@Telleroftales been meaning to ask, is it like, super obvious that Solun is ex-legion? Or is it just that Alice knows what to look for.
@Simus I guess the question would apply to you too. I imagine a legion sword is not too hard to get these days.
It's not super obvious, no. A trained soldier, like Alice, Liudolf, and probably Allesan could probably spot it, if they were paying attention. Solun is used to leading men, but what he experienced during the Long Retreat means he's more than a little traumatized. He doesn't want to be in the situation he's in now, and he
definitely doesn't feel he's suited to be leading the group, he just thinks he has to be the one to do so. And don't worry, I have some gnarly situations planned where this will definitely end up biting him in the ass later on.
As for legion gear, you and Simus are absolutely right; old imperial arms and armour aren't hard to come by. Black market dealers, scavengers, and smugglers still deal in imperial weaponry and armour, while the Stormcloaks have cannibilized legion gear in an effort to form a more uniform military. Don't forget, there are legion remnants
everywhere either as desperate bandit groups, or more disciplined forces, located in hidden camps. (Something that will also be making an appearance a little later on.)
