Wisdom and Discretion

A wise person knows much, but carefully chooses those with whom it is worth sharing this knowledge. It is not always necessary to tell everything to everyone.

Visual Description

A robed figure stands before a stone throne, wearing an ornate helmet that suggests a bird-like mask and a tall plume, with a white fur mantle over the shoulders. The figure holds a long, slightly curved sword pointed toward the floor and a scabbard hangs at the hip. The scene includes patterned walls and floor tiles, a carved emblem on the throne's back, and a small sword symbol across the top border.
