Cut to Ulysses as he tears down a Starwolf banner in a holdfast hall. Banner in one armored fist, he toasts toasting a mixed group of Blood Eagle knights with a goblet of wine. Two was a garden planet in 3925. The tragedy of ecocide still seven years in the future. Pan across a lushly forested valley of silver mists.
Flocks of birds rise from the treetops.
In places, the mist parts to reveal a river winding between verdant hills. The Hepta Ourubis Pack was formidable, led by the Warlord Nevor M'Klannin, an experienced campaigner not given to rash judgments. Despite his flair for tactics and leadership, Ulysses lacked any real combat experience and was completely outmatched. He did not take advice well. He is bearded and scarred, and he surveys the land around a Starwolf base thoughtfully.
