Visual Description
A young armored knight rides a dark horse, sword raised upright and held near his face. Behind him a large circular stained-glass window or radiant sun bursts with rays, and low clouds swirl around the horse's hooves. The knight wears fur-trimmed armor with intricate gold details and the horse has a plated mask; a banner at the bottom reads 'Knight of Swords.'
