Two armored knights duel with glowing weapons in a snowy castle courtyard, with fallen soldiers nearby, in a high-fantasy illustration.

Type: high‑fantasy D&D illustration, vertical orientation, very wide panoramic framing. Scene: daytime, cold light, inside the inner walls of Argive — the military quarter, full field of mars. Visual brief: wide panoramic view of the training ground: numerous training poles, wooden targets and dummies, tattered banners (at least 3 with the Argive emblem), low internal walls, barracks and warehouses; snow and mud patches; light debris and signs of recent devastation near the inner walls. In the foreground Tivadar and Lovisa duel but remain small relative to the scene; both wear closed helms. Tivadar: spiked armor inspired by Lovisa but in steel blue‑gray, thorn motifs and spikes, two‑handed spiked war‑maul with a round, spiked head; slight aasimar glow around his head. Lovisa: dark bronze armor with thorny vine motifs and spikes (use provided armor reference), wields a končiaras (long estoc), closed helm. Their weapons clash and bright warm sparks fly; metal shards, dust, snow and mud kicked up. Snowflakes fall; breath visible. Distant instructors and comrades watch; other soldiers train on poles and targets. Beyond the inner walls the citadel of Argive is visible but smaller and distant; snowy mountains on the horizon. Lighting: crisp cold daylight (blues, grays, whites); sparks are warm accents (orange/yellow). Palette: steel blue‑gray, dark bronze, steel gray, dirty white snow, earthy ground tones; red accents for banners. Style: realistic D&D manual illustration, See more
