Drawing by Bryden, one of the few Free City artists to sign their work.

This image introduces a fantastical, almost tarot-like register into the Free City sequence. The horned woman, the bearded sorcerer figure, and the blank-eyed attendant suggest a procession of archetypes drawn from the occult revival, underground comics, and psychedelic poster art, where erotic power, ritual knowledge, and theatrical menace are all held in suspension. In the context of Free City, the piece reads as an emblem of the visionary imagination itself: seductive, ceremonial, and slightly dangerous, as though the new city required not only politics and prophecy but its own mythology.
