Image: Under a Falling Sky

The illustration is framed from a pulled-back, slightly elevated perspective that reveals a vast expanse of storming sky above the battlefield, making the confrontation feel both intimate and cosmic at once. In the lower left foreground stands the Tarnished, a small but resolute figure in layered Black Knife armor. Their dark cloak trails behind in ragged streamers, tugged sideways by the heat-driven winds, and their posture is low and braced, knees bent as if preparing to dash forward. In their outstretched right hand, a short dagger burns with an icy blue glow, its cool light cutting sharply against the surrounding firestorm. The Tarnished is shown mostly from behind, emphasizing their isolation and the scale of the enemy before them.

Towering across the middle and right of the composition is Starscourge Radahn, rendered as a colossal giant whose presence dominates the scorched plain. He appears mid-stride, charging through rivers of molten rock, each thunderous step sending sprays of embers and shards of flaming stone outward in wide arcs. His jagged, fused armor plates form a grotesque carapace around his massive torso, while his wild red mane flares upward like a living bonfire. In both hands he raises crescent-shaped greatswords etched with glowing runes, their blades nearly as long as the Tarnished is tall, carving fiery semicircles through the smoky air.

Between the two figures stretches a devastated landscape of cracked earth, glowing fault lines, and circular impact craters that ripple outward like scars on the world’s skin. From this slightly higher viewpoint, the geometry of destruction becomes clear: the ground buckles in rings around Radahn’s path, visually reinforcing his gravitational might and godlike weight.

Above the battlefield, the sky now commands more of the frame. It roils in deep purples, burning oranges, and smoky golds, streaked by dozens of meteors that cut diagonally across the heavens. Their luminous trails converge toward the center of the image, drawing the eye back to the two combatants below and making it feel as though the cosmos itself is collapsing inward on this moment. Fiery light from the meteors and the lava below sculpts Radahn in molten highlights, while the Tarnished remains edged in a thin blue halo from their blade, a fragile spark of cold resolve against overwhelming heat. The scene freezes the instant before impact, when a lone warrior faces a living catastrophe beneath a sky that seems to be falling apart.
