In this era, nobles rarely discuss matters of war with anyone other than other nobles because war is a noble's game, a chessboard for kings and leaders, a tool and stage for distributing interests. Therefore, they don't, nor do they need to, explain to the common people why their land must be engulfed in the flames of war—but Gawain thinks differently.
He must let the people under his command know why the war must break out and what the war means for the territory. Only in this way can he bind the interests of everyone in the Cecil territory together.
