Author's Note

This card has a real prototype among my friends.

Visual Description

A bearded man stands with hands on his hips, wearing a simple tunic belted at the waist and a narrow headband like a crown. A small black-and-white bird perches on his left shoulder. Behind him are dark evergreen trees to one side and rolling hills with a winding river to the other, with the Roman numeral IV at the top of the card. A banner at the bottom reads "THE EMPEROR."
