A celestial reckoning rendered in splintered ink and heaven’s fury—The War Above draws directly from Albrecht Dürer’s 1511 woodcut St. Michael Fighting the Dragon, and channels the full force of apocalyptic beauty. The scene unfolds across the canvas like scripture in motion: St. Michael rises with wings spread and spear drawn, crashing down upon a many-headed beast as other angelic warriors follow, eyes cold with divine command.

Every panel of the design pulses with sacred momentum—wings slicing sky, dragons writhing in ink-carved torment, halos flaring with righteousness. The composition doesn’t rest. It churns. It storms. And on foot, it marches with the force of prophecy.

The rose-magenta duotone evokes the palette of war-stained parchment and shattered cathedral glass. This is not a peaceful sky—it’s the holy violence that precedes judgment.

Wonders Whispered About These Wares

Powers Bestowed Upon the Possessor

Seraph’s Strike – The ability to descend at the exact moment when action and judgment must meet.

Warden of the Rift – The strength to hold the line between collapse and creation, fury and grace.

Bloodborne Radiance – A sacred, terrifying beauty that blazes brighter the more the darkness presses in.

Jaded Lament Discovery Note

These were once standard issue for Order Scribes stationed along the Riftline—the barrier between this world and whatever the angels couldn’t contain. They were said to help you keep your balance in divine crosswinds. But mostly, they just made you look really ready to smite something.
