In the cursed heart of the veiled glade, the young heir of the Cross bloodline stands alone beneath a moonless sky. Towering over him is the colossal Barkwraith — an ancient tree-born horror fused with living wood and eldritch flesh, its jagged antlers clawing at the heavens and its single bulging eye burning with the weight of forgotten oaths. Kneeling in solemn judgment is the Horned Sage, the wizened guardian cloaked in tattered robes, antlers rising like a crown of thorns, his bearded face etched with centuries of watchful silence. This hand-drawn blue-ink relic captures the exact moment the sacred (and cursed) pact is forged — the instant the Oathkeepers of Cross awaken to test and bind the newest soul to the Faction’s eternal burden. Raw, intimate, and pulled straight from the pages of a spiral notebook, this piece is the foundational artifact of the Cursed Faction Relic: The Oathkeepers of Cross collection.Tags: #CursedFaction #OathkeepersOfCross #RelicNFT #TheOathkeepersVigil #Barkwraith #HornedSage #YoungCross #DarkFantasy #HandDrawnRelic #NotebookArt #CursedInk #AlexanderCross #1of1Relic #MythicGuardians #Veilbound
