Of Dawnshard

In the foreground, a young woman sits in a chair aboard a sailing ship. She is reaching up to scratch under the chin of a winged creature with an exoskeleton body, which is draped around her shoulders. In the background, sailors move about and a man is seen at the ship railing, gesturing to a small humanoid creature that is hovering in the air.
