The emblem on the flag was a cluster of ice crystals, sharp as knives, with a fracture down the middle—the ice symbolized Frost, and the crack represented the self-exiled "rebels."

Its towering and majestic hull and prow blocked all curious gazes from the dock, while a contingent of City-State Guards rushed from a nearby garrison to seal off the access to the pier, preventing unrelated personnel from approaching.
