At first, not many imperial soldiers thought much of Vaan's power when he summoned the small white sun above their heads. Some even scoffed at him for trying to mimic the sun god they worshipped; they also looked down on those that got easily fooled by it.

Even if Vaan wasn't their sun god, he was at least a god among men. And attracting the wrath of such a divine being was the same as bringing ruination to their great empire.
If Vaan wanted to, he could erase their great empire from the face of the earth – that was what many imperial soldiers started to believe as they sensed the enormity of the ever-growing white sun in the sky.
