Eater of the Dead?

[PvK]

Just curious...

Do reasoning Eaters have leadership? If so, when they unfetter, do they take their own troops with them, or do they attack their own troops?

Do unfettered independent Eaters ever roam out of their own province on their own initiative?

I vaguely recall that a Gift of Reasoned Eater had some leadership - but this wasn't something I actually paid much attention to.

Presumably it would attack its erstwhile troops when it unfettered, the same as when any other commander changes sides or when a non-GoR'ed Eater unfetters, but unless there was another commander in the province they would rout at the start of the battle, so there wouldn't be much in the way of a fight. Unless the Eater had an item that allowed him to fly, such as the Gift of Kurgi, and his ex-troops couldn't fly.

And in my test the Unfettered Eater never wandered out of his province, although that would be kind of cool. He was besieging a castle all that time, mind you, but in general I don't see why an independent Eater would be different from any other independent force, and they never wander.
