence at a Reckoning event is centered around a single military unit: Legio V Victrix, or the Fifth Victorious Legion. Not all players at the game are military personnel or members of the legion proper, however, as civilians and other people of note are attached to the legion or operate in its orbit.
For further reading on legions not represented at game, check out the Legions page.
DISCLAIMER: All directions issued by a NON-STAFF member are not binding and do not need to be followed. All players are treated equally regardless of title. An individual cannot compel someone to act with the threat of punishment and cannot force a player to fight on the battlefield or follow a specific course of action. As a result, titled and rank bearing individuals provide instruction and direction, not orders.

Architecti are engineers in the Hadrian legions. They are responsible for establishing fortifications and constructing infrastructure wherever a legion may find itself.
Armicustodes are the armorers and quartermasters in the legions. They are responsible for overseeing the maintenance, requisition, and distribution of equipment and supplies.
Capellani, or Chaplains in common parlance, are the all-gods religious, morale, and propaganda officers of the Hadrian legions. They are responsible for maintaining unit camaraderie, mental and emotional health, and assist in maintaining the physical health of the legionaries in their charge. They often take on other responsibilities as need dictates.
A Chaplain’s badge of office is their swagger stick, each one being a unique piece created by their mentor.
Evocati are retired legionaries that continue to serve the Empire in another capacity while standing in reserve to be called back to the Legions if needed. Often times they serve as respected judicial figures in Imperial villages where state officials are not present.
Exploratores are the scouts in the Hadrian legions. They conduct reconnaissance and scouting missions to pinpoint enemies and map territory for future troop movements.
While not officially part of the Legion structure, Imperial Palatini (or Paladins in common parlance) are divinely inspired warriors originating from within the Hadrian Empire akin to the knights-errant of the Rivlan Earldoms. Whereas many traditional warriors dedicate themselves to coin or country, Paladins dedicate themselves solely to the gods. They travel the known world seeking great deeds and mighty enemies against which to test their devotion and martial skill.
Saggitarium are legionaries that specialize in ranged combat utilizing bows and crossbows. They are distinct from Exploratores as they do not conduct reconnaissance or scouting, but instead serve as heavily armed and armored skirmishers able to double as regular infantry.
An individual responsible for bearing a legion's banner. This is a position of great honor as the banner of a legion and the headpiece of its staff show the strength and longevity of a Legion. If lost it is the Legions responsibility to retrieve it, by any means necessary.
