Valgaard
The walled town of Valgaard in the Allorian Mountains. This was ultimately the image chosen as the front cover for The Rise of Kings, and the first piece of concept art by Jon Torres.
The Island of Wan'Dring
Seemingly the most popular piece of concept art, and a close contender for the front cover, depicting the home of the Wandeer people, and the Wandeer ship, the Farewind, on its approach.
Torncloud Mountain
The base of Torncloud Mountain and the surrounding village of one of the western Tribes. And, I believe, Jon Torres' personal favourite.
The Wandeer Armour
This was the idea I'd always had in my head for the front cover of The Rise of Kings, but, after seeing Jon Torres' other finished pieces, it was changed without regret. An interpretation of the Wandeer-forged armour, its only purpose now is to stand there and look cool.
