Brother of Jared

The brother of Jared, the sixteen shining stones, and the finger of the Lord (Book of Ether 1–6)

draft

Look & feel: Reverent, cinematic, period-accurate ancient seafaring world. A consistent darkness-to-radiant-light journey: deep shadow inside the barges and on the storm-tossed deep, broken by the pure white glow of the sixteen touched stones and the awe of divine light. Earthy stone-and-gold palette, coarse undyed cloth, timber and woven craft. The divine touch is depicted with reverence — radiant light and a glowing fingertip emerging from brightness, never a full irreverent figure of the Lord; the moment is light, awe, and the man falling back in worship. Photoreal cinematic live-action, 16:9.
