Visual Description

A rocky, narrow pass framed by jagged cliffs and a bare, gnarled tree branch overhead. A green, horned creature crouches on a boulder, poised and alert, while a hooded traveler with a walking staff and pack moves away down the path. Small twigs or a short wand motif appear near the top border and the numeral 5 is printed at the bottom. The palette is muted with blues, greys and earthy tones.
