Knight of Swords

Brief Description

The Knight of Swords depicts a fast-moving armored rider and horse charging forward, sword drawn and eyes protected against debris. It symbolizes decisive action, swift momentum, and the urge to craft a plan before advancing. Upright, it encourages making a move now, harnessing a burst of creative energy while still thinking before acting. Reversed, it warns of impatience and losing control, advising you to wait for more information, slow down, and guard your thoughts; the bind rune clears the path and reassures that you are making the right choices.

Description

A rider sits in the saddle on their horse. They wear sturdy riding armor. They lean into their reins and have their sword out and ready to cut whatever stands in their way. The rider's helm is made of sturdy metal and has additional eye protection. The horse and rider move very fast, and the eye armor protects the rider's eyes from debris and wind. The horse rears up on its hind legs. It is ready to charge off into the path the rider has set for them. The horse is well-armored as well. Dirt fills the air, and the white cape of the rider billows with the sudden momentum. A bindrune appears near the front hooves of the horse.

Visual Description

A heavily armed knight in fur-trimmed armor and a helmet rides a rearing white horse across a windswept, rocky landscape. He holds a long sword aloft with his right hand while a white cloak billows behind him. The horse wears ornate harness fittings and lifts its forelegs mid-stride, kicking up dust and mist. Dark, brooding clouds fill the sky and at the bottom of the card the title 'KNIGHT OF SWORDS' is visible in stone-like lettering.
