I made a faction based on dwarfs fihting orc. I aslo used some of the stuff in the Pathfinder Faction guide by Joshua J. Frost, Jason Nelson, and Sean K Reynoolds.
The lost legion started after the quest for sky. A large legion of dwarfs stayed behind in the quest for sky to fight the orcs. The legion threw them self’s at the orcs staying in the way till only a few escaped. The few who escaped felt terrible at their fear while leaving their comrades behind so they renamed the legion to the lost legion and sated that they would die in battle. The lost legion fights orcs not by stagey but either staying in place or throwing them self’s at the orcs. They know and plan on dyeing in battle so they tend to attract older dwarfs who wish to die in battle. Since Lost legion knows that if they die there is no one left to carry on they leave a post open with a member to recruit new dwarfs and keep track of those who joined the lost legion. There are little healers in the Lost legion as they plain to die, but some do worship the leader of the legion who died fighting the orcs in the quest for sky (Rylan Orangejade) as a god and some believe that he is granting them divine power.
Goal: Die fighting orcs, while trying to destroy all orc kind.
Alignment: N (If you can fight and are willing to die they will take you)
Leader: The current leader is Brac Axe-Alum (Male, Middle age, CN, Dwarf Barbarian 5/ Lost legion solider 5). A dwarf who even though he throws him-self head first into a orc horde he some how comes out alive, again and again.
Good class choices: Fighter, Barbarian, Ranger, Slayer, Brawler
Challenging class choices: Cleric, Oracle, Arcanist, Wizard
Headquarters: They have no permeant headquarters as it tends to move but there is a joining station at High helm.
Joining: You can be brought in by s member of the Lost legion or hit up the join station in High helm. The current Lost legion outpost is held by Doug Track-Marble (Male, Old, N, Dwarf, Fighter 5/ Lost legion solider 1/ Expert 1) in High helm.
Gaining prestige: You can prestige by fighting and killing orcs. Killing a large number of orcs or one who is important to a tribe, such as a shaman or chieftain, or one who is a big shot who give more prestige them normal.
