[QUOTE="RealAlHazred, post: 6748837, member: 25818"] [b]Originally posted by Hellcow:[/b] Looking again to strengths of Thrane: Karrnath is the seat of Rekkenmark, and this is where the officers of Galifar learned their trade. It's a culture that has always celebrated martial discipline and strength. By contrast, Thrane's military tradition isn't concerned with conquering nations or fighting other humans. Nonetheless, the fundamental principle of the church is to defend the innocent against the very real, often physical threat of supernatural evil. When the war began, the templars of the church likely had the most hands-on recent experience with combat, because they'd been fighting undead, outbreaks from Khyber, raids from the Demon Wastes, and what have you. Meanwhile, you have peasant militias trained to defend the helpless when the darkness rises, and in Eberron that could happen any day. This is why I give Thrane the edge in morale. Karrnath has the edge in discipline and mass tactics. Breland the edge in industry. But the people of Thrane have had drilled into them that terrible things could happen any day and that they need to be ready to stand together and defend the weak from harm. They didn't expect that threat to be other humans, and that's a tragic waste - but they still knew that you had to be ready to string your bow and fight on a moment's notice. Essentially, think of the way some people have a Zombie Apocalypse Survival Plan. That everyone in Thrane - they just had to convert their tactics to dealing with humans. So Thrane began with a small standing army in the templars... but a force with considerable experience ("Hey, Brelish! What have you been doing for training? Me, I've been hunting ghouls."). This was then supplemented by Minuteman-style peasant militias. HAVING SAID ALL OF THAT... The Flame is spread across Khorvaire. You'd have Flame militias in Cyre, too. The issue is simply than in Thrane you're more likely to have an entire village who shares the faith, dedicates space to an archery range, and trains together... while in Breland, you might have two families in a village who follow the faith.
