Create a grimdark sci-fi cover scene titled “Mortalis: Ash Will Answer.” The setting is a war-torn, apocalyptic future. In the foreground stands Commander Verrax, a towering figure in scarred, industrial power armor, one cybernetic eye glowing faintly beneath a cracked helmet held under his arm. His armor is marked with syndicate kill-tallies, rusted sigils, and battle damage. He stands atop the blackened ruins of a collapsed city, ash swirling at his feet in a wind thick with smoke and dust. In the background: corpse-strewn battlefields, ruined corporate megastructures, distant explosions, and twisted banners of fallen factions snapping in toxic wind. The sky is a mix of blood-red, burnt orange, and void-black, streaked with debris from orbital wreckage. Faint silhouettes of eldritch monoliths or gods loom in the storm clouds above — barely visible, like nightmares bleeding into reality. At the top: the word “MORTALIS” in ancient, cracked stone or rusted metallic font. Centered below that in bold, scorched lettering: “Ash Will Answer” Dark color palette: ashen grays, ember-orange, oily blacks, industrial rust, and flickers of bio-luminescent green. The mood: heavy, hopeless, powerful. A universe where nothing is sacred — but everything remembers. See more
