I don't understand why people see cover art with Saladin holding an axe with wolves and suddenly draw a line of correlation thinking we're gonna get an axe or pets. IT'S F*CKING COVER ART. The wolves are there because he's a Lord of Iron and the Iron Wolves and Iron Banner. It's their mascot, so to speak. He has an axe for dramatic flair. It's dramatized cover art for sales purposes (after all, people bitched about $40 for ttk, Activision better put out awe inspiring art in order to get you to pay for Rise of Iron). The axe, the wolves, the might of the Iron Banner, and the theme is all about Saladin, not you. Not everything is about you and what you're going to get. Smh.
