The counterposter to Hanen's "Peace through Death". This is depiction of the Goddess Almatha shortly after she creates her namesake world, and the four moons that orbit it.

As I said in class: "That dog is setting orbits." Oh yes. I am eloquent as frack.

Note the symbols on each of the celestial bodies. The largest one in Almatha's hand is the planet.... Almatha. Maybe I ought to change that. The moon wrapped in her hair is Camida (note the crescent shape that appears throughout Hanen's design), and the three-prnged one in the upper left is Fenizyr. I'm pretty sure that makes the sunburst moon Eodol, and the four-petal-flower one Kamar.

Almatha is a very powerful goddess, she is a pheonix from whose heart the world was sprung. Her fire is so fierce that she began to slowly destroy herself, at which point the denizens of her world step up and save her by absorbing her fire. Thus.... magic! This fire is sustained via a spiritual link between Almatha, and every single living thing she's every created.

Very powerful. The mechanics are a bit complex. Nonetheless, she severed Hanen's link when he tried to use that power against her. He did not take it well, at all.

There's some color theory at work here with these two posters. Boiled down to its simplest elements, blue is darkness and void, red is life, white can be either light or power depending n the context. Hanen is done in muted purple because he is not truly "evil" or "dark", he is a complex character who is very angry and frustrated with his circumstances. Therefore, while he certainly is not red, he's not blue either - though he is white, because he is still a formidable opponent, even without Almatha's energy to supplement his own.
