Burdens chosen, burdens carried, burdens passed, and burdens shared throughout the Archon War.

Burdens that are especially heavy for a avian adeptus enslaved for the bulk of his life, his freedom torn from him, along with his wings.

And burdens that are especially heavy for a half-qilin learning to accept and value herself and her heritage, and live with a sense of balance and purpose.
