1. Art Description
Here's the original art description for Toil to Renown:
Action: Talara Many-Tined is a young elf warrior of great renown. She guards an elvish safehold built around a waterfall, one of the only relatively beautiful places on this world. Here we see Talara in long robes, standing in the shallows below the falls, bringing her sword to rest on the head of a fellow elf who's kneeling, as though she's knighting her. There should be a sense of strong, benevolent, nature magic.
Mood: We will find a way to celebrate life in this bleak place.

When the art came in, it was still a little too bright. The background was darkened to bring up the sense of hope and valor in a dark place.
