This illustration features a scene set in Achlys from Sunless Skies. At the bottom is a wooden stand where a bald, Black man, wearing a loose collared shirt and suspenders, holds a pad of paper. Behind him are piles of spices and tea for sale. He is lit by the glow from a paper lantern hanging in the rafters of his store.
On the roof, a white person with medium-length brown hair, tied back into a ponytail, smokes while watching two other people do a tea ceremony. One person is dressed in the style of people from London, while the other person, who is pouring out tea, is dressed more in the Asian style of clothing. Fireflies light up the roof, casting soft glows on everyone. Above the tea ceremony is a wooden window with a teacup set on the sill. There is a wooden beam that stretches from the building next to the stand to another off-screen.
In the upper left is a frame of ferns with spores hanging off the branches. It borders a wooden sign that says "Achlys: The Court of Tea and Spices." The background is a dark forest-green.
