The Shadow Elves - Mystara by Clyde Caldwell (1990)

Painted in 1990 by Clyde Caldwell, 'The Shadow Elves' served as the cover illustration for the Dungeons & Dragons Gazetteer module GAZ13: The Shadow Elves (TSR Stock #9287). Set in the Known World of Mystara, the composition juxtaposes the subterranean realm of the Shadow Elves—complete with tribal face paint and piercings, a giant skinwing flying reptile mount, radiant Soul Crystals, and grand stepped ziggurat architecture—over an antique parchment map of the sunlit surface nations (including Glantri, Alfheim, and the Ethengar Khanates) that they secretly infiltrate and seek to reclaim.
