She does not weep. She does not retreat.

Clad in ash and crimson, a lone woman strides forward—her grip clenched not around a weapon, but the torn flag of a ravaged nation. This design is adapted from Arthur Rackham’s stirring 1915 illustration, originally featured in *King Albert’s Book*, created in solidarity with the Belgian people following the 1914 German invasion.

Her eyes hold the fury of firebombed cities and the memory of children buried beneath rubble. She is unnamed. She is every woman who stayed. Every citizen who did not bow. Every soul who knew that survival was not enough—resistance, too, must be beautiful.

Rendered in muted earth tones with a storm-split sky, this piece channels defiance—not as a roar, but as an oath. The word *UNCONQUERABLE* wraps the toe like a seal: not propaganda, but truth, earned and carried.

This is not a symbol. It is a burden made into armor. It belongs to those who remember, and to those who refuse to forget.

Wonders Whispered About These Wares

Powers Bestowed Upon the Possessor

Grasp of the Unbroken Oath: Your resolve cannot be shaken; your cause is remembered in every footfall.

Ashen Shield of Memory: You carry the weight of what was lost—its protection, its sorrow, its truth.

Banner of the Unnamed Flame: You are fire cloaked in silence, igniting resistance where others would kneel.

Jaded Lament Discovery Note

The Laments found this worn design etched into the inside of a munitions crate buried beneath a collapsed chapel in the war-scarred hills of Namur. The crate held no weapons—only soot-stained paper, a child’s ribbon, and a single page torn from King Albert’s Book. Someone had scrawled “She stayed” across the top in a woman’s hand. The rest was ash.

Why the Laments Loved This Artifact

  • Adapted from Arthur Rackham’s 1915 illustration in King Albert’s Book, a visual cry of solidarity through art
  • Storm-split sky and earthen palette evoke bombed cities, scorched earth, and unyielding resolve
  • The word UNCONQUERABLE wraps the toe like a truth you have to earn
  • A woman at the center—unnamed, unbent—honoring all who resisted not with swords, but with survival
  • Revered by the Laments as one of the rarest forms of protest: beauty carved from devastation

These Vibes Shall Be the Emanation

A sky split by silence, a march not of fury but of promise. This design hums with tension held at the jawline, eyes forward, blood cooled into resolve. It does not cry out—it endures, unbending. Burnt umber and dusty crimson echo old flags and sunken cathedrals. A war hymn in rust tones.

Hymns to Strengthen Thy Enchanted Relic

Lend Thine Ear, Fortify Thy Powers. Invoke these chants whilst donning thy wares, that the enchantment might seep deeper into thy bones.

Agnes Obel – “Familiar”
Haunting and echo-laced, like the memory of voices that once rang through ruined halls.

Leonard Cohen – “You Want It Darker”
The quiet fury of someone who has seen too much and still stands.

Sufjan Stevens – “John My Beloved”
Grief made delicate—an elegy for all that was beautiful and gone.

PJ Harvey – “The Words That Maketh Murder”
War, told in sharp poetic fragments, with rage humming just beneath.

Joanna Newsom – “Sapokanikan”
History unspools in riddles and ruins—layered, lush, and lightly cracked.
