As a member of the Underdark Legion, your life is devoted to the service of the dwarf kingdom and consecrated to the work of establishing justice and peace in the underdark. You might be a true believer, inspired by the example of the legionnaires who proceeded you, moved by the plight of the downtrodden, and devoted to the cause of justice. Or you could be a cynic in the ranks, perhaps because you reluctantly followed in the footsteps of a Legionnaire parent, succumbed to the persuasion of a charismatic recruiter's lofty promises, or were drawn in by the prospect of a life of action.
