King of Swords
The King of Swords depicts a Viking warrior standing on a rocky outcropping, sword in hand, cloaked and armored, with two eagles flying above and a bindrune at the knee, symbolizing authority, clarity, and protection. Upright, the card represents stabilized authority, firm leadership, a commanding presence, taking a stand, and the ability to cut through illusions.
