She dodged the accusation by claiming that the name was referring to a fox owned by the King. The crown the fox on the sign wears has been painted over, and the owner now despises the acolyte, and always spits in his drinks Earth came first, then water, then air, fire is the youngest The Crows, bandits in the hills, are the lost boys from hook meets red dawn, teens and pre teens disillusioned by the system, and are fighting back.
