Ionioi Hetairoi

Ionioi Hetairoi: Army of the King (王の軍勢(アイオニオン・ヘタイロイ)) is a Reality Marble that embodies Iskander's dreams and philosophies as a king and his bond with his subjects. Though he isn't a magus, through the combined efforts of his personal guard, who vowed allegiance to him after many victories and defeats, even after death and becoming Heroic Spirits as well, they can recreate the land in which they once marched and shared many joys and sorrows. Imprinted upon their hearts, they bring about a sand-filled expanse roaring with hot and dry desert winds under the scorching sun and cloudless, clear skies without anything to obscure the everlasting horizon. Once fully materialized, the soldiers slowly appear as mirage-like images and completely manifest as a diverse fighting force with the fierceness of a true army. As a leader who only desired to become stronger and more magnificent, live more fully, and become a man more real than any other, he left upon them an impression of never-ending loyalty that not even death can conquer. They consider their king's dream to be their own, and he considers them to be his greatest treasure and true friends.

The entire fighting force is fully composed of famed and legendary warriors, who personally fought with Iskander on the battlefield. They include the Lord of War, the Maharaorajah, the founders of many dynasties, and even his horse, Bucephalus. She is a sleek and powerful steed just as impressive as any of the other warriors. They are all Master-less Servants, but they each have the rank E- equivalent of the "Independent Action" skill, meaning that they cannot leave the Reality Marble and can only remain materialized for "thirty turns." It is within the boundaries of ordinary space to summon a single soldier into the normal world without them being crushed by its corrective impulses. This allows Rider to summon Bucephalus without needing to deploy the Reality Marble, and if he needs to communicate with the outside after it has been deployed, he can send a single soldier, Mithrenes, outside of it briefly to receive and relay messages. The Reality Marble is maintained by the collective prana of the entire army, which means that it will not remain stable if a large portion of the army is destroyed in a single attack. Rider can freely organize the positions of those that enter Ionioi Hetairoi, grouping them to keep allies safe and align enemies directly before his army. He can also choose where to deposit them after releasing it, though only within one hundred meters. Iskander can also freely use Via Expugnatio within the confines of the Reality Marble.
