Splinterlands Art Contest Week 261: Edith Emberstar

Here is my entry this week for the Splinterlands Art Contest found HERE

Went with a scene that depicts her craftsmanship with producing arrowheads, rather than her skill at archery. Sure, holding the bowstring taut and posing like an action hero has its appeal. But there is something to be said for the master craftswoman working hard in her workshop... she reminds me of... of...

Yup, that's who I was thinking of...

The Lyverian Sheriffs of Anumün never forget a crook… or a grudge. This is the story of how a young woman stealing medicine turned into a massive inter-Splinter fugitive hunt and brought two powerful civilizations to the brink of all-out war.

It all started at the Lyverian central marketplace one spring afternoon. Edith Emberstar had just finished setting up her stall where she sold exquisite handmade arrowheads. The young archer had only been in business for several months, but the incredible quality and craftsmanship of her arrowheads had already earned her a measure of local fame. She couldn’t keep up with the demand because of the extreme popularity of competitive archery in Lyveria, so she only went to market twice a week. It usually only took thirty minutes or so to sell out of her entire stock. It was quite a walk from the simple woodland cottage where she lived with only her aging mother, and it took most of the morning to reach the walled city. She hoped that someday she would raise enough money to purchase a horse (or even a mule) to make the journey easier, but her own legs worked fine and it seemed there were always better things to do with seed coins.
