Description

And we have gazed into the Stars, our insatiable lust for power and knowledge driving us ever forward, while our empire crumbled beneath our feet.
- First Arcanist of Nevon, later known as Lady of Nevon
   The story of the Highborne island city of Nevon has been shrouded in darkness and mystery for millennia, but the Brigade's scholars have always assumed that the haunted, nightmare filled place followed similar path as the other cities of the ancient society.
   The Curse of Darkness caused its inhabitants to live in a nightmarish state, forever caught in between being awake and asleep. Experiencing everything around as if dreamed through a nightmare, the world colorless, soundless, tasteless and joyless. Origins of the curse are shrouded in mystery, but over the millennia, nearly all of the island’s inhabitants succumbed to the dreadful state. All but a few who held on and hoped for a rescue, instead of passing on willingly, to escape their dreadful fate.
   The Brigade stumbled upon the island by chance, during some marine exploration. It took them more than a year to break the curse, facing grave dangers and expending significant resources in the process. Once broken, the curse released Lady Nevon, and a handful of sentient undead from its clutches, returning them to the ‘real’ world. While some of these unfortunate beings decided to remain on the island and contemplate what to do with their newfound freedom, Nevon decided to join the ranks of The Brigade in order to repay them.
   I have decided to return to the story of Nevon and depict the fateful event that brought the Curse of Darkness upon the Island. The Lady of Nevon we have already seen has been long humbled by millennia under the effects of the curse, nowadays focusing on teaching others and practicing much less malevolent and dangerous forms of magic, than her earlier incarnation we can see here.
   I have opted for stylized approach and tried to test myself, giving the artwork quite a lot of time and attention. I hope you like the final outcome!

Here is Lady of Nevon, the Astromancer, as we know her today, and her Starseeker Pendant -
