Image: Isometric Clash in Sellia Crystal Tunnel

The illustration presents an isometric, pulled-back view of a fierce confrontation deep within Sellia Crystal Tunnel, giving the scene the feel of a tactical battlefield rather than a close-up duel. From this elevated angle, the Tarnished stands in the lower left quadrant of the cavern, seen from behind and slightly above, creating a strong sense of scale between the lone warrior and the towering Fallingstar Beast. The Tarnished wears the distinctive Black Knife armor, its dark layered plates catching cool highlights from the surrounding crystals. A long black cloak streams backward, its edges sparkling with faint purple motes that echo the arcane energies filling the chamber. In the warrior’s right hand is a straight sword, held low but ready, its steel reflecting the glow of a jagged beam of violet lightning that stretches across the ground toward the enemy. The left hand is empty, emphasizing an agile, offensive stance rather than defense.

Across the cavern, the Fallingstar Beast dominates the upper right of the composition. Its massive body is built of golden, rocklike segments studded with sharp crystalline spines, each spike rim-lit to resemble molten metal. At the front of the creature, a translucent, swollen mass glows with swirling purple energy, as if the monster is bending gravity itself. From this core, a bolt of crackling power surges downward into the stone floor, throwing up sparks, molten fragments, and glowing debris that scatter outward in a circular shockwave. The beast’s long segmented tail coils upward behind it, adding to the sense of motion and lethal potential.

The environment is richly detailed thanks to the isometric perspective. Blue crystal clusters erupt from the left wall and foreground, their facets catching and refracting light like frozen lightning. On both sides of the tunnel, iron braziers burn with warm orange flames, their light pooling across the rough stone and balancing the cold blues and violent purples of the magical effects. The cavern floor is uneven and strewn with rubble, shattered crystal shards, and glowing embers, all rendered with depth that makes the tunnel feel like a three-dimensional maze rather than a flat backdrop.

Lighting ties the scene together: cool crystal light outlines the Tarnished’s silhouette, while the Fallingstar Beast is backlit so its spines glow like burning gold. Tiny starlike motes float through the air, giving the cavern an otherworldly, cosmic atmosphere. The overall composition freezes the moment just before a decisive exchange, with the Tarnished braced in defiance and the Fallingstar Beast roaring with gathered power, all viewed from a strategic, high-angle vantage that turns the battle into an epic tableau.
