King of Wands
The King of Wands depicts a proud, determined ruler surrounded by flames, symbolizing bold leadership, passion, and creative authority. He grasps a staff and wields fire, indicating mastery of will, confidence, and unique expression. Upright, the card urges standing up for your beliefs, trusting your authority, applying knowledge, and burning with righteous fire; reversed, it warns of doubt, immobility, unchecked anger, and an uncaring or hot-headed personality. The bind rune 'own your talents' reinforces claiming and integrating your abilities into purposeful action.

They wear a heavy fur jerkin with medallions hanging at their neck. A large knot featuring the world tree adorns their belt. They have metallic knee and shin guards.
