A fantasy illustration from "Tyrants of the Moonsea." depicts a spellcaster on the left with long hair, armour, and a glowing blue hand, casting toward a massive, multi-eyed, bird-like construct creature with hooked appendages above. Both are set against a fiery, dark background. The golden title text "TYRANTS OF THE MOONSEA" is in the upper right, with a small sword icon above it.

A low-lit, atmospheric gameplay screenshot from the Neverwinter Nights showing a dark fantasy scene inside a dark stone cavern. In the centre, a dark warrior clad in heavy plate armor sits atop a rearing nightmare. The horse features smoldering, fiery hooves that cast a warm, dynamic orange glow onto the rocky, uneven cavern floor below. Spikes and a collection of glowing white skulls adorn the rider's helmet and backpiece, and they hold a weapon aloft. The surrounding underground environment is bleak and treacherous, littered with scattered piles of bones, debris, and ancient skulls. On the far left, the partial frame of an animated skeleton warrior stands in the shadows, creating a sense of immediate danger and high-stakes survival.
