Yet at the same time, they found themselves in between the Guardian's personal war with the Scorn, losing causalities to both groups during the conflict. | ||
In addition to their disheveled state, the Red Legion began suffering from multiple desertions such as those following [[Garut Gra'am]] who rooted themselves in [[Trappers Cave]]. The most prominent of these groups, the [[Unbowed Legion]], made their debut in the EAZ during the Solstice of Heroes event in an attempt to take over the EAZ as a base of operations. Despite the group being led by [[Mouvurg, Unbowed Legion|three]] [[Daazaz Dar, Unbowed Legion|large]] [[Shogmar, Unbowed Legion|Cabal]] commanders similar to [[Ghalak the Colossus, Forge Warden]], they were quickly put to an end by the Guardians partaking in the event. | In addition to their disheveled state, the Red Legion began suffering from multiple desertions such as those following [[Garut Gra'am]] who rooted themselves in [[Trappers Cave]].

Like humans, Cabal make use of the decimal or base-ten numeral system. A system similar to Roman numerals also appears to be in use, primarily seen in the naming of heavy vehicles such as the [[Cerberus Vae III]] or the [[Dantalion Exodus VI]]. | Like humans, Cabal make use of the decimal or base-ten numeral system. A system similar to Roman numerals also appears to be in use, primarily seen in the naming of heavy vehicles such as the [[Cerberus Vae III]] or the [[Dantalion Exodus VI]].
