Before Gawa had set foot within the boundaries of the Silvermane Tribe, the name Covenas had been just that, a name, shrouded in the mystery of distant tales. It was only upon his induction into the tribe's army that the veil was lifted, revealing Covenas not just as a figure of legend, but as the chieftain of the Silvermane Tribe. His introduction to this truth came from none other than Commander Kro, his grizzled superior whose respect for the chieftain was palpable.
Gawa owed everything to Covenas. The chief had extended a hand when Gawa and his brothers were mere vagrants on the unforgiving slopes of Tara Hill, where survival meant pilfering from passing caravans under the threat of the sword. It was Covenas who had steered him from the brink of death, where the spectral claws of the great Beast God hovered ever-near and into a life of security.
