HQ: Conflict with the Lunars

Pen and ink illustration for Moon Design Publications' Sartar: Kingdom of Heroes.

Conflict with the Lunars
In the distance is mount Kero Fin (Wintertop), it looks like a needle it is so thin and tall, and is covered in snow. In the sky a Red Moon hangs, the sky has turgid clouds as if a storm is coming. The landscape is hilly farmland.

The scene shows a simple farmstead under attack from soldiers from the Lunar Empire, they are burning the houses, and fighting with good Orlanthi folk. The scene should feature several Orlanthi warriors defending their home, and there should be things like women fleeing, cattle running away etc.

The Lunars
All will have upon them the Balance or Moon Rune, they favour scimitars, sickles and rhomphia.

The Orlanthi
I would suggest that the fighters are a mixture of woad covered and tattooed true warriors, mixed with young boys and farmers who have grabbed the nearest implement. They should be fighting valiantly.
