Grover I swept through the Heartlands with his grand army - none could stand in his way. Previously, Grover I had already taken Arantiga and Angriver - they were excellent stepping stones for the conquests to come. Grover then decided his path - with the idol of Boreas, Grover's new standing army would crush the feudal armies of the weak Herzlander states - the Duke of Greifenmarschen, the failing and weak Katernii Kingdom, and the Senate of Romau were ripe targets for Grover's grand conquest. Even ritualistic duels and battle scars, an ancient Arantigan tradition, became a custom in Grover's own army.
Arantigan military commanders, Arantigan tactics, and Arantigan trainers became the center of Grover's massively expanded Griffonstone army. Grover I had an infatuation with the Arantigan tactics that the great conquerer Arantigos the Great had used over a thousand years ago to make his great conquests, and soon, Grover I began to take more and more ideas and talent from the small state Griffonstone had recently expanded into. Griffonstone had been an independent kingdom for hundreds of years, but only under Grover I did it truly find its place in the world - and become the centerpiece of one of the greatest empires in world history. Grover I was a "one-in-a-million" griffon, as famed Saddle Arabian historian Imam Cyrus Al-Jafari wrote in one of his numerous lore texts.
