Moonlight silverly washes the graveyard as Dyanara arrives among open tombs. At the center, a cloaked elderly man stands within a ring of weathered grave markers, lifting a relic of pale fire.
The relic burns without smoke, its cold radiance spilling across cracked stones. Beyond the graves, unseen presences shift in the darkness, patient and watchful.

The witness has spoken. Let the heavens record her voice, and let no tongue call this claim unmade.
The unfinished crown above the cemetery closes around the falcon sigil. Branching lines of light descend, touching the relic, the stones, and the earth between them.
