In response to the reports of a strong barbarian presence on the Ganthian frontier, Thomas Sormania decided that he needed to rally as many Ganthian soldiers as possible to begin combating the barbarians. Hearing reports of the barbarians’ deadly attacking methods, Thomas opted to play it safe for the first exploration bout of the Ganthian army. After recruiting an additional 1,800 men from the Ganthian populace, Thomas summoned all 4,050 Ganthian soldiers to his palace. There, in the palace grounds of Harvis, Thomas rallied the Ganthian army for the coming expedition. “Report back to me in three months, my men. These barbarians are a dangerous threat, so I do not want you to push it too far and wind up being wiped out.” – said Thomas as part of his speech to his troops. The Ganthian leader did not have his father’s silver-tongued gift, but he nonetheless inspired his soldiers.
