Image Description
The Emperor remembers... He recalls being a different person once. Was it his father? Or a Mentor? Or the Conquering King? His mind clings to the past. Once... there was another, and he releases the Dragon Orb.
Image Description
He reminisces about his enchantment with the orb at first glance – how touching it unleashed the power of creation through his hands and captivated his senses. From now on, you shall be the lord of these mortal realms. Was it the voice of that other person? Or of the Dragon itself? Now he has become the Dragon!
Image Description
"Yes..." he says, knowing it to be true.
Meaning
Creation of order from chaos, authority, power, leadership, strength, establishment of law and order. The wall carvings symbolize territory and authority. The eagle soars over mountains and sea, both night and day, governing all. The creatures of earth are subject to his rule. Despite the grandeur of the carvings, the wall is a human creation – an effort to control worldly chaos by etching it into unchanging stone and by the human desire to govern, leave a mark, and write their own fate. The Emperor is a person rooted in his methods, views, and rules, confidently believing that this is the right structure and order of things.
