A grim D&D-style illustration. A forest camp at dusk. A caravan of iron cages covered in chained, rune-inscribed tarps stands ominous. Fog rolls in, casting shadows. A Crow Guild mercenary using crows masks murmurs to a companion, pointing subtly at glowing red symbols seeping through a tarp. Another guard stands near a floating cage, backing away in fear. In the foreground, a player character examines a torn corner of the tarp revealing a symbol pulsing with arcane light. From within, a faint lullaby echoes. A crow perches silently above. The mood is tense, foreboding, heavy with unspoken truths.
