Votive artwork of a hunt from long ago

***** Atypical for the usual run of Public News Posts, this one is devoid of any readable words, instead showing a richly rendered image in hyper realistic detail. Set at night, a full Moon can be seen in the background sky, a rolling mass of whipped cloud cover wreathing themselves around it. Set atop a mountain, looking similar in it's topography as being one within the Tarean Range, the overall visual presence of this image has a carefully detailed sheen of wet drizzle all over it, the haze of water within the cold mountain air being so fine that it could almost escape the eye if one attempts to focus to closely on it, instead having more luck in seeing all of it if one's eyes were out of focus instead. Standing before a massive dihedral, a fair skinned, athletically built human, with short, bright blonde hair, and clad only in fitted, jet-black shorts, and rolling woad-blue tattoos of knotwork, spirals, and whirls that cover his entire body, save for the face, can be starkly seen here within the framework of the entire image. A large, old stag held firmly within the confines of his teeth, the cuspids of which are all abnormally large, the neck of the old hart clearly broken, it's back legs partially dragging along the ground as the rest of it's body is kept firmly lifted up, the humans purple eyes peering over it's recent kill with an intense dilation, their gaze fixated on a crudely, if cripplingly large, hacked image of the Hunter God, Haern, that has been wrought across the two faces of the dihedral he stands before. *****

Penned by my hand on Quensday, the 20th of Ios, in the year 9 AC.
