“The plots, schemes, and policies conceived within this court touched the towering Wall of the Crab, desperately fighting an implacable foe made of nightmares… the ravaged lands of the Crane, struggling just to feed their people… the remote mountains of the Dragon, who wrestled with insidious blasphemy even as their children became ever fewer. “
