As he continued to march, Morkus heard someone call out to him. "Join my warband" the voice commanded. Morkus turned towards the voice to see an Gorman as the source. "This way" he said as he continued on with a few other following him.

Morkus could have easily ignored Gorman. He could have simply just not followed the captain. Morkus was easily strong enough to thwart coercion attempts Gorman could have made to get him in line. Morkus might have even been able to wrest Gorman's captaincy away from him and claim it for his own. But if Morkus were capable of such ambitious thoughts, he would have been much higher up the ladder by now. "...Ok" Morkus said simply after a moment and began following Gorman, ignoring the sound in his head that had started up again.
