With a thunderous fanfare of trumpets and drums, and all the known notables of these fair realms in attendance, a simple ceremony begins.
A green banner, with the number 9998 emblazoned upon it in pure gold stitching and the hallowed name of GUTHWULF in the finest silver, is raised to a place of honour in the high, silver dome of the lobby. A moving tribute is then played, "Hail to the Creator" specially composed for this occasion. There is not a dry eye in the house as the banner reaches its final resting place.
The tribute suddenly ends, and in the deathly silence that ensues, only a single, lone wolf howl is heard in the distance, earily echoing and re-echoing through the rooms, corridors and souls of all present.
Ungoliant
