Pre-story pic, about 30 years prior to the 1st chronicle... about 18 years prior to the incident in which Saal'Ku kills Kathra's parents... Saal'Ku stalking the back alleys of Haea, about to meet Otheis for the first time. The dangerous duo will make quite a name for themselves as some of Haea's best freelance mercenaries, selling their services as bounty hunters, thieves, assassins, guards, and other, more mundane jobs. Left b&w for 2 reasons - style and in tribute of it as a pic from a major character's past.
