The Emperor & His Shadow | Fantasy Greeting Card

$4.75
Only 2 available

This gorgeously detailed greeting card features vibrant dark sorcery! Inspired by the beautiful and dangerous Fae Folk, none should underestimate their power or cruelty. Ageless and ancient, the Emperor stands surrounded by ravens, bats and moths, all shadow fiends of his own creation. Beside him, a mysterious cloaked servant woman blends into the darkness. Pale as bone, and old as stone.

Small yet mighty, these greeting cards double as framable art! This size is well suited for shelf or office decor, small enough to take up minimum space, yet powerful enough to draw all eyes in the room.

From an Unfinished Saga

These are my own original characters from a story I started long ago. Lord Vernack is a man of endless guile and patience. Though his appearance can pass as human, his people are the Eckwhiská, a race of shadow shifters closely related to Elves. Vernack possesses the ability to change his form from man to creature, or even multiple creatures if the need arises. However, any form he takes appears eerily insubstantial, as if it could melt into shadow and become nothing at all.

As the main antagonist, Vernack prefers to wield the power of his clever mind over physical strength and magic, though he does not lack for either. He has spent more than 300 years infiltrating the mortal realm of Aneurick, carefully pitting kingdoms against one another while usurping power and wealth from all of them. The constant war serves as a cover for his true ambition. He seeks a relic from an empire he previously destroyed.

Wherever he goes his mysterious servant follows, pale as ivory and black as pitch. She stands in the shadow of her master, rarely seen, never heard, yet ever ominously present.

"Here in the candlelight he still possessed a cold beauty, with high carved cheek bones, an ageless brow, and a straight down-turned nose. This was but a memory, a fragment of the man he once was. The same flickering light that danced across his golden cup and in the multitudinous rubies of the brooch pinned at his throat, also reflected in the two dark mirrors of his eyes, but only there did that light seem dead."
