The world of EldritchDark does not hand you one true faith. Religions are like opinions: everybody has one, and everybody wants to tell you about theirs. Monotheistic churches, polytheistic households, fly-by-night cults, private saints, and stranger creeds all belong in the Weird Age.
Use this reference when a player names a belief, cult, church, patron, or personal creed. A character can make their own pantheon, but most folk still recognize the broad worship archetypes used by the manual.

Prompt
Create visibly provisional occult ornament art for EldritchDark using file tabs, ledger marks, old labels, restrained symbols, and black-ink divider rhythm. Keep the horror subtle and symbolic. Avoid real protected marks, Bellwater copying, D&D art, living artist style references, and final logo work.
Placeholder art is visibly labeled in the SVG., Replace with reviewed human-created ornament art.
issue-387-art-direction-repair-case-file-ornament: Replaced the schematic ornament proof with a denser black-ink, noir case-file SVG that better follows the issue 387 art direction.
Provider

Prompt
Revise the provisional occult ornament SVG so it reads as black-ink interior art with engraved hatching, noir case-file ephemera, pulp manual density, and restrained weird horror.
Accepted asset path: /assets/eldritchdark/manual/placeholder-art/case-file-ornament.webp
, Replaces the loud issue 387 ornament while preserving the durable case-file-ornament asset id.
, Accepted because it works as a quiet worship/religions proof without protected symbols, readable canon text, or review labels.
, Future human-created ornament art should supersede this event instead of deleting the AI curation history.
