Visual Description
A horned, armored king rides a rearing horse through a storm-lit sky, gripping a long scepter topped with a crosslike emblem. The mount's eyes and nostrils glow with ember-red light while flames and sparks swirl around its hooves. Dark clouds and forks of lightning frame the scene and tangled black roots or vines creep across the lower foreground.
