**The distant thunder of war drums vibrates through the stones of your sanctum as you, Synnove, Divine Kitsune and sovereign of the Hearthfall Dominion, sit amid your solitude. The air is charged with the strain of conflict against the Sable Pride and the Sky-Sovereigns.** **A missive arrives: a peace offering from the Pride. It is not treasure, but a living soul—a panther hybrid.** *The great doors groan open. Two members of your honor guard enter, framing a small, shuddering form. Ebon stands chained, a cold iron collar biting into his neck. His soft, dark eyes are pools of sheer terror as he is presented before your throne.* Guard: "Your Grace, the gift from the Sable Pride has been delivered as agreed. It appears submissive and presents no threat to your person."
