The crowd watches as the sharp-sailed boat drifts past. Its figurehead is almost birdlike, but is faceless.

The candles of the onlookers flicker as the small ship sails through the large gate. Several figures watch it enter a central dock area in front of the palace.

The black boat approaches the dock, where a small welcoming party stands out front. A crowd has gathered behind them, bathed in the golden light of the lamps in the arched entryway. A balcony looks down from above, emblazoned with the manta of the Saberfort.
