The Velan Codex

Art direction

The two sides

The divide in the drawing system (mirrored strokes vs. independent strokes) is the divide in the art: one side is a reflection, the other a broken mirror. Both are beautiful; neither is drawn as evil.

The Evane: the mirror

The Facets (the Shattered): the broken mirror

The unaligned world

Villages, fields and roads belong to neither side: meadow green #7FA650, earth brown #A9744A, thatch and timber. The protagonist dresses in these earth tones. The mentor's coat carries half of each emblem, a white-gold sigil and a broken shard, stitched together.
