Artist Spotlight: Liz Danforth & Stories Behind Sorcery’s Stunning Artwork
17 December, 2024
Every card in Sorcery: Contested Realm is a hand-painted masterpiece, brought to life through the vision and creativity of our extraordinary artists. Among them is Liz Danforth, whose stunning works, including Mirror Realm and the Seelie and Unseelie Courts, have made a lasting impact on the game’s artistic legacy.
With a background steeped in anthropology, an eye for storytelling, and a love of myth and legend, Liz’s work weaves together rich narratives and visual splendor drawing from her research and personal experiences traveling.
We had the privilege of catching up with Liz to delve into the stories behind a few of her favorite pieces. Here’s what she shared!

Introducing the Unseelie Court
October 6 2024
The lid is off Pandora’s box of Arthurian Legends! The Sorcery team is attending Essenspiel in Germany, the boxes of cards are going out, and I finally get to talk about my hands-down favorite painting that has not yet been seen.
You’ve heard and read plenty about The Seelie Court painting: the fairies called the Good Folk, the Good Neighbors, the Fae. While they might not cleave to the morays and behaviors of mortal humankind, they are typically not the stuff of nightmares.
Not so their malicious cousins in the Unseelie Court.
