I realize this is a small issue, but it's something I noticed. In Rising From the Last War, information on the Dragonmarked Houses is provided in the relevant character creation section for the associated Dragonmark. Each House's section contains an image of the House's crest. In the case of the Mark of Shadow, of course, there are two associated Houses. The problem is that the image used contains both Phiarlan and Thuranni as a single PNG. It would be beneficial to have each one separated into its own image, so that they may be displayed separately.
More than that, I noticed that the image height is particularly small (334 px height). This makes sense if it's a single, lengthy, horizontal crest like Ghallanda's (294 px height), but each crest here is more similar to Medani's crest (402 px height), which is also circular. If they were each given their own image, I would assume that their quality wouldn't be downgraded as much and would be closer to 400 px height. 70ish px may not seem like a lot, but when I took the time to edit the two crests apart for my own campaign, there was visible pixelation when I tried to resize Phiarlan's crest to be roughly the same size as Medani's. When viewed next to one another, it's a bit unfortunate that the difference in quality was easy enough to see.
I think it would be nice to have them split up if only for ease of showing the crests to players separately, but it would also be nice to have higher resolution copies of the crests in general.
