• [Ethan Chandler and Ferdinand Lyle have a discussion about wolves] 

  Ferdinand Lyle : On battle shields the heraldic iconography's not actually meant to strike terror in the opponent as you'd think. Rather, it's meant to evoke protection. The figures are more spirit guides and totems of significance to the owner. Dragons and griffons and the like.

  Ethan Chandler : So the wolves will protect.

  Ferdinand Lyle : Yes, grisly bit of business. But that's why they call them the Dark Ages.

  Ethan Chandler : I saw wolves where I grew up, in the New Mexico territory. Timber wolves. Enormous things.

  Ferdinand Lyle : Oh?

  Ethan Chandler : They hunted in packs. They'd isolate a cow or sheep or what have you by barking and growling. But when they finally attacked, it was completely silent. They'd... they'd tear out the windpipe first. You couldn't hear anything, but the blood splashing on the ground. They didn't protect anything. They just fed.
