"The Willow of Woe" & "Ashbark"-2 piece 7x7 Art & Poetry Plaque Set

The Willow of Woe & Ashbark — 7x7 Custom Wooden Plaque Set by Carlos M. Torres

This matched two-piece set features original artwork, poetry, and lore by Carlos M. Torres, permanently mounted on 7x7 custom wooden plaques with a distressed, crackled finish.

• The Willow of Woe portrays a sorrow-bound tree-being whose roots sink deep into grief, her form a quiet memorial to love lost.

• Ashbark embodies wrath given form—burning not to cleanse, but because peace was stolen from him, his fire a curse without end.

Displayed together, these plaques tell the tragic tale of two beings forever bound—Once Virelle, counterpart to Vaelthorn, she chose to bear the weight of loss in stillness after the Etching. Her tears sustain the garden of the dead around her roots, and her presence amplifies the grief of any who linger beneath her shade. Once Vaelthorn, counterpart to Virelle, he embraced rage as his survival. His bark is blackened, his breath ignites the air, and his voice is a series of splintering cracks. He burns not to protect or purify, but to make the world suffer as he has.
