The Nomen Tribe was a small tribe with barely three hundred Trolls, and its total number of usable warriors did not exceed one hundred and fifty.
When Blade Tusk arrived in formation with 325 Trolls, he merely flexed his muscles a little, and the tribe submitted without surprise.
Afterward, he split off some hunters to follow the local Trolls on hunts, gathering the needed food as quickly as possible.

Blade Tusk himself, rubbing his somewhat sore waist, led the warriors off to fell trees.
At first, Blade Tusk had wanted to try making a dugout canoe, which seemed easier.
But after experimenting, he discovered it was only easier "in theory."
First, Trolls were simply too large, and finding suitable timber alone was no easy task;
Second, hollowing out the center of a log to create enough room for a Troll was also a massive undertaking.
After several attempts, he decisively abandoned that impractical idea and turned his efforts toward rafts.
He first had the hunters cut down the trunks of many different kinds of trees and place them in the water one by one, comparing the densities of the various materials against the water;
