Image description
A wide, cinematic view inside Gael Tunnel captures the tense heartbeat of an imminent battle. The cavern stretches outward in jagged layers of dark rock, its ceiling lost in smoke and drifting embers. Pools of molten magma glow across the cracked stone floor like veins of living fire, reflecting against the damp walls and throwing restless orange light across the scene. At the left side of the frame, the Magma Wyrm crouches low, its enormous bulk coiled like a living furnace. Its hide is rough and scaled, transitioning from soot-black stone to incandescent orange along its chest and neck, where flames boil out from between the plates of its armor-like skin. A blazing crown of fire engulfs its head, sparks lifting into the air as it exhales waves of heat that warp the space around it. Its tattered wings hang half-unfurled, torn membranes glowing faintly where lava light shines through them, and its claws dig into the molten rock as if testing the ground before the first charge.
On the right side stands the Tarnished, clad in the dark, elegant lines of the Black Knife armor. The figure is shown from behind and slightly to the side, emphasizing a guarded, deliberate posture. A hood shadows the Tarnished’s face, concealing their identity and lending a mysterious calm to the moment. Fine silver filigree patterns trace the edges of the armor, catching the firelight in subtle glimmers. In one hand the Tarnished grips a slender, curved dagger, its blade reflecting the molten glow, while the other arm is drawn back, ready to pivot into motion. The long, flowing cape trails behind, stirred gently by the hot air rising from the magma pools.
Between the two adversaries lies a stretch of fractured stone littered with glowing embers, a no-man’s-land that feels charged with anticipation. Old wooden supports and mine scaffolding cling to the far wall, hinting at the tunnel’s forgotten industrial past, while iron braziers burn weakly, their flames dwarfed by the wyrm’s inferno. The entire composition is frozen in the instant before chaos erupts: the Magma Wyrm lowering its blazing head in challenge, the Tarnished taking one final measured step forward. It is not yet violence, but inevitability, a moment of silence framed by fire, shadow, and ancient stone, where courage and ruin are about to collide.
