Card Title
THREE OF SHIELDS
Description
A Viking holds a hammer and chisel. They are hard at work, delicately crafting the intricate patterns and vegvísir that appear on the clan's shields. The Viking wears full armor. This suggests that they are working on the fly during an important battle. The vegvísir has been placed into one shield already. Two more shields hang on the wall behind the person. They are made with two types of wood: light and dark. Soon the Viking will take each of these shields off and begin the long, careful process to carve the same patterns into them, as they are doing with the one in front of them. More woodworking tools appear on the table in front of them. Two Runes appear on the shields hanging on the wall.
Upright
Focus on the details, your contribution matters, make critical short-term goals, express your talents.
Reversed
Operating alone, not taking advice, fighting against authority, stay silent, unable to listen to good advice.
Bind Rune
Stand by your beliefs with integrity.

Three round shields are mounted on the wall behind him, and a small circular token near the top displays the numeral "3." The scene is set in a timbered interior with carved posts and a worn wooden floor.
