Many of the feudal territories that now make up modern day Wesson carried out a tradition that betrayed their common ancestry: dogs fight honorably, and to fight honorably, one shows their face, one stares down their foe, one remains open and ready, and one runs not to flee but to chase.

...that is to say nothing of other species. And Eda is no dog. Her and many others were placed into espionage positions by the armies they fought under, sometimes winning battles for the dogs without a single drop of their side's blood being spilt. That garish yellow cloth contained the most effective implements of war this side of the continent, and the contribution of spies and saboteurs, as much as many historical records would try and shy away, were invaluable to the success of the many Wessual kingdoms.
