Visual Description
A stern, armored man stands on a shore holding three long swords—two cradled upright and one with its point pressed into the sand. Two swords lie on the ground near his feet while two other figures walk away toward the water in the middle distance. A pale sky and distant hills form the horizon behind them. An ornate border frames the scene and the numeral 5 is shown at the top of the card.
