There is a collage of pictures in front of ocean water.

Picture one is of a boy crouched down with his head covered as a fire burns in the background. Picture two shows an old piece of parchment with unreadable script. Picture three shows a group of rich party-goers climbing a marble staircase. Picture four shows a person wrapping up the wounded hand of another. Picture five is of a chair by the window of a ship, looking out on ocean waters and a ship in the distance. Picture six shows two hands tied to a pole on the beach. Picture seven shows an old tavern shelf shocked with whiskey. Picture eight is of an island with a castle and small village surrounding it. Picture nine is of a girl on the run with a dagger in hand.

Surrounding the collage are gold outlines of flowers.
