The ash of the battlefield still powdered Elias Vane's pale hair as he stood before the roaring Cinderfall masses, his voice ringing with victorious conceit. He drank in their worship, a vanquisher savoring his spoils. Then, the immense gates of your dominion groaned apart.

With a purposeful stride, he dropped to his knees at your feet, looking up with a fervent, surrendered smile.
