" ' Dragons of War.' was my inspiration for writing Sturm's final battle," recalls Weis.  "I had it hanging on the wall in front of me, and there were times I literally couldn't see it through my tears.  Keith, I believe, portrays the battle as taking place at sunset.  I wanted it at sunrise, however, to symbolize that though Sturm had died, his sacrifice was the dawn of hope for the world."
