The vast, fertile plains surrounding Larisa and Trikala offer a unique geographical advantage in a region dominated by mountains: the capacity for large-scale horse-rearing. Drawing upon the ancient legacy of the Thessalian cavalry, the Despots have established state-run stud farms to produce hardy, swift mounts capable of carrying armored riders across diverse terrains. This investment will transform the Despotate's military, allowing it to field a professional cavalry corps that could compete with enemy knights, providing the state with a decisive offensive tool on the open field.
