In the first issue of CrossGen’s The First, writer Barbara Kesel and artist Bart Sears launch a gripping tale of power, betrayal, and legacy. When Trenin leads a hunting party into the war-torn land of Nayado, they’re met with deadly resistance—only to find themselves caught in a struggle that will reshape the fate of the Secundae. With the Weapon of Atwaal in play and a Sigil passed in death, the balance of power shifts in a moment that echoes far beyond this single clash. Cover by Bart Sears and Andy Smith.

Trenin leads a hunting party to the land of Nayado, home of warlord and Sigil-Bearer, Todosi. Kerspan, one of the Secundae, kills Todosi's soldiers after they attack the First, believing them to be a threat to Todosi. Todosi injures Kerspan, Seahn reveals that he has brought the Weapon of Atwaal, and Trenin gives the weapon to Kerspan so he can kill Todosi. Kerspan kills Todosi, but, in his death throes, Todosi kills Kerspan, transfers his sigil to his brother, Obo-san, and causes the Weapon of Atwaal to fall into Obo-san's hands.
