Image Description: An icon, not unlike a Byzantine one, of the Pale King with some attendants. The Pale King is the most prominent figure against the shining gold background, his gleam composing a long neck wrapped in cloth, and a face not unlike a man’s – long, thin-nosed, with a neutral frown and almond eyes – and his crown rising out of circle pearls and teardrops in four mouth-hooks. With four of his hands he holds a black egg.
His attendants wear grey escoffions and are also wrapped in shapeless pale robes – though theirs have the more subtle colors of mortality. One attendant holds up the King’s robe, and the other two carry the soon-to-be Pure Vessel’s helmet and their sword. Wrapping around the image is an arched border, with decorations of geometry, curling trees, and insect’s wings in gold, emerald, and ruby. End ID.
