**Prompt for the image:**

At the top of the illustration image: *"By Odin’s Beard, James & Debs Tied the Knot (With Viking Rope!)"*

Create an illustration in a solemn, richly detailed style inspired by Viking culture. In a dramatic fjord-side setting at twilight, depict a sacred Norse wedding ceremony beneath a carved wooden stave arch adorned with rune-inscribed banners and garlands of wildflowers and wolf pelts. James and Debs, dressed in ceremonial Viking wedding garb—fur-lined cloaks, braided hair, silver torcs, and leather belts—stand facing each other with hands bound by a traditional woven handfasting cord, glowing faintly as if imbued with ancient magic. A stern old gothi (Viking priest) officiates, holding a horn filled with mead aloft under a brooding sky streaked with soft amber light.

In the background, a solemn gathering of Viking villagers, longships anchored in the distance, and faint silhouettes of ravens flying overhead add gravitas. The atmosphere is serene and respectful, the landscape epic and majestic. Let the colors be muted and earthy—deep browns, steel greys, mossy greens, and smoky blues—to emphasize the heartfelt gravity of the moment. The couple glows faintly with warmth in contrast to the rugged surroundings.
