This powerful gouache painting features Kor, the high priest of Shame, rendered in stark monochromatic grays against a blazing crimson background. This artwork served as the original cover for "The Admonishments of Kherishdar," the second book in the Books of Kherishdar series, before later editions adopted different imagery. It visually embodies the book's unflinching exploration of crime and punishment within Ai-Naidari society, where Kor serves as both witness and arbiter. The stark contrast between dark figure and crimson background reflects the book's intimate yet emotionally intense examination of justice, shame, and cultural norms.
This print would particularly appeal to Lucid Sojourners and Scarred Titans who appreciate challenging, thought-provoking narratives that don't shy away from difficult themes. Reproduced with high-quality archival inks that capture the original gouache painting's depth and texture, this rare artwork offers collectors and readers a chance to own a piece of Kherishdar's visual history that is no longer available on current editions.
