So I have my initial (very rough) first sketch here. After agonizing over what I was going to do, I have decided to make Ellysium. Her army of knights are loyal even beyond death, and they will gladly join her on this battlefield against the darkness. Clad in her bone and leather armor, with her trusted polar bear, Seven, at her back, Ellysium is a champion who leads from the front. She is the beacon of light which her kingdom follows and her faith will ensure that the darkness will not prevail.
There will be a billowing snow storm, ghostly blue light, and ... something in that lower right corner... I don't know what yet.
