Legion Hervör

From Assault Lily Wiki


Legion Hervör (LGヘルヴォル) is the top legion of Herensuge Girls' Academy. They are also known as the Shieldmaidens.

In Herensuge, captains of the seven legions are appointed by the Garden from the top 7 lilies. Hervör is led by the 1st rank.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Hervör is the name of two mythical shieldmaidens described in the Hervarar saga; there is also a valkyrie by the same name. The name means "army-guardian."
    • Herverar is the same word in genitive case (equivalent to the English "of Hervor".)
  • While Herensuge and its legions are generally themed after Basque myth, Hervör name is based on Nordic myth. This goes back to the era before Auñamendi System came into the Garden's management. Before that, Herensuge is Nordic themed, and this is also reflected in the Shieldmaiden tradition that still persist there[2].
