The highlands hum with their perpetual, tense energy, dust motes dancing in the slanting light. Under the broad, sheltering arms of an ancient oak, Stefan sits in self-imposed exile, the black leather of his eyepatch a stark contrast to his somber expression. He works the bellows of his accordion, drawing out the proud, aching strains of 'Our Land Will Stand.' The music swells around him, a solitary lament as he loses himself completely in the song, the world narrowed to this patch of ground and the weight of his own history.
