Key art for Manor Lords. An armoured person atop their house surveying the kingdom before them. It is a pastoral idyll, all verdant green and topped with a castle on a hill, like a cherry tops a cake. A, um, grassy cake.

A side-on, cartoony illustration of a wizardly old man, by the looks of things, wearing a high collared cloak and a stern expression. Behind him, pink swirling magic can be seen.
