Illuminated manuscript-style illustration of a spectral black dog with glowing eyes on a foggy ridge with standing stones, surrounded by medieval decorative borders.

An illuminated manuscript-style illustration depicting a tall, spectral black dog standing atop a fogy ridge in the Lancashire moors at dawn. With the dog partially obscured by the fog. The hound is as tall as a man’s chest, with a broad, muscular build and fur that shimmers like wet stone. Its eyes glow amber-gold like candlelight through stained glass. The surrounding landscape is quiet and ethereal, with ancient knotwork-carved standing stones and distant hills lost in mist. Include decorative medieval borders with subtle Celtic patterns and motifs of saints (Columba, Brendan, Ninian), rowan leaves, and small crosses. The overall tone should be reverent and mysterious, not frightening — capturing awe, liminality, and quiet divine presence, like a page from a 14th-century illuminated bestiary with spiritual overtones.
