It was only fitting to reward its denizens in the currency they understood best.
Besides, it wasn't complicated. All Bidalun had to do was copy the system his father used in his own territory. Orion could then tweak it to fit his specific needs, and a provisional rewards structure would be up and running in no time. The finer details could be ironed out and revised after each battle.
"As you command, my lord. I will see it done," Bidalun affirmed. He understood the task was basically asking him to copy his father's homework. The immediate goal was to stabilize the morale of his followers, to show them that effort would be tangibly rewarded with spoils.
That was how you cultivated motivation and loyalty. More than that, a well-defined system would be a beacon for talented and discerning recruits—individuals like Bidalun's own father, who had sent his son to serve Orion only after recognizing the true nature of the Scourge Wardens. Different followers valued different things.
