Visual Description
An armored, helmeted figure stands like a sentinel at the water's edge, hands resting on the pommel of a long sword whose point touches the surf. In the foreground a dark-haired woman in a tattered black dress sits on a rock, head bowed and one foot braced on the stone. Sheer cliffs rise to the left and foamy waves roll beneath a sky washed in warm ochre and amber tones. The card border displays the Roman numeral IV, multilingual titles including THE EMPEROR, and an Aries glyph in the lower corner.
