As Amari and the others arrive in the desert town of Ibeji, the sight of the monarchy’s crest is a jarring reminder of Saran’s reach. The seal embodies Saran’s harsh ruling tactics.

Explanation and Analysis:
After the dramatic battle in the arena in Ibeji, Amari is haunted by memories of the captain she killed. His death is deeply disturbing to Amari for a few reasons. Having seen the pain and anguish her father’s violent tactics have caused throughout the kingdom, Amari has always tried to willfully choose another path.
