Shadowheart smiles, her magic flickering between dark and light before ultimately melding into a twilight grey with accents of each.
Profile shot from the right, from the crowd's POV - SH's magic flares up as she walks, lining her in Shar's black and purple. Reverse shot from the other side, her magic now flaring Selûne's radiant white.
SH approaches a line of priests who are shoved roughly to their knees before her. Each wears the insignia of either Shar or Selûne, though they've become hopelessly muddled as the crowd hems them in from each side.
Shadowheart gestures at the waiting crowd, who fall upon the terrified clerics with nails and teeth. As we pull up and away from the shining figure in the midst of the seething mass of bodies, we see the Netherbrain pulse with power high above - and the sky itself take on the mingled colour's of Shadowheart's new church.
