[Long description: The frame pulls out to show the party traipsing through the tundra. There are three of them: A soldier, a shepherd, and a stranger.
The soldier takes the lead. She has a strong, stout frame, which is exaggerated by the thick fur collar of her military overcoat. An angular symbol, like two interlocking triangles, is embroidered on her shoulder guard. She rests a firm hand on the hilt of her sabre. She is fair-haired, with a strong jaw and faint wrinkles under her stern, black eyes. Messy braids pull her hair back into a loose ponytail, but don't do much to tame the flyaways in this weather.
The shepherd follows close behind. We can see that she's much younger than the other two. She vanishes under her oversized fur parka, especially in the soldier's shadow. Her dark hair falls over her eyes in a choppy bob, but she peers through with a mix of curiosity and trepidation.
The stranger brings up the rear. He's clothed from toe to tip, and hides his face behind a white mask. It's sparsely decorated, with two lines for eyes and a single dot for a mouth. His silhouette is obscured by a long, black shawl, which is decorated with the same pattern as the soldier's coat. ]
