Astarion from Baldurโs Gate 3 stands in front of a wood half-elf, tears falling from his wide, crimson eyes. The half-elf holds his face gently in her scarred hands, her expression peaceful and serene. Around her neck hang mala beads, the symbol of Lathander glowing, hidden behind the pale elf's head. Behind the half-elf stands a distorted version of Astarion โ a werebat creature with large wings, massive claws, and thick fur running down his chest and fluffed up around his neck. Blood covers his mouth as his eyes are turned downward to the half-elf, his expression contemplative. Behind the werebat's head, a blood moon glows, illuminating most of the picture in a deep, rich red. A gothic gold border hangs in all for corners along with a prophecy/poem follows the edges of the picture. It reads as follows: "Death will come bearing fruit/ As light chases the dark/ Life will be found in another realm/ Rooted deep within the heart/ Winter will fall and fade to dust/ Beneath rooted limbs in dirt and soil/ To bring back hope once thought lost/ On a night where the Moon turns to rust"
