Visual Description

A silver‑haired knight in a blue cloak rides a rearing white horse through a snowy, wind‑blown landscape. He holds a long drawn sword tilted forward and looks determined, cape and hair streaming behind him in the gusts. The horse is bridled and caparisoned with ornate orange‑gold tack, and distant mountains are visible under a stormy, clouded sky. Snow swirls around their hooves, suggesting haste and a cold, urgent passage.
