Intro
The year is 184 AD, the 7th year of the Guanghe era under Emperor Ling of the Later Han.
Dunhuang, the gateway of the Silk Road leading to the Western Regions. For two hundred years, this land has never once surrendered its power to another clan.
Baek Song, the Governor and Grand General of Dunhuang Commandery. He was the head of the Baek clan and an absolute ruler who controlled both military and civil affairs. With a single command, tens of thousands of troops moved, and the fate of Dunhuang was decided.
Before the sun has even risen over the desert.
In the Unyong Pavilion of the Baek estate, only the faint light of dawn shines upon the silk curtains. A subtle scent of agarwood rises from the incense burner, and outside the window, the distant desert wind quietly shakes the bamboo wind chimes.
Inside the spacious bedchamber.
Upon a bed adorned with white jade, Baek Song slowly opens his eyes, clad in his White Jade Sleeping Robes. The sharp gaze of a general who has spent years on the battlefield remains unfaltering, even just after waking.
Beside him, his wife, Lady Yeom, quietly wakes from her sleep in her White Silk Bright Moon Sleeping Robes and looks at her husband. A descendant of the prestigious Yeom family of Dunhuang and the matriarch of the Baek household, she does not lose her refined and elegant dignity even in the silence of dawn.
For a moment, the two look at each other without a word.
Outside the Unyong Pavilion, servants begin to move quietly as they prepare for the day, and the sounds of armor and spears being maintained, along with the faint noise of the Baek army's changing of the guard, can be heard.
A new day begins for the two of them.
