i think the ones in the various Encyclopedia entries of the ages is all we have, as it hasn't been present for anything(for the moment) other than how it's sank into the earth and seemingly just kind of exists in the way of driving things mad ambiently since then.

There’s official art of the Shade? Where can it be found?

Somewhere I remember reading that the enemies you fight in the Coli are either possessed "shade-touched" familiars, with a (I think headcanon?) that some are like shadowy shade mimic clones. So you could interpret that as the shade could be visually anything, in theory.

Since you said "other than that mural thingy", well, there isn't any other official artwork! The "mural thingies" that contain the Shade however are the following: [img]https://www.flightrising.com/images/wiki/firstage/image_03.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.flightrising.com/images/wiki/firstage/image_04.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.flightrising.com/images/wiki/thirdage/image3.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.flightrising.com/images/wiki/thirdage/image5.jpg[/img] This short video (the epilogue) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4eA4ixE6cA& Besides the aforementioned "mural thingies" I should probably mention the following lore from [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?p=wiki&article=106]Cracks In The Ice:[/url] [quote name=Encyclopedia] "More importantly, a vital question hasn’t been answered: why would ones blessed by the Icewarden also carry the scent of the Shade?" Solveig’s eyes brightened with anticipation, something Wemba had not expected. "I don’t know," Wemba shook her head. "The elders say the Shade makes certain beasts more aggressive and areas of land more dangerous, but it’s not like we’ve ever physically seen it." She thought for a moment, racking her aching head for old memories from when she was a hatchling. "As far as we’ve been taught, stories and songs make it sound as though the Shade’s just a part of Sornieth, and has been, all the way back to the destruction of the World Pillar. Some say that remnants of it fell to the ground like rain and seeped into the land." She looked to Trendal who nodded. Wemba turned back to the Gaolers, "But I don’t know why Trendal and I would smell of the Shade any more than...well, everything else in the world!" Wemba was unprepared for the wave of shock radiating from the trio of ancient dragons in response to her words. [/quote] Not quite artwork, but it's relevant!

Also: not official, but I remember someone making a very cool “what if the Shade was a Flight” thread. If you go into the Phoatlshop 2.0 thread, it should be on the signature of the first poster, as a clickable black banner. (That’s how I found it, anyway)
