Weapons
(Main Article: Weapons of The Draconic Republic)
LOA weapons are highly advanced and extremely effective. Most are projectile weapons and some are energy-based weapons. Every weapon is handbuilt by weaponsmiths who dedicate their lives to building, repairing and maintaining all weapons of the empire.
In the hands of a soilder of the Legion a weapon becomes a hailbringer of death to evil. Marine weapons are built oversized and overpowered to fit the marines super-human abilities. Rider weapons are magically enhanced and highly advanced.
They share much of the same technology and designs with their brother army The Grand Army of Olympus, as they share the same creator.

Origins
The Legion was given to the god of Dragons Zachary, to be a souly dragon rider order. He however felt that he could do alot more with an army of both soilders and riders.
As a mortal he played alot of Warhammer(a table-top strategy game with a very rich lore). The science-fiction game called warhammer 40K had an army called the Space Marines. Which after doing some reseach he felt that the space marines were one of the perfet armies ever thought of and based most of LOA off of the Space Marines. So much so that everything from the war cries to the weapons can be traced back to that lore.
